Customer Reviews

How can I capture that I was not able to have a normal life for a year and thanks to Dr Whelton, literally my life is back. But, the main thing is for you to know if you are reading this review is that you need to put in the time and months to do your exercises. IT WILL WORK! I went through ER visits, ESI injections, steroid injections, ortho specialists, spine specialists, narcotics (this is the saddest part) . And NONE of it worked. I guess the universe put Dr Whelton on my path to recovery. I missed birthdays, holidays, couldn’t sit down to watch TV with my family. The only way I could work, eat or do anything was either standing up or laying down. I COULD NOT sit. My mother in law recently passed away. I was able to fly to be with her in her final moments. A year ago, that would have not been possible. So if you are desperate like I was, feel confident this is your chance to recovery.

I have ankylosing spondylitis which effects the SI joints in my back. I had it for 20 years, I had weakness and I always felt misaligned with pain in my back and hips and pelvic floor. I tried chiro, traditional PT to no avail. I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad and decided to come in and give him a shot and now I am pain free and he taught me how to realign myself. He also instilled confidence in actively not being afraid if symptoms re-emerge I know how to fix my back and hips.

I was living in pain for many years trying chiropractor adjustments and massage therapy to try to alleviate it without success. When the pandemic hit my sitting for work increased and so the pain increased too! I am a very active person but the pain was debilitating and it got to a point where I was not able to take a walk around the neighborhood. I saw the FB ad and knew I had to give this a try and thank goodness I did! My daughter just got married and I was able to dance all night and also walk over 5 miles the next day while celebrating the couple. My husband calls Dr Ryan a miracle worker and I will be eternally grateful for him giving me my life back!!

Had back pain most of my life. Went to chiropractor for several years and have not gotten the results Ive gotten in just a couple of weeks. Highly recommend.

I have had lower back pain for about a year or so and been to 2 or or 3 sports therapy places around Tampa with no success. So about 1 year into my pain I found sport and spine on Facebook and gave him a call and started treatment immediately. Not expecting much because the others had not made me feel better and amazingly I started to get better and better and better until the pain was completely gone. I was amazed and happy at the same time because finally someone had helped me. He also gives you advice on other things as well as to what to do to keep your back strengthened and how to have a complete body of health. I strongly recommend him to any type of pain therapy for anyone and any age he was great for me and helped me big time.
