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 I-20 commutes and physical work near Richwood. We trace the compression, then build a plan that fits around your schedule.

From the families and workers just south of Monroe to anyone caught in the I-20 and US-165 stack-ups nearby — we know the commutes, the shift work, and the wrecks this stretch lives with.
Standing, lifting, and rotating shifts wear on a back fast. We schedule around real hours and get you relief that lasts.
Richwood sits where two busy roads meet. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance and attorney side.
Ten minutes up the road means easy follow-ups — no missing a whole afternoon to get your spine right.

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 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 at the I-20 and US-165 junction near Richwood.

Yes. A collision at the I-20 and US-165 interchange — one of the busiest intersections in the Richwood area — can herniate a lumbar disc and trigger sciatica days or 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 1400 Royal Ave, Monroe, just 10 minutes up US-165.
Many 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 so you always know what to expect.
