Meet Dr. Rick Longie
Sedalia Chiropractor Dr. Rick Longie loves getting results for his patients with natural and holistic chiropractic care. Being able to put a smile back on the face of someone who’s been hurting for a long time, without drugs or surgery, is extremely gratifying.
For over 40 years, he has provided quality health care and wellness to those in his hometown of Sedalia. Patients respond to his friendly, caring, and concerned approach to care.
Following the Family Tradition
Dr. Rick’s path to becoming a chiropractor started with witnessing his older cousin Ed at work. Growing up, he always looked up to Ed, an experienced chiropractor, and was inspired to follow in his footsteps. Dr. Rick would watch Ed adjust aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, moms, sisters, and brothers at family gatherings and see the results.
“One day, my Aunt Helen whispered to me that she thought I should become a chiropractor one day. Her suggestion became stuck in my head. I knew that someday I, too, would become a chiropractor like my cousin Ed.”
Education and Achievements to be Proud Of
During his first semester at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, MO, Dr. Rick was fascinated to learn how the nervous system controls and coordinates every function in the body, and in 1979, he received his Doctor of Chiropractic.
Throughout his decades of practice, he has completed hundreds of hours of postgraduate study, including advanced X-ray studies and acupuncture training. He has also had advanced training in extremity adjusting, which many practices do not offer.
Dr. Rick is a graduate of the Parker Research Foundation and served as the former secretary of the Tennessee Chiropractic Association while practicing there. He is also the author of the highly regarded book The Cure Lies Within.
