"I’ve never experienced anything close to
excruciating back pain, so I discounted my need
for a chiropractor. I suffer from chronic tightness between
my shoulder blades. I cannot remember a time in my adult life
that the tightness wasn’t there. It has been ten months since my initial
visit, and the progress I’ve noticed is
remarkable. A wonderful side-benefit of my treatments
is the additional mobility I experience when I
move my head. Now I can freely look over my right
shoulder."
D.A.
"Several years ago I began to experience hip and
back pain. Like many, I had begun to sit at a
computer for the better part of my workday. Once
I started treatments with Dr. Yeager, I began to
see a difference in how I was feeling at the end
of the day. The calming atmosphere and
professional staff along with the prescribed
treatments have made a remarkable difference in
my health and ability to deal with the daily
stress we all endure."
B.P.
"I came here because I hurt my back. I was
at gymnastics and I was on the second floor. I
was running, of course because we were playing
tag. There was a wall so I slipped, flipped, and
hit my back on the wall and flipped over. Then I
went to Dr. Long. It helped my back a lot
because I don’t feel any numbness in my legs,
and I’ve gotten taller and smarter."
J.S., age 11
"I first came to West University Wellness because of the constant pain in my
back and feet. I was taking muscle
relaxers and pain pills almost everyday. I had
difficulty walking. Because of the
treatments I have received here the pain has
subsided and I rarely take muscle relaxers or
pain pills.
The staff and Dr. Yeager are always friendly.
They are willing to answer all of my questions.
I am doing a lot better and would like to thank
Dr. Yeager and his staff. THANK YOU!!! "
M.P.
"I have been suffering from low back pain and
tight shoulders for a few years surely because
of a poor posture at work. Dr. Yeager gave me an
accurate diagnosis of my condition characterized
by a black color (very bad) for most of my
vertebras! My wife, who got shoulders and neck
pain from a previous car accident and lower back
pain as well as knee pain, has consulted Dr.
Yeager as well. We both feel much better since
our first visit! He is always very helpful in
understanding and solving any medical problems."
A. & M. L.
"When I first was invited to Dr. Long's office I could barely walk. I had strained my back at work and the pain was excruciating. After one treatment the pain subsided and I was able to return to work while wearing a back support. My exercise regimen gradually became more intense and six weeks after my initial visit I am stronger and feel better than I have in years!"

"I had been having problems with sharp pain in my shoulder as well as lingering pain in my neck and lower back. I was met here with professionalism, courtesy, and care throughout all my visits. A personally tailored physical therapy regimen was designed to help me recover. I was also referred for massages which really helped my sore muscles, and I was surprised that my insurance covered it. Since my visits began, I have already recommended 2 new patients to West U Wellness!"

"During Labor Day weekend, I woke up with a knot in my upper right shoulder and back. It was very painful and no matter what, I could not work it out. I found Dr. Caroline Long on my insurance website referral and made a call. Her office took me in that afternoon and she has changed my life. She has given me a new zest in life by being able to move around without feeling muscle cramps or twinges, without pain, and the ability to sleep better at night. The staff is all so very comforting and caring and you don’t even feel like you’re at a doctor’s office. Give her a try today!"

"Being overweight and suffering from injuries sustained from 37 years as a firefighter, I had chronic back and right hip pain. I soon discovered that not only does Dr. Long have excellent bedside manner; she also used the latest technology in the field of Chiropractic care. After just under 3 months, my back and hip pain are virtually non-existent. I have also begun an exercise program under the care of Dr. Long and have begun building muscle mass and toning my body."
J.K.
Retired Firefighter
"In January 1989, I was in a car wreck that left me with a closed head injury which resulted in some brain damage, clinical depression and severe aches and pains in my neck, shoulders and low back – along with frequent migraine headaches. Over the next 10 years, I was sent to various providers of physical therapy and took enough prescription medication to fill a pharmacy with virtually no improvement. Finally, toward the end of 2002, a friend recommended that I try her chiropractor, Dr. Sherman Yeager. Since that time, I have felt so much better – I truly consider it a miracle! I shall be eternally grateful."
M.T.,
HR Consultant
"Since this was my first time getting treated with acupuncture, Dr. Yeager informed me the needle would feel no more than a mosquito bite. And he was right! The needle did not hurt at all. After the six-week treatment, the dullness in my lower back has disappeared. During the treatment, Dr. Yeager even relieved a minor shoulder ache in just one session. I highly recommend acupuncture for everyone."
F.Y.,
Banker and Actor
"This last May, one week before my team was to compete in the Annual Houston Dragon Boat Festival Race, I reinjured my back. This injury has plagued me for years and in the past I have treated it solely with medication. Within two days of your treatment I noticed a significant improvement in both the pain and flexibility of my back. I never used any drugs and with only two follow-up sessions I have been pain-free for almost 6 weeks."
A.R.,
Airline Sales Manager
"Hoping to find some relief from the pain I had
been experiencing in my lower back and left hip
I began seeing Dr. Long in early 2005. For the
first time in 3 years I am virtually free of
back pain and discomfort. Dr. Long is honest
when it comes to prognosis and treatments. It is
refreshing to find a doctor that is genuinely
interested in their patients and their well
being."
C.J.
"After evacuating from Metairie, LA due to
Hurricane Katrina I began experiencing pain in
my legs, hips and back. During my first visit to
Dr. Yeager’s office, I mentioned to him that I
have ulcerative colitis. After my first two
visits with Dr. Yeager my hips, legs and back
were much better. Surprisingly, so was my
ulcerative colitis! I was so much better that I
actually was able to exercise twice in the first
week of therapy."
G.K
"In December, I had a vehicle rear end my car
and did not feel any pain at the time. Then with
additional stress in our business, golfing in
Cabo, and sleeping on a hard bed with stiff
pillows upon my return home, I could hardly move
my head from side to side. After three weeks of
treatments I began to have movement and after
four months I am completely mobile without pain."
D.C.
"I suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain for about nine years. I met Dr. Caroline Long and Dr. Sherman Yeager at a health fair in August. I began my treatment in September and I must say I was very skeptical at first since I was unfamiliar with this type of treatment. But after only a few weeks, one of the best things for me is getting up in the morning without the usual aches and pains I've had to live with in the past. I am glad I chose this method of treatment and now I can recommend it to others who I think will benefit from it."
Sister T.S.J.
"Initially I went to another chiropractic after I was injured in a car accident. I went consistently for two months, but I didn't get well. I started acupuncture treatments three times a week. After six weeks I felt about 75% better. Then she added cold laser therapy, and for the first time since the accident I noticed no pain in my neck!"
V.Z.,
Realtor
"I was not able to turn my neck from side to
side because of the pain. After several sessions
with you, I am now pleased to say that is no
longer a problem. While the shoulder pain
continues, it has lessened considerably from
your treatments. Thank you for your kindness and
professional care."
A.B.
"After being in a car accident, I came to West U
Wellness. I had severe pain in my neck and
shoulder. After several visits with Dr. Long I
felt great. I recommend to everyone to seek
chiropractic treatment after an accident because
there may be problems that you are not aware of
at that moment."
A.M.
"About a month and a half ago I started having
some pain in the left shoulder/neck area. Two
days later the pain was so strong that I
couldn’t sleep at all. After my first visit I
felt much better, the pain was almost gone and
what is more important, she has found what the
pain and what needs to be done to fix it. "
E.R.
"I was having headaches everyday. I did not get relief when I took Tylenol tablets. I thought the problem might be related to vision problems, so I went to an ophthalmologist but everything checked out fine. I began treatments with Dr. Long and my headaches improved after the first treatment. The stress and pain in my neck, upper and lower back are improving each day. My arms and legs are getting stronger."
F.H.
"I was having terrible headaches that lasted
days at a time. After a couple of weeks of
treatment, my headaches diminished and within a
couple of months, they were gone! Every time I
go in for an adjustment, I enjoy the soft,
relaxing music. I’ve enjoyed my treatment so
much that I’ve recommended West U Wellness to my
best friend."
S.C.
"I didn't want my pregnancy to worsen my aches and pains without any help so I went to Dr. Caroline Long. Pretty much most of my body was hurting, especially my lower back, legs, and feet because of the increasing weight of my baby. She would give hot compresses, deep tissue massages, and adjustments to help alleviate the pain. I am very grateful for that, believe me! I'm thankful that Dr. Long and Dr. Yeager were able to give me the prenatal care that I needed."
E.A.
IT Specialist
"Throughout most of my first pregnancy I
experienced lower back and hip pain. I thought
it was just a given that pregnancy equals pain.
As soon as I found out I was pregnant for the
second time I became very interested in finding
a chiropractor that was knowledgeable on the
Webster technique. The Webster technique may
increase the chance of the baby being correctly
positioned for a normal vaginal birth. When I
started experiencing lower back pain I scheduled
an appointment with Dr. Long. She recommended
some exercises and after doing those and seeing
her a few times I started feeling much better.
Because of how easy my second pregnancy was I
highly recommend seeing a chiropractor to any
pregnant women I encounter."
L.P.
"Three good pushes I had given birth to my baby
girl Madison. All of the nurses and my doctor
was saying how much of an easy labor and
delivery that I had. Even my OB doctor said that
my visits with my chiropractor helped even
before the delivery, she noticed how well I was
carrying with the baby and all. I would
recommend Dr. Long for anyone that is pregnant
or not and having some trouble and just need
that relief and comfort that pain medications
can’t take away."
H.L.
"I met Dr. Sherman Yeager at a networking group
and decided to go to West U Wellness in the hope
that he could help me with the knee pain I suffer
due to arthritis and deteriorating cartilage.
After just a few treatments, my pain was
diminished remarkably. I am a firm believer in
his abilities and I recommend West U Wellness to
all of my friends and clients who are looking
for a solution to their pain."
M.C.
"Prevention is a key word --- many doctors will
issue medications or cortisone shots that will
make your problem feel immediately better, but
in reality they are simply a Band-Aid. Recently
I decided to attempt the MS150. In addition to
daily exercise and specific training classes, I
incorporated chiropractic care into my training
regime. Dr. Long and her staff helped me
immensely in my ability to not only ride IN the
MS150 but in COMPLETING it!"
E.G.
"Early in November 2003, I awoke one morning and I knew I had to have help. With the greatest of luck I found Dr. Caroline Long. Now my body is getting in alignment, I am sleeping better, having more energy and I am able to do the exercises that I need. Our goal is to heal and strengthen my muscles and body so that I can take the long hikes in the Colorado mountains that I love and enjoy life to the fullest."

"My husband and I come to West U Wellness. I
enjoy the exercise routine. We sit on a big ball
and balance ourselves. Sometimes we laugh a lot.
It is fun and exciting and makes me feel like a
kid again! When we go to the adjusting room, Dr.
Long is very careful with me because she knows
my specific body needs. I feel very good after
the adjustment."

"Jared has experienced better health overall, improved breathing, and - in his words - 'I can jump and draw better.' Dr. Long has become one of his friends, someone he actually believes when given advice about food and exercise! The treatments are accomplished painlessly and with lots of attention to the patient's comfort and peace of mind. We love the people and staff at West U Wellness and will continue our relationship well into the future."

"While living in West Texas, at age 3, I was diagnosed with allergies to cedar, hay, ragweed, pollen, cats, chocolate, just to name a few. After moving to the Florida Gulf Coast at age 7 most of these allergies were behind me, but I did develop a recurring postnasal drip. I began taking prescription medications, and trying steam treatments,
aromatherapy, and herbal regimens. These treatments alleviated the symptoms, but did not cure them. I spoke with Dr. Yeager about my condition and he recommended acupuncture. After several treatments, my postnasal drip disappeared along with the annoying cough. It is truly remarkable.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you!"

"I ended up on their door after trying different means to deal with sciatica and lumbosacroiliac dysfunction which have plagued me for almost two years. Through acupuncture and manipulation techniques, they have provided me much needed pain relief. They have become a partner in my quest to getting back a better quality and more functional lifestyle. Their genuine concern, kindness and treatment expertise are greatly appreciated."

Dr. Long was invited to treat legendary country singer Merle Haggard's crew while they were recently in town for a concert.
"At West U Wellness questions are welcomed and treated as precious gifts sent down from the curiosity gods! You are looked at as a whole person that deserves support, understanding, top-notch treatment, and knowledge that enables you to take charge of your own health. The ultimate goal is not only to relieve pain, but also to help you achieve a general state of well-being and inner stability. My shoulders, neck, and back rarely bother me these days and I am able to pursue my lifelong dream of being a dedicated educator."

"In 1999, as I was moving into my new house in the Heights, I slipped and fell down the stairs, not once but twice. As time progressed, I developed numbness in my right, upper thigh and right arm. Physical Therapy was grueling and painful, not to mention expensive. I had already spent over $2000 on Physical Therapy and had no luck with that, so I began twice weakly appointments with Dr. Long. Within 3 months the pain was knocked down to about 10% of the original level. Now, I get once a month “maintenance” treatment and I am feeling great."
D.H.,
CPA
"One weekend I fell off of one of our horses and on Monday decided that perhaps I should get checked out in case I had really done some damage. I don't like much of anything about the entire medical profession and please don't get me started on dentists! It was with great trepidation that I decided to give Dr. Long a call. There is an atmosphere of privacy, concern, complete interest in treating you as a person rather than a symptom. Great care has been taken with me.
Did I mention that I hate needles and that my palms start to sweat if I mention shots? Well, I am a true believer in acupuncture. And cold laser and ultrasound and did I mention that I have referred everyone I know to West U Wellness and Dr. Long and Dr. Yeager?"
