Customer Reviews

I suffered from a herniated disk in my neck (C-7), causing nerve pain and numbness down my right arm. Dr Whelton had me feeling better and in no pain in 5 weeks. I highly recommend Sport and Spine Physical Therapy. Dr Whelton genuinely cares about healing and helping you fulfill a heathy, physical, and pain free life.

I visited Dr. Whelton after pursuing several options for my recurring back pain. Other PTs and chiropractors could not alleviate my discomfort and overall stiffness that prevented me from being active with my family. Dr. Whelton assessed my problem and identified issues not only with my back but also my hamstrings and hip-flexors. I could not be more happy, my flexibility has returned, I am pain free, and I am back able to be active with my family. I’m so grateful for Dr Whelton and emphatically recommend his services to those in pain. Go see him, you will not be disappointed!!!

I have had low back and buttock pain since 2014 I had to stand because I couldn't sit and drive more than 20 mins. I started seeing chiros in 2017 I got worse with treatment and couldn't work anymore. I did steroids injections, PT, orthos. I even flew to Japan to find an SI joint specialist with no results. Then I flew to Ukraine to get help it didn't fix the problem and I was back laying in bed all day. I found Dr. Whelton in an SI joint dysfunction group from someone in Canada who recommended him. I researched him and decided to come see him. Now after 4 months of extremely hard work and time of doing what he told I can now cook clean, drive go to grocery store and even get back to work as a dental hygienist which is strenuous on the back. I know how to fix any misalignments myself,Dr. Whelton taught me! All my friends who had SI joint surgeryare still in pain and don't know what to do next. Highly recommend! Don't give up keep it up until your better b because this works and you can go back to a normal life! !

I have had lower back pain for 7 years, due to a car accident. I went to the chiropractor, but it didn’t help. I’ve had multiple X-rays and they’ve always told me scoliosis was the issue, because, it turns out, my condition doesn’t show up on imaging. I made the appt. with Dr Whelton because I was tired of hearing it was scoliosis and I felt there was something else people were missing. Dr Whelton was able to point out immediately that my sacrum AND SI joints were out of alignment. With extensive exercise, we stabilized my hips and sacrum into alignment and now I feel great! Whenever I feel the pain coming, I just do what he taught me and I’m back to normal!

I have had low back pain and leg pain for 5 years I have had acupuncture, steroid injections, 3 MRIs, tried PT, chiropractic nothing worked. I couldn’t walk they told me it was sciatica the pain was to the point that I was in tears. I saw a FB ad of Dr. Whelton and on the first visit I was out of pain it wasn’t even sciatica it was my SI joint and sacrum. Now I walked 10 miles around Disney with my kids!!!! Highly recommend. Super ethical, no BS very direct and knowledgeable! He taught me what to do if it ever flares up again so I won’t need him or anyone! Highly recommend!!!
