Beyond Standard Atlas Orthogonal: The Authority-Healer Model

Many patients come to us because standard chiropractic—and even standard Atlas Orthogonal (AO) care—was not enough. Dr. Laurel Griffin offers a level of expertise that sets this practice apart from the rest of the upper cervical world. While she holds the rare Board Certification in the Atlas Orthogonal Technique (BCAO)—making her one of approximately 375 doctors worldwide with this distinction—her qualifications go much further.

The Rosa-Trained Advantage

Dr. Griffin operates outside the standard AO market. She is one of a handful of doctors worldwide to train extensively, one-on-one, with the renowned Dr. Scott Rosa (pioneer of Image-Guided Atlas Treatment™) since 2017. Because of this direct lineage, Dr. Griffin possesses extensive post-graduate training in critical, high-stakes areas that most general chiropractors do not touch:

• Head & Neck Trauma
• Advanced Imaging (MRI & DMX interpretation)
• Advanced Biomechanics
• Risk Management
• Complex Case Management

Dr. Griffin does not just practice these advanced methods; she teaches them. She actively mentors and trains other AO doctors in risk management and the handling of complex cases. When you choose Precision Chiropractic West, you are not just seeing a chiropractor; you are seeing the teacher.

The “No Guesswork” Diagnostic Advantage

For the most precise treatment, you need the most precise diagnosis. Many of our patients arrive frustrated because their static MRIs, CT scans, and X-rays came back “normal,” yet they are still in severe pain. Static imaging often misses the problem because your life doesn’t happen in a static position.

We hold a state-level monopoly on the most advanced diagnostic tool available for soft tissue injury: DMX of Iowa. We are the only provider in the state with Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) technology.

Irrefutable Proof: DMX is a video X-ray that records your spine in real-time motion. It allows us to visualize ligamentous instability and injury that static scanners miss. We validate the specific problem with objective, visual data before any correction is made. We don’t guess. We know.

Who We Help: The Pursuit of a Definitive Solution

Our practice attracts patients from across Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, and beyond who require a higher standard of care. Our non-insurance model ensures that your care plan is dictated solely by your clinical needs, not by an insurance adjuster’s spreadsheet.

1. The Complex Patient

If you are suffering from Chronic Migraines, Vertigo/Dizziness, Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Post-Concussion Syndrome, or Fibromyalgia, and have been told “nothing is wrong” by other providers, you likely have a biomechanical issue that has not yet been properly imaged or treated. We specialize in the “worst of the worst” cases that require Dr. Griffin’s advanced risk management and biomechanical training.

2. The Quality-Focused Patient

You do not have to be a complex case to deserve elite care. Many of our patients simply want to avoid the “pop, twist, and crack” of general chiropractic. They choose us because they want a gentle, precise, instrument-based correction that is verified by imaging.

The Treatment: Precision, Safety, and Correction

We utilize the Atlas Orthogonal (AO) Percussion Instrument to deliver a low-force, precise adjustment. There is no twisting, no popping, and no pain.

Correction vs. Maintenance: Our goal is not to have you come back for the rest of your life for “maintenance” adjustments. Our goal is Correction. We want to fix the underlying instability so your body heals and holds its alignment.

Risk Management: Because of Dr. Griffin’s advanced training in trauma and risk management, we know exactly when to adjust and, just as importantly, when not to adjust.

If you are ready for a definitive solution based on objective evidence and led by one of the field’s most highly trained specialists, welcome to Precision Chiropractic West.
