I have ankylosing spondylitis which effects the SI joints in my back. I had it for 20 years, I had weakness and I always felt misaligned with pain in my back and hips and pelvic floor. I tried chiro, traditional PT to no avail. I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad and decided to come in and give him a shot and now I am pain free and he taught me how to realign myself. He also instilled confidence in actively not being afraid if symptoms re-emerge I know how to fix my back and hips.

I have had low back and buttock pain for 8 years I tried injections, chiros (many) traction, PT, and 2 surgical consults. I couldn’t sit and I was up all night taking 8 Aleve a day and still couldn’t sleep with pain and couldn’t roll over in bed without wincing in pain . I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad on Facebook and signed up. What he asked is not hard just takes commitment. I am not limited at all and can sleep no ache, can roll over. I liter prayed for something to stop this debilitating pain and it gone now! Highly recommend!

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.

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!
