Active Release Techniques (ART) is a breakthrough in the treatment of injury and provides permanent pain relief. ART can help you possibly avoid surgery. When you injure yourself your body tries to support itself by laying down scar tissue.

This makes the area very tender and tight. At Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy, we take care to provide our patients high quality new services personalized for their unique needs. Our staff members are professional, courteous and efficient. We treat patients of all ages! The Shreveport office offers all of the convenience you will need as we are a state of the art facility in a great location!

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. :)

From the moment you walk in the receptionist are welcoming they know who you are when you walk in the door... The place is super clean the music makes you feel like you in a gym working out. Dr Bates is great he listens to you. Oh & he gives “homework” at home exercises he explains them even if that means getting on floor to show you how I recommend this office & Dr to EVERYONE!!!! His whole team is AWESOME!!!!

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

Bates is THE BOMB! They let me schedule appointments via FB messenger! They have squeezed me in on short notice when I’ve injured myself with serious pain! They are always friendly and the new facility is awesome! My right hip and I are so grateful for Bates Chiropractic!

Dr. Bates is amazing. Best skills, knowledge, and diagnosis in the profession. I am involved in the film industry and I know of numerous people who frequent his office while they are in Shreveport. Wish he was in Hollywood! He can pretty much fix anything. You will love him and his treatments!

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
