Customer Reviews

I’ve been experiencing lower back pain for more than 15 years. Ironically, I’ve exercised almost all my life yet exercising didn’t seemed to help manage or get rid of the pain. Last year, the pain got so bad that I did the usual tests (x-rays, MRI, CTs) but every thing came back negative. An add for Sport & Spine Physical Therapy popped while on Facebook with a patient describing the pain they had and it was like he was reading my mind. I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did. Within the first visit I experienced some relief and after the whole treatment, I can finally say I feel awesome.

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!!!

I had sciatic pain and could hardly walk. I'm still in treatment but there has been significant improvement after his care. I would highly recommend Sport and Spine.

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!

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.
