Customer Reviews

For 4 years I was in pain, with two back surgeries, a neck surgery, and tons of medication .When I weaned myself off because even that wasn't helping, I went through depression ,and I stayed in a depression because I was not fixed. Staring down the barrel of another surgery, I found Dr Whelton and thought well it can't hurt a $21 consultation fee I noticed a difference the first day .I was not in pain and I got the tingling out of my legs He explain to me that I probably didn't even need my second back surgery, and it wasn't my back at all I've never felt better and it's only been a month ,and I am back to doing things I was doing five years ago before any of my accidents or back problems I've got my life back and I've never been happier Thank you Dr. whelton Sport and Spine

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.

How can I capture that I was not able to have a normal life for a year and thanks to Dr Whelton, literally my life is back. But, the main thing is for you to know if you are reading this review is that you need to put in the time and months to do your exercises. IT WILL WORK! I went through ER visits, ESI injections, steroid injections, ortho specialists, spine specialists, narcotics (this is the saddest part) . And NONE of it worked. I guess the universe put Dr Whelton on my path to recovery. I missed birthdays, holidays, couldn’t sit down to watch TV with my family. The only way I could work, eat or do anything was either standing up or laying down. I COULD NOT sit. My mother in law recently passed away. I was able to fly to be with her in her final moments. A year ago, that would have not been possible. So if you are desperate like I was, feel confident this is your chance to recovery.

I have had low back pain for 22 yrs, mid back pain for a year, shoulder pain and plantar fasciitis for 7 years. I have tried PT for my back issues. For the plantar fasciitis I tried everything, ultrasound shock treatments and shots into my foot also I wore a boot and then I had surgery for it and it didn't work. Now after 8 weeks i have no pain! And Dr. Whelton taught me how to fix all these issues if if they ever returns!

after 3 years of trying everything (injections, traction, chiropractic, and physical therapy) I couldn't drive 5 mins home from work without being in severely back pain i had to lay down in my car because I was hurting so bad when I was trying to drive. One of my employees told me about Dr. Ryan and the amazing results they know people get. I live in oldsmar and it is a bit of a drive but was well worth it. Now 5 weeks later just as he said I am pretty much pain free. What's more is that he taught how to help myself in the future and I don't even him! I own a business and that is unheard of. A true healer he is.
