Dr. Rick Longie

              Suffering from back pain for many years and desperate for relief, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Longie’s office.  They told me to come in that day.  I arrived barely able to walk with my body twisted in pain, my right shoulder was drawn  down almost even with my waist and my head was turned left.  I was x-rayed and treated that day.  After four consecutive visits, I walked out completely free of pain.  This was a little more than five years ago. 

              I continue to see Dr. Longie every two weeks to maintain my health.  I have asthma.  Prior to being treated by Dr. Longie, I could hardly sleep at night.  My breathing was so bad and I really struggled to get in and out of bed.  I was unable to lie on my back at all.  I couldn’t walk to my mailbox and back without stopping to rest and I was using an inhaler regularly.  Now, I seldom ever use my inhaler.  I enjoy playing pool at the St. Clair Street Center and  my playing is much improved.  I’m running out of space to display my trophies!  I’m feeling great and enjoying my senior years.  Thanks to my Chiropractor Dr. Longie! 

 Sincerely,

Hi, my name is Brennan.  I am 8 months old.  When my mom was carrying me, I was so big that I stayed in one position.  With this happening, it caused me to keep my head turned to the left after I was born.  My doctor instructed my  mom that every time she changed my diaper she needed to force my head to make me turn to the right 5 times.  He told her if something was not done I would keep my head turned or tilted and could loose control of my neck.  If mom forcing my head to the right did not work after 1 month they were going to try physical therapy next.  My Aunt did not like the idea of forcing my head to turn.  My Aunt is a patient of Dr. Longie’s and when she went to his office she saw a program that was running on the TV.  It explained how when children are born their necks are stretched to twice the length they should be and how this can cause problems.  She talked to Dr. Longie about my condition and he felt he could help.  She then talked with my Mom, who agreed to  allow Dr. Longie to treat my condition.  I am happy to say that I can turn my head either direction.  I’m crawling, swimming, investigating everything, and even trying to talk with no neck problems.  THANKS to Dr. Longie, I’m a happy, growing little boy who like all little boys is getting into everything I can. 

Thanks Dr. Lonige,

             My son’s name is Joshua Harrell, age 7, and has been coming to Dr. Longie since Jan. 2008.  I started taking him after I read a booklet in Dr. Longie’s office about how Chiropractic care helps relieve the symptoms of ADD and another about ho it helps lung problems.  My son has never been formally diagnosed with ADD but definitely has the symptoms from not being able to focus to uncontrollable behavior.  I thought I could counteract these symptoms with activities that help children focus, but they did not work.  He also suffers from a chronic cough that started when he was 6 months old.  He has been to doctor after doctor and even a specialist, has been on rounds of antibiotics, and the cough disappeared for a while but always came back. This cough has interrupted his sleep and made it difficult to interact with other children because their mothers did not want their children to get sick, even though he was not contagious.  By this time he had been suffering for too long without proper relief and I was at my wits end. I had been seeing Dr. Longie since Nov. 2007 for shoulder discomfort and he did wonders with me.  After reading the booklets, I discussed with Dr. Longie my sons condition and he told me to bring him in and he would take a look.  After my sons first visit we saw immediate changes in his behavior.  He went from a child who got in trouble everyday at school to only getting in trouble once a month.  This was an amazing improvement because he could focus on school work better which made his grades go up.  I have had many people comment on how his behavior has improved.  His cough has taken longer to fix.  It is definitely not as intense and has been gradually going away with every visit.  Dr. Longie recommended a cough spray that he has in his office that has done more good than any cough syrup that I got from the pharmacy.  It is tasteless and gives instant relief.  My son can function properly now and doesn’t have to worry about taking antibiotics that he hates. I am vey happy that I brought my son in for treatment.  The improvement in his behavior and his cough is priceless.  I never thought he would have this much success with out being on daily medication.  Chiropractic has been the answer to my Prayers! Thanks, Dr. Longie

 I was experiencing extreme pain in my lower back and down her left leg.  I had to walk bent over because if I straightened my back the pain was too much.  Doing the simplest chore was difficult; I had to sit while doing them.  After 2 or 3 visits I could tell the difference in how I moved.  Today, I am feeling much better.  I can walk with my back straight, stand to cook, and wash dishes.

After several doctors could only offer me epidurals, pain pills, and nothing for the problem causing the pain.  I decided to talk to Dr. Longie. After x-rays and tests, Dr. Longie said he could help me.  He certainly has!  No shots-No pills!  He has made my life so much happier.  I get around so much easier and feel so much better since getting Dr. Longies treatment.  It is wonderful to be without the pain I have had for the last two years.

 An added bonus is the friendliness and help from Dr. Longie and his staff!

Thank You,

Sandra Brannon

             My daughter Taylor, age 11, has been going to Dr. Longie since Jan. 2008.  She is a goalie on her competitive soccer team.  Her body has to endure a lot of hard hits, from strikes on the goal, to hitting the ground from making a save.  She started complaining that her back was hurting her and she found it hard to sleep at night because she was in pain.  After seeing Dr. Longie for the first time she experienced immediate relief.  She said that her back felt great and now she can sleep through the night without pain.  She looks forward to seeing Dr. Longie for the adjustments because of the relief she gets. She had been seeing Dr. Longie for about six months when she started experiencing knee trouble.  She would stand up and just collapse, then cry because the pain was so intense.  I knew something was wrong because she is not one to cry over pain.  My husband and I were about to make an appointment with the orthopedic doctor when I suggested trying Dr. Longie first.  Then if he could not fix her we will make an appointment.  I brought her in and Dr. Longie looked ate her knee, felt around to see what was going on, and with one adjustment he fixed her problem.  She has not complained since.  I am really grateful because he saved us a lot of money from possibly having surgery and saved Taylor from unnecessary pain.

          Even though I have gotten criticism from people from people that work in the medical profession for taking my daughter to a Chiropractor, I have seen with my two eyes what they can do.  The instant relief she experienced after suffering for a long time with pain is remarkable.  She now knows that if she gets hurt and experiences pain to tell Dr. Longie and not suffer in silence.
