Dr Longyear’s passion for helping others comes from a personal experience. Having gone through a traumatic football injury that left him paralyzed during his sophomore year in high school, he beat the odds and did what the doctors said wasn’t possible. After feeling defeated hearing that he would never walk again, he used their words as fuel to drive his rehab and he walked out of the hospital a month later. Since that time, he has dedicated himself to helping others defy the odds and never accept their new normal. In his own case, none of his doctors really had a consistent diagnosis. So, he started researching his case.
His passion led him to Parker University to study chiropractic, where he graduated valedictorian and continued his studies in Applied Clinical NeuroScience. Still searching for answers, he continued to study many disciplines: Chiropractic, Neurology, Psychology, Functional Medicine and Energy Medicine, just to name a few. These disciplines have all helped him design his unique brand of health care.
Dr. Longyear has a private practice in Jacksonville Florida and is still the clinical director of NeuroLIFE Institute at LIFE University where he specializes in complex neurological conditions that other health care practitioners have given up on. He is also a part of research with concussion and depression. In addition to clinically treating patients and participating in research he has designed and teaches programs for doctors around the world in the cutting-edge field of Applied Clinical Neuroscience and Functional Neurology.
