Adjustments scaled to the child, not the condition.
A newborn's spine is nothing like a teenager's. We match technique to age and size — fingertip contact for infants, progressively firmer light-pressure work as children grow. Shreveport kids carry heavy backpacks, play contact sports, and spend hours on screens; Bossier and Barksdale families know how physically demanding childhood actually is. We address the structural stress before it becomes a long-term problem.
Built for the Ark-La-Tex.
From Barksdale families and Bossier shift workers to anyone rear-ended on I-20 or I-49 — we know the loads, the schedules, and the injuries this corner of Louisiana lives with.
Barksdale & military
Active-duty, retirees, and families — heavy gear, long shifts, and TRICARE-friendly chiropractic care.
Bossier & casinos
Standing all night on a casino floor or a warehouse line wears on a back. We work around overnight and rotating shifts.
I-20 & I-49 wrecks
Shreveport sits where two interstates cross. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance and attorney side.

Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are extremely gentle and tailored to each child's age and size. For infants, the pressure used is no more than you would use to test a ripe piece of fruit — a light fingertip contact, not the firmer force used in adult adjustments. Dr. Gregory Mayfield has 31+ years of experience adjusting patients of all ages, including newborns. Many Shreveport-area pediatricians and family physicians are comfortable with parents seeking chiropractic care for their children.
At what age can a child first see a chiropractor?
Children can be evaluated at any age, including newborns. Many Bossier City and Barksdale families bring infants in shortly after birth, especially when delivery involved forcep use, vacuum extraction, or a prolonged labor that could stress the baby's neck and upper spine. Gentle adjustments at this stage can address feeding difficulties, colic, and sleep disruption.
What conditions in children does chiropractic care address?
Common reasons Shreveport parents bring their children to Mayfield Chiropractic include: colic and reflux in infants, ear infection frequency, growing pains, headaches, posture problems from heavy backpacks and screen time, sports injuries, and spinal issues related to growth spurts. Chiropractic does not treat these conditions directly but supports the nervous system and spinal alignment that underlies healthy development.
Does insurance cover pediatric chiropractic care at your Shreveport office?
Most health insurance plans that include chiropractic benefits cover children under the same policy as adults. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare (for qualifying family members), and TRICARE for Barksdale AFB families. Our staff verifies your child's specific benefits before the first visit. Call (318) 828-1517 for a quick coverage check.
