~ Dr. Laurel Griffin



I have been dealing with random vertigo and weakness, fatigue spells for over 13 years. I would have bouts of 5-6 months of continuous, everyday vertigo that would leave be bedridden and unable to function at all (These attacks would last hours and sometimes even days). After several doctors, clinics, tests, labs, and trips to large city hospitals, I was left to deal with it with no answers, no medication that relieved symptoms, and basically no hope that I’d lead any sort of functioning life moving forward. Most recently, after the birth of my 2nd son, I began having daily spells again. For 2 months, I suffered through and visited a few more doctors to no avail. Again, I succumbed to the idea of this being my new normal. Sadness that I wouldn’t be able to play with my 2 young boys, or drive anywhere on my own, or even get outside for a walk without fear of a spell hitting. Someone recommended I check out Dr. Griffin’s page via facebook. At 11:30 at night, I sent a request for an appointment and was seen within a couple of days.
The day of my first treatment, I suffered a spell right before I was supposed to go. I found and a ride and made it to my appointment. Within minutes, I felt relief and was able to continue about my day. I have been seen Dr. Griffin for 2 weeks and have had only 1 attack since then. The attack this time around lasted only about 30 minutes and was much less severe.
I will never be able to tell you how grateful I am for what she has done. While I may never get rid of the spells 100%, the fact that they are minimal and I can still continue my daily routines is such a gift!
Dr. Laurel is compassionate and truly cares how you are feeling and wants to help you improve. I’ve never one time felt as though she was just a “doctor” working her job. She truly wants you to improve and feel better!
Jen at the front desk is fabulous and friendly and always welcomes you with a smile!
The pain in my shoulders and back is something that I have become accustomed to throughout the years. I honestly started to get used to the pain. I also suffer from anxiety and allergies, which cause me to feel fatigued, exhausted, and worn out. I have never gotten a chiropractic adjustment before seeing Dr. Laurel. After the first atlas orthogonal treatment, the pain was almost entirely gone! After one treatment, I was much more in tune and aware of my body. I felt that my body was finally able to get some relief from the pain it was carrying around for so long. After multiple treatments, I am much more calm, relaxed, and I have a new sense of ease within my body. My energy no longer goes to dealing with pain, which feels like a huge weight lifted off of me. My allergies are also much better. I used to have days when I would have allergy attacks and I do not have those days anymore. I also sneeze and blow my nose less often. My anxiety has lessened significantly as well, which provides me with more energy to put toward other things in my life. I practice yoga weekly and after seeing Dr. Laurel, my practice is much easier. I believe the health of my spine has benefited my yoga practice significantly. I am so grateful for Dr. Laurel and the treatment she provides. There is no other treatment that I have tried that has given me the results that Dr. Laurel and Atlas Orthogonal treatments have provided me. It has truly provided me with the health and well-being that I have been searching for.
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 widely used in the chiropractic field, I truly believe it’s the most effective in getting the spine aligned and the body healthy.
I have never had a chiropractor be able to stop one of my headaches when I’m in the middle of it, but Dr Griffin did–without “popping” or cracking. The Atlas Orthogonal technique is painless, and has zero negative side effects, unlike the numerous medications I’ve had to take over the years to treat my migraines. My migraines have dramatically decreased and Dr Griffin has continued to be patient and thorough with my treatment plan. She is genuinely interested in total healing and I’m very thankful that I found Dr Griffin’s clinic.

Then I saw Precession Chiropractic online ad and decided to give it a try. I’ve never used chiropractor’s help before and I guess I’m lucky my first adjustment ever was done by Dr. Griffin. At first I was skeptical but after a week or two I noticed my pain went away. After a 3 month treatment plan I can say that it was one of the best decisions related to my health I could make . Now I go to the gym without the anticipation of pain and wake up as cool as a cucumber.”

I have spent the last couple of years with fatigue and low stamina which progressed to twitchy nerves and muscles, confusion, light headedness, sensitivity to sharp sounds, disrupted sleep, loss of appetite and weight loss, neck and back aches, stiff joints, tingly feelings in my extremities, as well as other symptoms. The symptoms were so bad that I had to go to the Emergency Room twice.
As I had always been healthy and very active, these symptoms upset me very much, so much so that my primary doctor prescribed anti-anxiety medication until he could figure out a diagnosis. Meanwhile just normal everyday activities were difficult to perform. I had to use a cane and a short walk to the mailbox as a major effort.
I underwent many tests, including x-rays, CAT scans, PET scans, EKG, colonoscopy and endoscopy, and many blood tests. In the last six months I have been examined by three primary physicians and specialists in gastroenterology, neurology and ophthalmology. All test results came back negative and my primary doctor could not find a reason for my symptoms.
After feeling a hard spot at the base of my skull on the right side, I googled “head to spine connection” and came up with the website “upcspine.com”. The author’s story impressed me so I reviewed his list of chiropractors in my area that specialized in upper spine corrections. Dr. Griffin’s qualifications, equipment, procedures and experience stood out above the rest and although there were many chiropractors closer to me, I chose to go to her.
After initial x-rays, I found that my spine and the upper spine in particular was in such bad shape that other than Dr. Griffin’s technique, surgery would be the only option to correct it. Her highly specialized process was a methodical series of consistent adjustments that resulted in significant improvements in my symptoms. The procedure that Dr. Griffin uses involves no popping or cracking of the spine but instead uses specialized equipment that painlessly makes the adjustments. After my initial adjustment, x-rays showed a definite improvement in my spinal condition and alignment.
After just one month of treatments many of my symptoms are gone or diminished. The damage to my spine didn’t happen overnight and the healing if it will take time, discipline and patience. Dr. Griffin is very patient, professional, competent and straightforward in her analysis and treatment of spinal problems. I am looking forward to continued improvement and realize that spinal care will always have to be a priority for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Griffin to people for their spinal treatment and care as the results for many can be life-changing.

Dr. Griffin is a very kind, caring and compassionate person. She is patient and deeply cares about the welfare of her patients. She listens and delivers treatment for their symptoms in a very thorough manner. All in all, she is a wonderful person to work with and I would highly recommend her to others. In fact I already have recommended her to others and hope they follow up as they will receive the same great care that I got. Thanks Dr. Griffin!
