Motorcycle crashes are different — and so is the care you need

A car accident is violent. A motorcycle accident is a different category of trauma entirely. Without a frame, airbags, or a seatbelt, your spine, neck, and shoulders absorb impact directly. The cervical vertebrae compress. Discs shift. Soft tissue tears. And because your body floods with adrenaline at the scene, you may feel fine for 24–72 hours — right up until you can't turn your head.

Dr. Mayfield's background as a former police officer means he has seen these crashes from the scene forward. As a certified MVA expert witness, he knows precisely what clinical documentation insurers and attorneys need — especially important when riders are blamed unfairly for crashes they didn't cause.

Injuries we treat after a motorcycle crash

Cervical spine & neck trauma

Direct impact often compresses the cervical spine. We assess alignment, disc integrity, and nerve involvement before pain becomes chronic.

Lumbar & thoracic injuries

High-side and low-side falls load the lower and mid-back suddenly — strains, disc bulges, and facet irritation are common and treatable.

Shoulder & collarbone pain

Outstretched-arm landings and direct impacts cause shoulder complex injuries that chiropractic care addresses alongside referral when needed.

Soft-tissue & muscle guarding

Road rash, abrasion trauma, and bracing for impact leave the muscles in prolonged protective spasm — we release that pattern and restore range of motion.

Common questions from motorcycle crash patients

Should I see a chiropractor after a motorcycle accident?

Yes — and sooner is better. Adrenaline and inflammation can mask pain for days. A chiropractic evaluation identifies injuries early, begins treatment before they become chronic, and creates a documented clinical record that protects your legal claim. Call (318) 323-7246 for a same-day appointment.

What injuries are common in motorcycle crashes?

Because riders have no crumple zone or restraints, motorcycle accidents typically produce cervical and lumbar spinal trauma, herniated or bulging discs, shoulder and collarbone injuries, rib pain, road-rash-related muscle guarding, and widespread soft-tissue damage — often invisible on ER imaging.

I was cleared at the ER — do I still need chiropractic care?

Absolutely. ERs rule out fractures and life-threatening trauma, not soft-tissue or spinal alignment injuries. Many motorcycle patients leave the ER without broken bones but with disc irritation and ligament strains that cause significant pain in the days and weeks that follow. Chiropractic evaluation catches what the ER scan misses.

Do you document injuries for my insurance or legal claim?

Yes. Dr. Mayfield is a certified MVA expert witness and former police officer who provides thorough clinical records and objective findings. Riders are frequently assigned undue fault — proper documentation tells the accurate story for your insurer and attorney.

Do you work with my attorney?

Yes. We work directly with personal-injury attorneys and insurers, including attorney liens, so you can begin treatment without out-of-pocket costs while your claim is pending. Dr. Mayfield's law-enforcement and expert-witness background makes him a trusted resource for motorcycle accident cases across Northeast Louisiana.
