A stiff lower back after a long day on the farm, a disc that flared up hauling equipment, or aching from hours behind the wheel on rural roads — Dr. Gregory Mayfield has treated east Ouachita for 31+ years from our Monroe office, about 15 minutes up Highway 139.

Swartz patients are about 15 minutes from our Monroe office on Royal Ave, straight in off Highway 139 — same-day slots so country distance never means a long 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 Swartz tends to build up from the same heavy, hands-on work that east Ouachita runs on — farm loads, equipment operation, long rural drives. We identify whether it is a disc, a joint, or soft tissue, then build a plan that lets you get back to work.

From farm and rig work to the families spread across east Ouachita off Highway 139 — we know the heavy, hands-on loads and the long rural drives that wear on a spine out here.
Lifting, hauling, and equipment all day is hard on a back. We treat the cause and keep working folks working.
Long stretches behind the wheel stiffen up necks and lower backs. We sort out the posture and travel loads.
Rural two-lanes bring their own collisions. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance side.

Swartz residents often develop back pain from farm work, lifting hay or equipment, oil and gas field labor, and long stretches behind the wheel on rural Highway 139 roads. These repeated heavy loads strain lumbar discs and facet joints. Herniated discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 are especially common in workers who lift and twist repeatedly.
Yes. We accept most major plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare. We also handle workers compensation claims for on-the-job injuries and auto-injury claims — often with no upfront cost to you. Our staff verifies your coverage before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Dr. Gregory Mayfield will take a full history, perform a physical and orthopedic examination, and identify whether the pain is coming from a disc, muscle, joint, or nerve. You will receive a plain-language explanation of the findings and a clear treatment plan with an honest timeline. Many Swartz patients begin treatment the same day.
Many patients notice real improvement within four to six visits. Acute back strains often resolve in two to four weeks. Disc-related pain or chronic conditions built up over years of farm or rig work may take longer. Dr. Mayfield explains the expected timeline at your first appointment at 1400 Royal Ave, Monroe.
