Customer Reviews

I’ve basically been told since i was 12 that my pain was just “growing pains” and that i only needed to stretch my back. Every time i would walk somewhere or stand for more than five minuets or so, i would have painful lower back pain that felt like i was constantly pinching my back and leaning backwards. I am sixteen now and i’ve tried various stretches over the years and nothing really worked so i believed it was just growing pains until very recently. When i found Dr Welton he realized on the first visit what my issue was. I had SI joint dysfunction and sacral torsion causing sheering pain in my lower back, which does not show up on MRIs. On my second visit he gave me various exercises to do at home which strengthened musicales to rotate my sacrum into place. Around my fourth week i started to notice that my back hadn’t hurt in days and even when i stood for long periods of time i had little to no pain. Whenever my back would have discomfort all i had to do was the exercises he told me to do, and my pain was gone within minuets. I am now at my last visit and i haven’t experienced any pain in weeks.

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!!!

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!!!

Dr. Whelton is very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm is contagious. He was able to fix a back problem I suffered from for years. I‘ve been to several chiropractors and even an osteopath, but Dr Whelton and his method helped me more than I expected. The exercises he gave me were easy to do and I believe will keep me from having my back “go out” as badly or as regularly as before. And if it does, I have the tools to help myself in the future. His receptionist is very sweet, and say “Hi” to Dora the dog for me!!!
