Neck pain and stiffness after a crash on the I-20 bridge or US-80? Whiplash symptoms often hide for 24-72 hours and then hit hard. Dr. Gregory Mayfield — a former police officer who worked these same roads for 6.5 years — has treated cervical injuries for 31+ years at our Monroe office on Royal Ave, just minutes from West Monroe.

West Monroe patients are minutes from our Monroe office on Royal Ave — straight over the river. A second Mayfield location sits in Shreveport if you're ever out west.

A former police officer who responded to wrecks on these same Twin Cities 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.
Whiplash is a rapid flexion-extension injury that strains muscles and ligaments, compresses cervical discs, and irritates facet joints — all at once. We treat the mechanics, not just the pain: careful adjustments, targeted soft-tissue work, and exercises that restore range of motion without re-stressing healing tissue.

From Antique Alley shop owners and oilfield crews to Rebels athletes and anyone rear-ended on the I-20 bridge — we know the loads, the hours, and the injuries this side of the river lives with.
Small-business owners on their feet all day in the shops and restaurants downtown — care that fits between the open and close signs.
Rig work, welding, and the trades are hard on a spine. We schedule around rotations and get crews back to work, not just out the door.
The Monroe–West Monroe bridge stacks up fast. We treat whiplash & disc injuries and handle the insurance and attorney side.

It is minutes across the Ouachita River from West Monroe, open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Same-day slots are held for accident patients so you can be evaluated the same day as your I-20 or US-80 crash.
Whiplash symptoms frequently do not appear until 24 to 72 hours after the collision — sometimes longer. The adrenaline from the crash masks pain signals. Neck stiffness, headaches starting at the base of the skull, dizziness, and shoulder pain often emerge the morning after a rear-end impact on I-20 or the Monroe-West Monroe bridge. Getting evaluated the same day as your accident, even if you feel fine, protects both your health and your insurance claim.

Treatment begins with a thorough orthopedic and neurological examination and injury documentation suitable for insurance and legal use. Dr. Mayfield then uses gentle cervical adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, soft-tissue therapy to reduce muscle spasm, therapeutic exercises to rebuild strength, and spinal decompression when disc involvement is present. Most patients with mild to moderate whiplash see significant improvement within 6 to 12 weeks.
