Care that finds the nerve, not just the pain.
Sciatica radiates because the problem is upstream — a disc pressing at L4, L5, or S1, the piriformis clamping down, or spinal canal narrowing from years of farm loads and equipment operation along Highway 139. We trace the compression and build a plan around your schedule.
Built for Swartz.
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.
Farm & rig work
Lifting, hauling, and equipment all day is hard on a back. We treat the cause and keep working folks working.
Country drives
Long stretches behind the wheel stiffen up necks and lower backs. We sort out the posture and travel loads.
Hwy 139 wrecks
Rural two-lanes bring their own collisions. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance side.

Where is the Monroe office and how do Swartz patients get there?
Our Monroe office is at 1400 Royal Ave, Monroe, LA 71201. Swartz patients are about 15 minutes away via Highway 139 heading into Monroe. Call (318) 323-7246 — we keep same-day slots available so the only wait is the drive.
What causes sciatica and what does it feel like?
Sciatica is sharp, shooting, or burning pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg, sometimes reaching the foot or causing numbness. It happens when a disc at L4, L5, or S1 compresses the sciatic nerve — common in Swartz after years of farm work, heavy equipment operation, or rural driving on rough roads.
Does insurance cover sciatica care at your Monroe office?
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 Ouachita Parish. Our staff verifies your benefits before your first visit.
What can I expect at my first sciatica appointment?
Dr. Gregory Mayfield will review your history, perform orthopedic and neurological tests to locate the compressed disc or nerve, and explain exactly what is happening and why. You will leave with a clear treatment plan and a realistic timeline. Many Swartz patients start gentle adjustments on the very first visit.
How long does sciatica treatment take for farm and rig workers from Swartz?
Acute sciatica from a single incident typically improves in four to eight weeks of chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression. Chronic sciatica built up from years of lifting and heavy equipment on Swartz farms or oil rigs may need a longer individualized plan. Dr. Mayfield outlines the timeline at your first visit at our Monroe Royal Ave office.
