Affectionately known as “Dr. D,” Dr. Carolyn Longacre is a multi-faceted chiropractor, certified animal chiropractor, writer, and creative rooted in Greenville, South Carolina. She holds dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Chemistry from Western Carolina University (2005) and earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University (2012). After launching her career in Knoxville, Tennessee, she has proudly served the Greenville/Mauldin community since 2017.

​

Dr. Longacre’s passion for chiropractic began as a teenager, witnessing her father—a general contractor—struggle with chronic back pain. His natural recovery through chiropractic care not only restored his health but also ignited her calling. She began shadowing his chiropractor, observed the transformative results firsthand, and knew she was meant to serve others through the healing power of chiropractic.

Her belief in natural healing deepened through her own journey—overcoming chronic sinus issues, allergies, and recurring ear infections not through surgery or medications, but through consistent chiropractic adjustments. This experience fuels her dedication to caring for children and pregnant mothers. She has been Webster Technique certified since 2015 and is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

​

In 2024, Dr. Longacre expanded her care to the animal world. She completed a 240-hour certification through Animal Chiropractic Education Source (ACES), an additional 20-hour certificate in Food Animal Adjusting, and earned official certification through the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA)—the gold standard in the field. She has also completed advanced training in both canine and equine chiropractic, deepening her ability to serve a wide variety of species with precision and compassion. She now provides care to both humans and animals—including horses, dairy cattle, chickens, and beloved companion animals.

​

Her deepest passion lies in adjusting food animals. She believes that improved mobility, neurological function, and reduced stress in livestock not only promote ethical animal care—but also contribute to higher quality, healthier food.

Dr. Longacre currently serves as President of the International Chiropractic Association’s Council of Animal Chiropractic, where she advocates for education, ethics, and excellence in this growing specialty.

​

She is also a published chiropractic researcher with contributions including: – “Improved ambulation, quality of life and decreased pain in a 64-year-old female with polymyalgia rheumatica and multiple neuromusculoskeletal symptoms undergoing chiropractic care” (Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2017) – “Measurement of lumbar lordosis in static standing posture with and without high-heeled shoes” (Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, 2012) – “Vascular ultrasound measurements after Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic care in a patient with Bow Hunter Syndrome” (Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, 2018)

Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Longacre is a published freestyle poet, with two books—Click! Clack! and Letters From Me to You. She is also a creator of holistic art, ranging from drawing and painting to crafting organic soaps, scrubs, and handmade goods. With a background in personal training, she incorporates movement, strength, and flexibility guidance into her care plans to help patients achieve full-body wellness.

Dr. Longacre lives in Greenville with her husband Aaron, their two daughters, three cats, and two dogs—surrounded by love, purpose, and a life devoted to healing.
