I began to have some really bad digestive and intestinal issues and experience some bleeding, I was sent to have a colonoscopy. After the procedure was complete the doctors couldn’t find any direct cause for my problems. The only explanation he could think of was that there seemed to be a problem with the communication that takes place between my brain and my digestive system. Not knowing what else to do he prescribed me some extremely strong and expensive probiotic pills and call him in two weeks. I walked out thinking “Great another pill to be on and another hit to my budget, and why the heck did my brain and digestive system stop talking to each other.?”
Enter Dr. Rode. I met Dr Rode and learned a little of what he does. Impressed enough by the man alone, I felt confident and comfortable enough to visit his office and have x-rays done to see if we could find some answers. Answers were found. I had a water skiing accident 5 years ago that twisted up my spine. Though I suffered from my injury to my hamstring, I was not having back pain that put me on alert. The twisted spine resulted in a clamping down of the nerves coming out of my spine. He was able to show me on his chart which nerves of mine were being impinged and these happened to be the nerves to my digestive system and more specifically my intestines. Finally the answer. My brain couldn’t talk to my intestines because the nerves had pressure on them. I thought my MD sounded ridiculous telling me my brain and digestive system were not communicating anymore. Well he was completely correct but unfortunately opted to prescribe me a pill rather than advise that I see a doctor who is an expert on the nervous system, a chiropractor. Dr Rode put me on a plan of frequent adjustments and in only a month’s time, I no longer suffer with these issues I was experiencing. I take no pills and my body is back to a proper working machine with all lines of communication intact. I thank Dr. Rode for his care, genuine concern, desire for solutions, and expertise. Thank you Dr. Rode!
