Worth the Drive
Why Portales patients choose Leal Family Chiropractic
Portales is a hard-working farming and university town, and back pain doesn't wait for a convenient time. Whether you're working the fields, keeping up with the grandkids, or sitting through long days at ENMU, a herniated disc or a sciatica flare can bring everything to a stop. Dedicated spinal decompression simply isn't easy to find close to home, so patients from Portales make the trip to Muleshoe for it.
Our DRX 9000 gently decompresses the exact disc causing your pain, drawing it back into place and letting it heal without surgery or medication. For a lot of folks who've been told surgery is their only option, it's the conservative path they were hoping existed. Dr. Eli Leal takes the time to understand your situation and builds a plan around your life, not a one-size-fits-all package.

- $57 new-patient exam, X-rays & therapy included
- Non-surgical, drug-free care so you can avoid surgery and downtime

Why It Happens
The back pain we see around Portales
Around Portales, the back pain we treat often traces back to the work this community is built on: peanut and dairy operations, long days on a tractor or in a feed truck, and the heavy lifting that farm and ranch life demands. That kind of repetitive strain is exactly what wears a disc down over the years. For students and staff at Eastern New Mexico University, it's more often the opposite problem, with long hours hunched at a desk slowly stiffening up the lower back and neck.
We see patients from across Roosevelt County: farmers and ranchers, Eastern New Mexico University students and staff, retirees, and busy parents. If you've been driving to Clovis or further for back care, our Muleshoe clinic is a straightforward trip up US-84, and the one-on-one attention is something patients tell us they don't get anywhere else.
Making your first visit worth it: Since Portales is the better part of an hour out, we make your first visit thorough and worthwhile. The $57 new-patient appointment includes a full exam, digital X-rays, an adjustment, and therapy, so you go home with answers, not just another referral. If decompression is right for you, we'll map out a schedule that makes the drive manageable.

Portales Patient Questions
Coming from Portales? Start here
How far is Leal Family Chiropractic from Portales, NM?
It's roughly a 50-minute drive. Take US-70 to Clovis and then US-84 east to Muleshoe. We're at 1106 W American Blvd, next to Leal's Restaurant. Plenty of our patients make the trip from Portales and say it's well worth it.
I work on a farm and can't take much time off. How long are visits?
We get it, this is farm and ranch country. A DRX 9000 session runs about 20 to 30 minutes, and we'll build a schedule that respects your work. Many patients come in before or between the demands of the day and still see real progress over four to six weeks.
Can spinal decompression help if I've already seen a chiropractor in Portales?
Often, yes. The DRX 9000 is a specialized, FDA-cleared decompression system that does something a standard adjustment or traction table can't: it isolates and decompresses the specific disc causing your pain. If past care helped but didn't last, this is worth a conversation.
Do you treat students from ENMU?
Yes, and we see a fair number of them. Long study sessions and desk work are tough on a young spine, and we treat everything from everyday back and neck stiffness to disc problems. The $57 first visit makes getting checked out affordable on a student budget.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring a photo ID, any recent imaging you have (X-rays or MRI reports), and a list of your current medications. Wear comfortable clothes and plan for about an hour so we have time for a thorough exam and your first treatment.
