The Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Adjusting Instrument uses 6 lbs. of percussive force to perform the adjustment and precisely realign the atlas vertebra within its normal range of motion. This means you will feel no twist, pop, or pain while the adjustment takes place.

President - Elect and member of multiple committees at Timber Ridge Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization, Johnston, IA. Dr. Laurel Griffin was born and raised in Clinton, IA.

Dr. Griffin chose the Des Moines area because of its opportunity, comfort, friendliness, and vibrancy.
Amazing recovery from fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, social anxiety, memory problems, fatigue and more. My shoulders burn and ache to no end. Often they seem to "catch" as I turn my head; my neck usually does the same. My lower back burns and pops, aching as I sit in the car or walk down the hallway at school.

A few years ago, supplement brands sold in stores like Walgreens, HyVee, Walmart, etc. came under fire for containing little to of the ingredients on their label.

If you have chronic symptoms and skeptical of chiropractic, I strongly encourage you to put that aside at least once and give this gentle yet effective method a try.
I have been seeing Dr. Griffin for a few weeks now and it has changed my life. I've been seeing many chiropractors throughout the last years after a big surgery for ovarian cancer due to chronic back pain. I switched to Dr. Griffin and noticed an immediate difference in the adjustment. I no longer have the back pain. This gentle form of chiropractic is fantastic! I couldn't be more grateful.

I suffered from low back pain at a young age, 30s. I was healthy and very active. I had been dealing with it for around 7 years. I tried the regular adjustments at other chiropractic offices and other exercises/stretches to no avail. I avoided epidural injections because I wanted the root issue fixed not a cover-up of symptoms.
I self-diagnosed myself with leg length discrepancy. Im in the medical field and besides, it was obvious. That led me to atlas adjustments. Thats how I found Precision Chiropractic West and Dr. Laurel Griffin.
After a few months of adjustments I had some relief but not

Dr. Laurel is amazing. She is passionate about her work as well as helping her patients. I went for a visit from a recommendation because of my migraines. It has been life changing for me. I no longer have daily headaches either. I had taken several different migraine medicines and nothing touched it. If you suffer from migraines, I encourage you to visit Dr. Laurel.

While she is extremely good at what she does, she does not take insurance so the average person can not afford to go see here. Yes you can submit a claim to your insurance company but if it is accepted it will go against your deductible and with those being high for everyone you will not get any refund. I suffer from neck pain and headaches and would love to see her but can't afford it due to her not accepting insurance. If she truly cared to help people she would work with the insurance company's and go In network so she could treat more people but like everything else it's just about the money

I have been to many Chiropractors over the years, but since finding Dr. Laurel (I was her 13th new patient) I haven't even thought of looking any more. She fixes my problems, without any cracking or popping, and her adjustments last longer than any of the others! I have and will continue to recommend her.

I have known Dr Laurel for over 10 years. She is very passionate about her work and her patients. The technique she uses is extremely specific and extremely low force. My migraine headaches that I suffered for 25 years were gone using this technique. I highly recommend this Doctor, if you are looking for one of the Best Doctors in the World!!!

Dr Laurel has tremendous passion for her work. She strives to deliver the highest quality of care for her clients. She is one of a few hundred doctors in the world board certified to perform the Atlas Orthogonal technique. Without doubt I'd recommend Dr Laurel to treat the most advanced spinal cases.

I have felt better than I have in years after going to see Dr. Griffin. I had been suffering from almost daily headaches for over a year. After several sessions with Dr. Griffin, my headaches were completely gone. The method that she uses is different than traditional chiropractic methods of manipulation/cracking and it's more effective. After doing a series of x-rays to determine what's out of alignment, a very precise and unobtrusive method is used to re-align. You can tell that Dr. Griffin cares about how you are feeling and is working on your side to get you well. While this method is not as

I was suffering with headaches, vertigo, sinus like pressure, and a stiff neck that had started out affecting me only a couple days a month but soon became everyday. It was all I could do just to make it through the workday. I would go home and do as little as possible and go to bed hoping the next morning I would wake up feeling better. I had seen several doctors and tried multiple medications to no avail. After a few months of this it was recommended to me to see an Atlas Orthogonal Doctor. I found Dr. Griffin and scheduled an appointment. The day after my first adjustment with her I woke up

If you don't like hearing joints pop then the this is the Chiropractor for you. The doctor is very knowledgeable in the field and reasonably priced. I have just started and I'm already feeling the results. Only downside are the office hours... limited appointment space so get in early and set appointments out as tar as you can.
