Michele Longoria, DC, CSP

Over my lifetime, I have seen 6 chiropractors regularly, each from several months to years. Dr. Longoria is the one I stuck with. I always tell her if I move away, I am going to have to fly her in to where I live. I have seen her on and off for about 7 years now (because I have very severe issues!) and have become more enlightened about my body over these years. No words can express how knowledgeable this woman is about the body. She walks me through the anatomy of what my issues are and tells my why and what she’s doing. Dr. Longoria is not a traditional «back-​cracking» chiropractor. I think she has only actually cracked my back once, and for good reason. She specializes in causing you to release your muscle tension and move muscles back into their natural position based on bone structure using your mind and breath to assist. This results in a more permanent resolution to your issues. She then will assign you stretches and/​or strength training movements to help balance your body where it may be out of synergy with itself for a more permanent resolution. There are so many issues with my body that get resolved with her assistance that I wonder what I would do without her.
She also is NOT about the money. She’s very not about the money. She has a flat fee which is very affordable and I send those statements to my insurance co. She does not make you come back or coerce you to re-​schedule regularly, like most (useless) chiropractors who only crack your back and tell you to see them 2 to 3 times a week for the first few weeks. Depending on your issues she may recommend scheduling follow-​ups, but for me, it’s more on an as-​needed basis. I highly recommend this chiropractor, as I have been around the block with chiropractors, and she is the best.

Dr. Longoria is the best chiropractor I have ever seen. She is more than a chiropractor, she is a true healer and with her I collaborate to keep my body performing at it’s highest level. I am a dancer and dance fitness instructor, and have been seeing Dr. Longoria for 8 years now. She has provided the positive, holistic wisdom that has kept my body moving freely.

After not being able to sit for 15 minutes without pain for two years due to hip pain, I am now able to sit for hours with no symptoms. Do I need to say more?

After having been diagnosed with piriformis syndrome (and having therapy which helped me recover) I knew what my body needed and was looking for a solution. At first I was very happy with Dr. Longoria. However, having been there 4 times (weekly). I did not feel much change. While she provides a beautiful atmosphere, the therapy she provided for me did not do anything for my pain. I asked her if we could do something more than what we had been doing and she refused. I was eager to see results especially after a month but I was disheartened to see that she couldn’t see I was still in a substantial amount of pain. Perhaps she listens well but in my case she failed to do so. After driving such a long distance to see her and not having positive results, I had cease my visits. Be aware that while the environment is very tranquil and welcoming it is important to make sure you listen to your body. If you don’t feel the results let her know and hopefully you have better results than I did.

Good luck!

Dr. Longoria is like a modern day Shamen.
I haven’t ever had an experience like this before, and I’m almost. happy… that I got in a car wreck because it lead me to Dr. Longoria. She checked in with me and my body (indeed, seeing/​feeling/​treating my body almost as a separate entity) and did a series of small adjustments that were downright magical. She understood what my body needed when even I didn’t, as I was just rattled from the crash.
She spoke to my body (literally) and knew what I was doing before I did. It was a very powerful experience. Her hands are attuned to feel seemingly everything. I was on my back and she had her fingers gently on my neck and would say «ah ah ah, release the inner thigh…» …“keep the tongue heavy… that’s right”… I didn’t even know I was doing these things and she could feel it in my body before my mind was aware of it… whhaaaa??? It seems like magic. But I know she’s truly just a gifted healer as well as a superb chiropractor.
She doesn’t take insurance, but if you pay $ 100 – 200 for a massage, trust me, this is beyond worth it and, in that sense, incredibly reasonable for what you get. The prices go down after the first treatment.
All in all this woman is a gift as she is 100% pro-​body. It was quite an experience to find a Dr. who was more caring with my body then I am. Very eye opening and life changing. We put our bodies through so much, it’s nice to know there is a place to go where our bodies will be listened to and supported.
Molly, who runs the desk, is so sweet and helpful, too.

This physical therapist/​chiropractor pretty much saved my life. I cannot speak highly enough of her practice. She is a miracle worker.
For about five years, I had unexplained migraines and other physical problems that no doctor could explain which had left me close to incapacitated — until Dr. Longoria. Her combination of physical therapy, yoga and core stabilization, and cranial sacral therapy/​SOT changed all of that. I have fully recovered from pain that I thought was permanent, thanks to her wisdom and help. I hike, I play sports again — I’m a normal person — thanks to her practice. Wow.
I’ve also referred others to Dr. Longoria with similar results.
She’s a little on the strange side as doctors go, but she’s also brilliant and changed my life. If you’re looking for a physical therapist or are just at the end of your rope in the search for medical assistance with chronic pain, give her a try. I truly don’t think you’ll be disappointed, and it may be the best decision you’ve ever made.
(She does not take insurance, but her office assistant, Molly, will be more than happy to give you the materials you need to bill your insurance. I know this sounds cumbersome, and it is, but Dr. Longoria is worth it. And Molly is incredibly nice and helpful.)
