Customer Reviews

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 had been experiencing left side hip pain for well over a year. It progressed to lower back and leg pain on the same side. It was painful to walk and stairs were almost impossible. While researching the best exercises to do, an add popped up on Facebook for Dr Whelton. I liked what he had to say and so I booked an evaluation appointment. In 1 visit he diagnosed my problem and formulated a treatment plan. Within the first week I felt better than I had in a very long time. He is so knowledgeable and caring. Working with him has been a great experience. He taught me to live pain free!

Psychosomatic. The word that started it all! It all started with my then 11yo daughter suddenly couldn’t walk. This 3 year journey consisted of numerous doctors visits to pediatricians, cardiologists, neurologists, rheumatologists, physiatrists, geneticists, physical therapists, radiologists and back again to a wonderful physiatrist named Dr. Batas. After my daughter’s muscle biopsy, he suggested the ‘Hip Whisperer.’ At first, I was very skeptical. But I was NOT accepting the ‘we don’t know what’s wrong. Let’s try this (insert procedure and/or doctor). ‘ AND I just wanted my daughter’s pain level to stop being an 8 out of ten and for her to stop taking pain medication. Hip whisperer, Whatever! 🤨 Can you say that my daughter walks beautifully, is stronger especially when she is playing soccer, best posture that she has ever had, no pain meds, does the splits, she runs, she climbs, she lifts, she can sit up, she can do a crunch! 😜 But the most important thing to me: She smiles. She is so happy now. You don’t know how that makes me feel. All because of a man who went beyond the typical medical mindset and found something that effects so many in silence for so long. Dr. Ryan Whelton. The Hip Whisperer. He is amazing. Plus, My daughter thinks that he has a nice doggo. 💖

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!

Best PT I have ever been to! He helped me so much with my back, knee, shoulder with his amazing methods he created without causing me pain. I have tries so many things but he was able to help where others failed me. I would never go to those cook book PTs ever again after coming to Dr. Ryan
