Customer Reviews

I have had low back buttock pain 4 months during my first consult Dr. Whelton was able to diagnose my issue and got me out of pain. Now I am.back to the gym doing weights and everything. He also helped my husband with his shoulder issue for 4 yrs. He helped get ankle range of motion back in 2 visits. He is now back to the gym as well!

I have had severe low back pain for over 4 years I couldn’t stand up to even go to the supermarket to get groceries. I have had over 40 injections into my low back but it never worked and no one could tell me WHY I had it. I have tried other PTs, chiros, pain management, acupuncture, massage nothing helped. I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad and figured one more chance to try. He diagnosed me with not only a herniated disc in my back but what everyone missed and he caught was that I had a mechanical issue in my sacrum and pelvis that was really causing all the pain which didn’t show up on X-rays and MRIs. I didn’t even believe my doctors even could understand how painful my condition is (was) Now, I am pretty much pain free and he taught me how to not him or anyone again of it flares up. Highly highly highly recommend him I always recommend people to come see him! I am so bummed today as it is my last visit with him:(

I tried three physical therapy places before coming here, after 3rd session I started feeling extremely good. Even this therapy had help me with my stress level. I would highly recommend Dr. Whelton. He also helped me find innovative ways to manage my stress effectively. He gave me the tools so that I never need him or anyone again I know what to do in the future if my back or ankle flares up!

I have had back pain for 20 plus years. I had tried epidural injections, PT, Chiropractor, MRIs acupuncture, massage they told me my constant low back and buttock was "sciatic" pain from a disc I found Dr. Whelton on Facebook came in and on the first visit I was out of pain now 7 weeks later I am pain free! I can do my daily life I am no longer depressed because I thought I would never get better highly recommend do yourself a favor and make an appointment! It was close to one hour away i drove but worth it!!!

after 3 years of trying everything (injections, traction, chiropractic, and physical therapy) I couldn't drive 5 mins home from work without being in severely back pain i had to lay down in my car because I was hurting so bad when I was trying to drive. One of my employees told me about Dr. Ryan and the amazing results they know people get. I live in oldsmar and it is a bit of a drive but was well worth it. Now 5 weeks later just as he said I am pretty much pain free. What's more is that he taught how to help myself in the future and I don't even him! I own a business and that is unheard of. A true healer he is.
