Dr. Fowler’s career in chiropractic started after enduring a traumatic snowboarding injury, fracturing and severely spraining much of his upper thoracic spine, as well as segments of his cervical spine. His Emergency Room prognosis was partial paralysis for up to six months. Seeking a second opinion, he was seen by a chiropractor – and walked out of their office the same night. He began his journey toward becoming a chiropractor shortly after.
Cody took a special interest in working with athletes while majoring in Exercise Science at Central Washington University, where he had the privilege of working in a facility that gained him access to VO2 testing, muscle biopsy, hydrostatic body fat weighing and much more. Cody then continued his journey toward chiropractic, going to school while working as a personal trainer and rehabilitation specialist for clients ranging from motivated gym-goers to sedentary, obese individuals and elderly leukemia patients. He attended chiropractic college at Palmer Chiropractic College’s West Campus in San Jose, CA where he was involved in the Sports Council, Soft Tissue Club, Associated Student Government and more.
Cody has been a personal trainer since 2006 and continues to use corrective & performance exercise training as an integral part of his patient care plans. He uses functional movement analysis combined with orthopedic and neurologic exams, to take an individualized, multi-faceted approach to increasing function and decreasing pain. Working with populations ranging from weekend warriors to amateur and professional athletes to the underserved children of Fiji, Dr. Fowler implements a unique care plan for each patient consisting of manual therapies, soft tissue work, exercise rehabilitation and home care prescriptions to ensure each patient has the potential to heal and maintain at their maximum.
When not at Symmetry treating patients, Cody enjoys spending time outdoors- especially wakeboarding, hiking, going to the beach, and golfing. Having competed in Track and Swimming, he enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle, balancing his exercise routines between running, yoga, CrossFit, and whatever else may pose a healthy challenge.
