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 severe low back pain for over 4 years I couldn’t stand up to even go to the supermarket to get groceries. I have had over 40 injections into my low back but it never worked and no one could tell me WHY I had it. I have tried other PTs, chiros, pain management, acupuncture, massage nothing helped. I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad and figured one more chance to try. He diagnosed me with not only a herniated disc in my back but what everyone missed and he caught was that I had a mechanical issue in my sacrum and pelvis that was really causing all the pain which didn’t show up on X-rays and MRIs. I didn’t even believe my doctors even could understand how painful my condition is (was) Now, I am pretty much pain free and he taught me how to not him or anyone again of it flares up. Highly highly highly recommend him I always recommend people to come see him! I am so bummed today as it is my last visit with him:(

I have seen Dr Whelton for 10 weeks of physical therapy and he has helped me with my back more than any doctor 8 have seen. I started with back pain in 2016, was asked how I was walking and had chiropractor services to ease the pain. I have been told I need surgery but I’m afraid to do it. The physical therapy has helped me more than anything. The exercises help keep everything in place. Less money, less pills. No surgery. I would recommend Dr Walton to anyone with back pain.I’m happy with my results! Thank you Dr. Wheaton!!

I have had sciatic like symptoms for 3 years I tried PT but it came back I did chiro and acupuncture the pain was 10/10 legitimately even on daily pain meds. I tried PT again and it didn't work. I saw an ad for Dr. Whelton read testimonials I decided to come it took us a good 16 weeks of rehab but we finally got my SI joints stabilized and low back pain gone and now I know what to do to help myself without him in the future he taught me! I was determined not to do that surgery they wanted to do turns out I didn't need it!!!!
