Locked up in the morning, aching through your shift, waking up at 2 a.m.? Dr. Gregory Mayfield has treated Northeast Louisiana spines for 31+ years. Our Monroe office is 15 minutes south on US-165 — same-day slots so the drive is the only wait.

Sterlington patients are about 15 minutes south on US-165 from our Monroe office on Royal Ave — easy in, easy out, with same-day slots so the drive is the only wait.

A former police officer who responded to wrecks on these same 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.
Back pain in Sterlington comes with the territory — US-165 commutes tighten lumbar discs, Panther practices strain young spines, and Bayou DeSiard weekends pull backs sideways. We find the structural cause and build a plan around your real life, not a generic protocol.

From Bayou DeSiard lake life and Panther athletes to the families filling north Ouachita's fastest-growing town — we know the loads, the sports, and the I-165 commutes Sterlington lives with.
A football town. We treat youth and high-school athletes and build smart return-to-play plans, not just quick fixes.
Bayou DeSiard boats, docks, and yard work pull backs and shoulders. We get weekend warriors moving again.
Daily runs to Monroe mean long sits and the occasional fender-bender. We treat the posture loads and the wrecks.

For Sterlington patients we most often see lower back pain from lumbar strain, herniated or bulging discs at L4-L5 or L5-S1, degenerative disc disease from long daily US-165 commutes, and acute injuries from Bayou DeSiard recreational activities or Panther athletics. Work-related lifting injuries and auto accidents on US-165 are also frequent causes.
Yes. We accept most major plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare. We also handle auto-injury claims — often with no upfront cost — and accept VA benefits for eligible veterans in north Ouachita Parish. Our staff verifies your benefits before your first visit so there are no billing surprises.
Dr. Gregory Mayfield uses precise spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment, spinal decompression therapy to take pressure off herniated discs, and targeted soft-tissue work to release muscle spasm. This combination addresses the structural cause of back pain rather than masking symptoms with medication, allowing most patients to avoid surgery entirely.
Many Sterlington patients experience meaningful improvement within four to eight visits. Acute lumbar strain often resolves in three to six weeks. Disc injuries and chronic degeneration may need a longer plan. Dr. Mayfield explains the full expected timeline at your first appointment at our Monroe office, 1400 Royal Ave — about 15 minutes down US-165.
