Real Stories. Real Relief.
“I tried physical therapy, chiropractic, even Botox—and still woke up with jaw pain. Dr. Lance was the first one who actually listened. After a few visits, the tension started melting away. I finally sleep through the night!”
— Michelle W., Gulf Breeze
“We brought our 7-month-old for a flat spot on his head. My wife and I were nervous, but Dr. Laurie was amazing. She explained everything, worked so gently with our baby, and now his head shape has improved more than we thought possible.”
— Daniel R., Navarre
“It’s not just the therapy—it’s the peace. Whorton Therapy is the first place where I felt like my physical pain and my emotional stress were both being treated. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced.”
— Jenna B., Fort Walton Beach
“Lance and Laurie are both amazing. I saw Lance for “mommy wrist” and right shoulder pain. Surgery was being thrown out after two failed steroid injections and after working with Lance, I’m now pain free. Laurie helped my son who was diagnosed with torticollis. After a few visits it was night and day. My son was able to lift his head and turn it to the left, things he previously couldn’t do. They both have excellent bed side manner and I highly recommend!!!! Five stars isn’t enough!”
—Rebecca S., Navarre
