Shooting pain down your leg, numbness in your foot, that locked-up catch when you stand? Dr. Gregory Mayfield has treated Northeast Louisiana for 31+ years from our Royal Ave office — minutes from West Monroe, ULM, and the I-20/US-165 interchange.

Our Monroe office sits on Royal Ave, minutes from West Monroe, ULM, and the medical district — with a second Mayfield location in Shreveport if you're ever out west.

A former police officer who responded to wrecks on these same Twin Cities roads, Dr. Mayfield has spent 31+ years helping Northeast Louisiana move without pain — and is qualified as an expert witness in motor-vehicle-accident cases.
Sciatica radiates because the problem is upstream — a disc pressing at L4, L5, or S1, the piriformis muscle clamping down, or spinal canal narrowing from years of Ouachita Parish's long commutes and physical work. We trace the compression, then build a plan that fits around your schedule.

From ULM students and Warhawk athletes to Graphic Packaging and hospital shift workers to anyone rear-ended on I-20 or US-165 — we know the loads, the hours, and the injuries Northeast Louisiana lives with.
Desk strain, backpack shoulders, and athletic injuries from a campus full of bodies in motion — care that works around class and practice.
Graphic Packaging, the hospitals, oilfield, and the trades wear on a spine. We schedule around real Monroe and West Monroe shifts.
Two of the busiest roads in NELA cross right here. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance and attorney side.

Sciatica produces a sharp, shooting, or burning pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg, sometimes reaching the foot. It is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body. Common causes include a herniated lumbar disc at L4, L5, or S1, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, and disc injuries from rear-end collisions on I-20 or US-165 in the Monroe–West Monroe corridor.
Yes. We accept most major plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare.

Our staff verifies your benefits before your first visit so there are no billing surprises.
Yes. A rear-end impact on I-20 or US-165 can herniate a lumbar disc, triggering sciatica days or even weeks after the crash. Dr. Gregory Mayfield — a former police officer who responded to wrecks on these same roads — treats auto-accident sciatica and works directly with your auto insurer and personal-injury attorney. In most cases you owe nothing out of pocket while your claim is pending. Call (318) 323-7246 for a same-day evaluation at our Monroe office at 1400 Royal Ave.
Many Monroe patients notice meaningful improvement within four to six visits. Acute disc-related sciatica often resolves in four to eight weeks of chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression. Chronic or recurrent cases may require a longer individualized plan. Dr. Mayfield explains the expected timeline at your first appointment at our Royal Ave office so you always know what to expect.
