Fantastic experience: These guys are outstanding!
Fantastic experience: I was in a car accident that caused pain in my back and I feel better than before! Dr. Bates was amazing! Highly recommend!
Negative experience: May be a good chiropractor but I’ll never know. Messaged them as a new to the area potential customer with a serious issue that needs urgent attention and they told me they were all booked for the week. If you need help quick don’t waste your time
Fantastic experience: Competent, professional, friendly and energetic. Perfect combo! My go to with whatever ails me!! Love all of y’all ⚜️
Fantastic experience: Best chiropractor in the area, has helped my daughter heal whenever the dr couldn't knows his business gets right to the root of the problem and fixes it!
Fantastic experience: They were very nice and caring.
Fantastic experience: Miracle workers!!! Staff and Chiropractors
Fantastic experience: These guys are AWESOME. Dr Duncan has done wonders with my lower back pain and sciatica. It was KILLING ME so I was skeptical at first…I’m now a 100% believer in the therapy. Highly recommend these guys.
Negative experience: You 100% do not want to go to this unprofessional and bigot place. They are not friendly and even with an appointment you're treated with disrespect and they look at you as if you're dirty. I immediately walked out after they treated everyone before me and those that came after me and saw another Dr the same day at a real hospital. The office is strangely designed and small and they want you to have the allusion that they treat all of these athletes but I only saw old white woman coming in wearing small tennis skirts so you do the math!!!
Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Bates. Being new in town, I left my favorite chiropractor in California. Your back and neck are something you don’t want just anyone working on, but Dr. Bates is awesome. They take insurance, so my copay is around $50, but I feel like Dr. Bates listens and takes his time to get to fix the problem. I feel very comfortable with him and I’ve seen him care for clients both young and older. I highly recommend his office.
My guy! Now you can break every record on Peleton! See you soon

Fantastic experience: Superb service. Always pleasant experience. Kind thanks.

Fantastic experience: The best! As a former D1 athlete who is now a 50+ year-old weekend warrior, I was blown away by the treatment here. It takes me back to my days with the team trainers who could fix just about anything aching on my body. Dr. Bates is amazing and has got me back on my feet and ready to face some more playing time. He was recommended to me by multiple people and I think he takes care of nearly everyone in the area who plays a sport whether in high school, college, or the golden years. :)
Fantastic experience: The best chiropractors in town! Nicest staff and a beautiful building. This clinic is something very special.

Fantastic experience: Guys...If you are looking for results, this is your place. Have fitness goals? See Eddie (the best trainer in the city) Pain or mobility issues? See Dr. Bates or Dr. Duncan. Erin and Kelsy in the front are always helpful, patient, and kind. This place has truly brought me to the next level as far as my overall health. Note: If the sign in the lobby is red, Eddie is giving someone the business he is training. #results
Fantastic experience: I don’t normally post reviews, but Dr. Bates is by far the best Chiropractor I have ever seen. His practice is top notch and I recommend to everyone with back issues to give him a try you won’t regret it.
Thanks. Glad we got you fixed up.
Fantastic experience: They are great! Very professional and caring. They do many alternative techniques.
Fantastic experience: Best sports place around. They got Bug's back better.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad we could help.
Fantastic experience: I found Bates Chiropractic & Sports Therapy on a Google search. I was having trouble turning my head due to neck pain. After several visits with Dr. Duncan, that pain and other pain I had, was MUCH better! I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I see Dr. Williams. And after having a baby & getting back into my exercise routine, my body has been out of sorts. He’s helped me with my hips, knees, neck and my arthritic toe. He’s very friendly & fun to talk with. I enjoy all the staff.
Thank you for review. I am pretty sure you meant. Dr. William Duncan. Congrats on the baby! We will keep you feeling good!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Dr. Bates, and he’s helped me get back to running and doing the sport I love most!!
Thanks. You are awesome. Wish we were as fast as you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bates and Dr. Duncan are great. Had me back to normal in no time. They have new techniques that made this the best Chiropractic experience I have ever had.
You are the man! Thanks for trusting us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Great environment with a caring and friendly staff. I run and do triathlons so injury is common but I’ve never had an issue he couldn’t correct. In my opinion they are the best in town and I would highly recommend them!
Thank you for kind words! When we going to race?
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bates is professional and caring! I recommend him to everyone I know. Go see him, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for the great review! We love taking care of you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bates is by far the best chiropractor in the business. I travel a lot for work and happened to find myself having some back issues while in Shreveport for a meeting. I looked up local chiropractors and was blown away by all the great reviews his clinic had so I though why not check them out. I was completely blown away by his professionalism and how quickly he pinpointied exactly what was causing my back issues. I seriously walked out feeling like a new man that day! I now routinely fly from Boulder, CO where I live to seek the absolute best treatment from Dr. Bates and his amazing staff!! If you have not been to his clinic to experience the vast knowledge and healing power this guy has then you are truly missing out. Do yourself a favor like I did and go see them if you have any back or sports related issues, the results they achieve more than speak for themselves!!! Thanks again Dr. Bates! Sincerely, Kyle - “Your longest commuting customer for life”
Thank you! We will continue to strive to give you top notch care!
Fantastic experience: I cant say enough about Dr. Bates & the great work he has done. I highly recommend his services!
Thank you! We love making sure you stay pain free!
Fantastic experience: Anytime I get a pain or my back gets tight from working out of a truck a lot Dr. Bates always gets me back to relief and back to %100!! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
We are so happy we can help you! Thank you and see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I have a muscle disease from birth that also caused a nerve damage disease. Dr Bates and his staff are great! He has given me the relief from the pain that others doctors said I couldn’t get without meds! I have and will continue to refer friends!
Thank you! Thanks for being so tough and setting great examples for others
Fantastic experience: I used to have my doubts about Chiropractors. But I had never been to one until I had pain in my back that was so bad I had to stop numerous times in the middle of a mountain bike (mtb) race in 2013. So, I decided it was time to get help. Dr. Bates was highly recommended by numerous friends that were both athletes and non-athletes. He has always been able to relieve my pain every time. Anything from a mtb wreck to a trail running disaster to a house remodel gone wrong to a regular crick in the neck. My teenage daughter has curvature of the spine and I have been taking her as well on a regular basis. Not only has it not progressed, but it decreased. I have also taken her for growing pains in which she greatly benefited. I highly recommend Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy to anyone who is looking for pain relief no matter the cause or location of the pain. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you! Patients like you is why our office loves coming to work!
Fantastic experience: I am a police officer and athlete who pushes my abilities to the limits.. I saw Dr. Bates as a last ditch effort to address shin splits I had been having after years of running. Two visits later, they were like I never had them in the first place. That was nearly 4yrs ago. Since then I have had him work on my neck, back, calves, shoulders, and feet. Each and every visit had great results.. I have referred no less than 75 people to him. Being the only ART specialist within 2-300 miles, I don't know where I'd be without his treatment..
Thank you! Also thank you for caring and protecting our city! We are honored to help and support the Shreveport police.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional care! Have trusted for many years and highly recommend. My issues have always been resolved within a minimum number of visits and I always feel so much better when I leave. (And no, we’re not related, lol) No complaints whatsoever.
Thank you! Always a pleasure to see you in our office!
Fantastic experience: Over the years Dr. Bates has been the single best chiropractor and active release therapist that I could find in Shreveport. His acquired skills, experience, and education are evident the entire time he works with you. I have consistently gone in with injuries that I did not think a short visit could fix, only to come away feeling better every time. Active release therapy is a life saver for people who train or play sports, but it has to be done well and with care. Dr. Bates always explains what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is direct and straight forward, and the thing I always appreciated most as an elite triathlete was a straight answer and evaluation. No false hope, just honesty. I found his professional opinion to be one that I could consistently trust, as much I could depend on the results of his work. If I, or someone I know has musculoskeletal pain then this is the only place to go. I can't even give a second best choice, because it only makes sense to go with the best option when you are dealing with the only body you have. Just make appointments in advance because he is no secret here in town.
Thank you! Means a lot coming from an athlete as respected as you!
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Dr. Bates for going on five years now and I have never left unsatisfied. He is always Professional and provides the utmost chiropractic care That other chiropractors Can only dream of providing. He stays up to date with the most efficient and effective continuing education techniques that other chiropractors I have visited in and out of the state cannot provide. Immediate relief every time I go.
Thank you! Glad you moved back to Louisiana! Don't go far away again!
Fantastic experience: Bates Chiropractic is the BEST in the business in chiropractic and sports therapy. I’ve been seeing Dr. Bates for several years now and he has certainly helped keep me performing at a high level in my professional duties as well as athletics.
Thank you for your service to our community. We will continue to give you the best.
Negative experience: Dr. Bates was uncaring and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place.
We take these matters very seriously. However, we have no record or recollection of any customer experience fitting your story and description, nor can we verify anything about your identity from your Google+ account, which appears to have just been created for the purpose of disparaging our clinic
Fantastic experience: I was Dr. Bates' patient several years ago. He helped so much, and took time to explain what was happening. He knew I came in from quite a distance, so even spent extra time and gave exercises I could do to keep me going till the next visit. Most chiropractic work helps me for a few days; with Dr. Bates, I felt good for 3-4 weeks! He gave back my mobility in my knees and neck. I have since moved back to Canada, and I really miss his care!
Jennifer, we miss you so much at our clinic. Hope life is treating you well. Thank you for your review. Hope you make it back to Shreveport soon!
