Get to know Chiropractor Dr. LaBentria Ford, who serves patients in Amite City, Louisiana.

A devoted chiropractor, Dr. LaBentria Ford, affectionately known as Dr. Bee, tends to patients at The Culminating Experience Chiropractic Clinic in Amite City, Louisiana. Through chiropractic care, Dr. Bee treats a variety of patients including pregnant women, elderly, children and personal injury. She welcomes all patients because she believes that everyone can benefit from chiropractic care no matter their age. She is also committed to educating the community about spinal health and wellness and has been a speaker at many community outreach programs.

Born in Independence and raised in Montpelier, Louisiana, she did not grow up with the expectation of becoming a chiropractor yet the experiences throughout her life brought her to the crossroads of becoming a chiropractic physician. After graduating from Amite High School in 2003, she attended the Xavier University of Louisiana, where she pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Upon graduating from Xavier University in 2007, Dr. Bee enrolled at Tulane University School of Public Health where she obtained her Master of Public Health degree in 2008. She then went on to continue her education at Life University, where she participated in several clubs and technique classes, and received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2012. She is board-certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and state licensed in both Louisiana and Georgia.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Bee is an ordained minister who enjoys spreading the “Gospel” to all. She also enjoys singing, traveling and spending time with her husband and son.
