Riders take the full force of impact with nothing between them and the road. Dr. Gregory Mayfield — 31+ years of MVA care, former police officer, expert witness — evaluates spinal and soft-tissue injuries that the ER misses and documents everything your claim needs.
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.
Direct impact often compresses the cervical spine. We assess alignment, disc integrity, and nerve involvement before pain becomes chronic.
High-side and low-side falls load the lower and mid-back suddenly — strains, disc bulges, and facet irritation are common and treatable.
Outstretched-arm landings and direct impacts cause shoulder complex injuries that chiropractic care addresses alongside referral when needed.
Road rash, abrasion trauma, and bracing for impact leave the muscles in prolonged protective spasm — we release that pattern and restore range of motion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Delayed care means delayed recovery — and a weaker injury record. Same-day appointments available for motorcycle accident patients in Monroe and Ouachita Parish.
