D.C Griffin. Knows what she is doing. I have been treated by her for two years now for CCI. In short my top vertebra slips out of place and causes all kinds of terrible issues. She is a very skilled AO, able to adjust treatment as my neck heals and changes after each round of Stem cell treatments. She is an expert in neck problems for certain. Can't thank her enough for her help over the last couple years.

A serious auto accident that resulted in pins, plates and a few surgeries, combined with a physically demanding profession, has required maintenance to keep me functioning. Over the past 3 decades, I've been to a multitude of practitioners for a variety of modalities to minimize neck and back pain. Out of that multitude of chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage and physical therapists, very few have inspired me to leave a review. Dr. Griffin is the rare combination of knowledge, skill and a passion for what she does. Having just moved to the Des Moines area, I am deeply thankful to have found her! I am now feeling confident I'll be able to maintain my mobility and remain pain free with her expert care. If you're struggling, I highly recommend you schedule an appointment to find out how she can help.

I have been dealing with back pain and neck pain for many years and was told by my chiro at home that I just need to stretch and sent me on my way. I came to Precision Chiro West and Dr.Griffin really looked at my spine and my entire body as a whole and really wanted to do everything she could to make my entire body feel better not just my back. She is very thorough and you can tell truly loves what she does. I have already recommended her to people as it took me one adjustment to feel better. If you’re in the West Des Moines area, she’s the one to go to.

Dr Laurel literally saved my life. My life was just treating pain with meds from my neurologist and I was on disability. I hadn't felt human contact in 2 years and spent a lot of time in a wheelchair due to not being able to walk very well alone. After just one adjustment I was walking upright for the first time in 2 years and felt my mother's touch for the first time. I actually felt the texture of where I was standing. A LOT of crying years of joy happened! I would DEFINITELY recommend seeing her. I'm actually even considering finding a job!

So thankful for finding Dr. Griffin!

Dr. Laurel Griffin at Precision Chiropractic West is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, caring, and truly committed to her patients' well-being. The office is welcoming, and I’ve seen great improvements in my pain and mobility. Highly recommend!

I have suffered from chronic migraines, multiple times every week, for more than thirty years. The severity and intensity has increased in the past two years to where I'm in pain every day. The question was not if I will be in pain today but how much I would be in pain today. After someone mentioned to my wife about this place in Des Moines, where there was a specialist from the Chiropractic world that dealt with severe migraine cases, I was skeptical but figured I have nothing left to lose. I've seen so many specialist over the years with no success. What Dr. Griffin has done has been absolutely amazing. I can't remember the last time that I went without a migraine during a single day let alone a week and more. I feel like I have part of my life back and can do things that I haven't been able to do in very long time. I would never have thought that 1 bone in the neck could cause so many issues but I am now a firm believer in this procedure. There is no pain involved and she walks you through the process. She'll take the time to explain and answer any questions you may have. If you suffer from chronic and severe migraines, I would encourage you to reach out to Dr. Griffin and give her a chance to see if she can help you. For me, it has been a life changing event. Thank you so much, Doctor Griffin.

I do not know where I would be without Dr. Griffin and Staff. The only doctor that truly had a clue that my confused, concussion symptoms from a motorcycle accident are due to a upper cervical injury. I would not be on my road to recovery without Dr Griffin. You truly are a Saint! Thank you , Dr.Griffin and your entire staff!

The treatment I’ve received has been life changing. I have gone from more days during any given week with a migraine than without, and this had been going on for 20+ years. Thank you for restoring my quality of life!

Dr. Laurel is amazingly gifted and trained to help people with unusual constellations of symptoms that other professionals have been unable to help. Don’t settle for a life of “not feeling right”. Try getting your atlas in place with precision equipment. It can relieve fatigue, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, imbalance walking, nausea, etc. Nancy Johnson-Rose, D.O.

Dr.Griffen has been a life savior. I've had a headache for over 2 years and after 1 treatment I had relief. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me in my coming treatments. Thank you so much.

November 2024 -> I have had two (2) adjustments from Dr. Griffin thus far. I deeply slept (passed out) after the first one. The back pain I had for three years has almost gone away. My neck is no longer stiff. No more headaches. I'm in the process of reducing my nighttime pain meds. My thinking is clearing up. I believe I'm on the right path to recovery, thanks to my physical therapist's recommendation to try this. Thank you, Dr. Griffin.

Dr. Laurel is the best of the best! I love her so much that I drive 40 minutes for a visit!

Dr. Griffin is amazing. I highly recommend her for back, neck, vertigo, or headaches!

Dr Griffin is a wonderful doctor who listens and finds solutions for every situation. She has been my live saver for the past 4+ years!

I’ve seen Dr. Griffin for over two years. I have a history of cervical instability, a bad habit of cracking my neck, and elongated styloids with a diagnosis of Eagles Syndrome. I had surgery to remove my left styloid process in 2019, but it did not correct the painful episodes I experience. So I continued my search for help to address the pain. I was referred to Precision Chiropractic West by my dentist who is working to correct my bite and TMJD. I met with Dr. Griffin for an initial consultation and before agreeing to treat me, she ordered an MRI to make sure it was safe to adjust my neck because of my surgical history. I gained insightful information from this imaging that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Dr. Griffin provides thorough education on how atlas adjustments help the cervical spine and address ongoing pain in the body. When I first started treatment, I saw her regularly because I didn’t maintain the adjustments. It took my body time to adjust, and I also had to stop my neck-cracking habit. Once I stopped cracking my neck, I maintained her adjustments and I now only see her as needed. I was already in tune with my body when I first met Dr. Griffin, but I am now more educated and in tune with my cervical spine health. I can tell when I need an adjustment or when my muscles are tight and trying to throw me out of alignment. The atlas adjustments have helped me in my pain journey and I am grateful to have Dr. Griffin and her clinic as a tool and resource. I highly recommend you check her out for all your cervical spine needs!

She knows what she is doing! Is a bit pricey but would highly recommend if you have neck pain and headaches!

Dr Griffin has made a tremendous positive impact on my daughter’s life. Her experience and extended training are extremely rare and beneficial - we are so fortunate to have her in DSM!! Thank you Dr Griffin!!!

After a manual neck adjustment by a general chiropractor went awry (c1/c2 subluxation), a family member recommended I see Dr. Laurel Griffin who specializes in Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic. A much safer instrument “delivering 6 lbs. of percussive force to perform the adjustment and precisely realigning the atlas vertebra within its normal range of motion.” I was skeptical in the beginning, as I felt “no twisting, popping, or pain.” It seemed too simple and non invasive ……A simple “tap” on my atlas is all I felt. To say it was life changing is an understatement. After only one adjustment, my c1/c2 was realigned and continues to hold. I will never put myself at risk again by going to a general chiropractor when this much safer method is available. Lesson learned. Thankful to have found you Dr. Griffin!!! Thank you for performing miracles!

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 the complete relief I was looking for. I could see that my legs were similar in length now. I relocated due to my job. I kept up with stretching and the adjustments to my hips that I could do on my own despite moving away from the area. A few moths later I had complete relief to my surprise. The years of misalignment took longer than expected to bring the results but looking back that should’ve been expected. Im still without pain 3 years later. I never told Dr. Griffin about the results after I moved. Thank you Dr. Griffin!!

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.

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.
