Customer Reviews

I have had low back pain for 24 years and more recently hip pain too. I have tried chiropractors, acupuncture but the pain always returned. I saw a Facebook ad for DR Whelton i was super skeptical because noone 6 help me. Now in about 7 weeks i am good and started working out again i feel stronger and if i get the pain again he taught me how to fix myself without him!

I have had lower back pain for about a year or so and been to 2 or or 3 sports therapy places around Tampa with no success. So about 1 year into my pain I found sport and spine on Facebook and gave him a call and started treatment immediately. Not expecting much because the others had not made me feel better and amazingly I started to get better and better and better until the pain was completely gone. I was amazed and happy at the same time because finally someone had helped me. He also gives you advice on other things as well as to what to do to keep your back strengthened and how to have a complete body of health. I strongly recommend him to any type of pain therapy for anyone and any age he was great for me and helped me big time.

I hurt my neck and shoulder and had numbness in my arm and hand the surgeon wanted to fuse two vertebrae in my neck and I didn't want to do that. I saw Dr. Whelton's ad and went in with some exercises and he taught me how to relieve neck pain and tension on my own now I don't need surgery! My arm, shoulder and neck all feel great! I strongly recommend him!

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 have had back pain for over ten years I have tried PT, Chiro, acupuncture, massage, yoga, Pilates, medications, they wanted to try surgery I did not want to. I saw Dr. Whelton’s ad on FB I said it’s worth a shot. On the first visit he got rid of my pain and showed me that I had been misdiagnosed for a decade! Now, I can work out and I am pain free I can sit without pain! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
