Meet the Doctor

Dr. Paul Lyell is a Merced native who graduated from both Golden Valley High School and Merced College before leaving the area to pursue his Bachelors of Science in Human Biology.  He attended Cleveland Chiropractic College of Los Angeles where he was president of his school's chapter of the Student American Chiropractic Association, as well as a cabinet member of the school's sports council. 

Dr. Paul Lyell initially worked as an associate doctor for two very busy clinics in rural Illinois.  After gaining a tremendous amount of experience, Dr. Lyell could not wait to get back to his home town of Merced.  His extensive training and experience with the latest in Chiropractic techniques and protocols provides his patients with tremendous results.  Dr. Lyell is able to relieve your symptoms quickly and painlessly.  At Merced Chiropractic we are committed to promoting the health and well being of all our patients.

Dr. Lyell uses a "whole person approach" when taking care of his patients.  By combining the very best hands-on-techniques, state of the art soft tissue therapy, physiotherapy procedures, and home exercises, Dr. Lyell will tailor his care to best fit your specific case.  This will help you to get out of pain quickly and then provide you with the tools and knowledge to help you stay healthy.  At Merced Chiropractic we will work with you hand-in-hand during your journey to achieving wellness.

Dr. Lyell is a very big football fan, and played for both Golden Valley High School and Merced College as a defensive lineman.  Footbal injuries are what originally drew him to Chiropractic.  After suffering from a serious neck injury and a bad ankle sprain, Dr. Lyell was amazed at how quickly he was able to get back into the game with Chiropractic.  After the wonderful care he received, he knew he wanted to help others to experience the same amazing results that chiropractic care has to offer. 

Dr. Lyell's goal is to get you back to work or on the field as fast as possible.
