Meet Our Chiropractors
Dr. Paul Lyell
Jacksonville Chiropractor
Dr. Paul Lyell brings 19 years of chiropractic experience. He began his career in 2006 working at Midwest Chiropractic in Pittsfield and Barry, IL, then moved back to his home town of Merced, CA where he ran a successful Family and Sports Chiropractic Clinic. Dr. Paul Lyell was named Best Chiropractor by the Merced Sun-Star in Merced, California, four consecutive years.
Dr. Lyell and his family have relocated back to Illinois so their children can grow up closer to family. He evaluates and cares for a wide variety of musculoskeletal concerns. He is the provider of Trigger Point Dry Needling at ProActive Chiropractic & Rehab, which may be used, when appropriate, as one part of a broader care plan.
Whether you are having problems with back or neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, or you are suffering from conditions like carpal tunnel or plantar fasciitis, Dr. Lyell's training allows him to evaluate the problem and, when appropriate, recommend conservative care and home exercise to help you manage symptoms and reduce the chance of flare-ups. Individual results vary. Utilizing traditional Chiropractic techniques combined with Graston Technique, Radial Shockwave Therapy, Trigger Point Dry Needling, myofascial release, functional assessment, Kinesio taping, and nutrition — care is individualized to each patient.
Dr. Lyell takes a "whole person" approach in chiropractic care, considering movement, daily activities, and goals rather than focusing on a single symptom. Your first visit centers on a history and exam; any recommended care is explained before it begins, with no sales pitch, contracts, or expensive prepaid care plans. Care is informed by current research.
In his free time Dr. Lyell enjoys fishing with his children, snowboarding, kayaking, and racing in the 24 Hour of Lemons series. He is an active CrossFitter who has completed 2 Tough Mudders and multiple 5k obstacle races. His wife Angie helps run the office, and together they are dedicated to serving Jacksonville and the surrounding communities.
