Customer Reviews

I’ve basically been told since i was 12 that my pain was just “growing pains” and that i only needed to stretch my back. Every time i would walk somewhere or stand for more than five minuets or so, i would have painful lower back pain that felt like i was constantly pinching my back and leaning backwards. I am sixteen now and i’ve tried various stretches over the years and nothing really worked so i believed it was just growing pains until very recently. When i found Dr Welton he realized on the first visit what my issue was. I had SI joint dysfunction and sacral torsion causing sheering pain in my lower back, which does not show up on MRIs. On my second visit he gave me various exercises to do at home which strengthened musicales to rotate my sacrum into place. Around my fourth week i started to notice that my back hadn’t hurt in days and even when i stood for long periods of time i had little to no pain. Whenever my back would have discomfort all i had to do was the exercises he told me to do, and my pain was gone within minuets. I am now at my last visit and i haven’t experienced any pain in weeks.

Dr. Whelton is extremely knowledgeable and has made a huge difference in my daughter's life. My daughter has had back pain for years from over a decade of riding and jumping horses. She started treatment with him a little over a month ago. Before she started treatment, she had back pain all the time and it was especially bad after riding and jumping. Today after riding, she had no pain and she's able to ride more effectively too. Her mood has also improved because she's no longer in pain. In addition to being knowledgeable, Dr. Whelton and his staff are very kind and caring people. We are so thankful that we found him and she is able to have relief from years of back pain.

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.

Thank you for being the light at the end of a painful tunnel. After 2 years of pain, lots of money spent on chiropractors, acupuncture, massage and even speaking to a surgeon I can joyfully say I am pain free!! I wish more people could know they don’t have to suffer everyday. There are no words that can express how grateful I am to Dr. Ryan for being able to pick my daughter up & hold her. Thank you!! My only regret is I didn’t hear of you sooner.

I've been dealing with severe lower back pain for 18 years. I'm 35 years old and have contemplated suicide at times because I've been in so much pain for so long. Every Xray or MRI would come back as "herniated disc" and that I needed injections and surgery to correct the problem. I met Dr. Whelton through one of his videos on FB and in 8 weeks time he has healed me!! No surgeries, no injections, NO RX's! He diagnosed the actual problem and fixed it. If you need help and are in pain please reach out to him. He will change your life and that isn't an exaggeration.
