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.

Dr. Whelton is my miracle worker. I have been to so many medical people over the years and no one knew how to help me. I had hip issues, I had back issues neck issues and shoulder issues. I saw orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, injections and surgeries. I had a shot that nearly paralyzed my left arm and I had a lump in my neck that he was able to help in a short time. When I met Dr. Whelton he immediately knew what was wrong with me and how to fix it. He has some kind of intuitive gift he knows the human body so well that he just knew how to help me when no one else could even come close and most didn’t have a clue. Every time I go to see him in pain he works his magic and I leave pain free and happy. I always recommend him to everyone. I often tell my friends he is not your typically physical therapist or health care worker, he thinks outside the box and has developed really amazing treatment methods that help immediately. He keeps me free of pain and I am so incredibly grateful. He is also a very positive and lovely person who genuinely wants his patients to be better and stay better!

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 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.

Just want to give a shout out to Dr Whelton! I came in with debilitating pain in my tail-bone, coccyx area. I had tried acupuncture, chiropractic care, injections from orthopedic dr, minimally invasive surgery on my spine only to receive temporary relief. Since I have been seeing Dr Whelton my tailbone pain has reduced considerably. I went from a 9 in pain scale to a 2. Dr Whelton gave me a series of exercises specific to my sacral pain. It wasn’t easy but so glad I followed the plan. I will continue to do the exercises prescribed. Dr Whelton and his assistant Annette are awesome. If you need a Dr that listens and take the time to explain your condition he is the guy! Thinks out of the box with respect to hard to diagnose cases. I am blessed to have found.
