Dr. Roger Lyss

“In order to help you, we must first get to know you.”

Inspiration

Dr. Roger Lyss didn’t need to look far for inspiration when deciding to become a chiropractor. “My father, who was a chiropractor, began teaching me chiropractic techniques at age 14. I began attending chiropractic seminars with him at age 15.” Dr. Lyss also assisted his father in teaching seminars before attending Palmer Chiropractic College. This unique background has provided him the strong desire to naturally heal patients.

Education and Background

Dr. Lyss graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1984 from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa. The day after graduation, he married his wife, Elizabeth Lyss.

Dr. Lyss moved his growing family to Springfield, OH in 1985, where he joined the practice of Dr. David Polen. “Dr. Polen’s specialty was nutrition combined with chiropractic. He was a brilliant man, when it came to nutrition, that taught me a great deal.”

In 1989, the Lyss family moved to Gahanna, OH. Dr. Lyss opened his practice shortly after, in April of 1990. Within 6 months, he had a waiting list. “I believe in trying to help those who have yet to find help.” With this mindset, Dr. Lyss has helped numerous patients, locally and throughout the country.

Dr. Lyss stays abreast of new information by steadily attending post-graduate chiropractic and nutritional seminars. Dr. Lyss is also a member of the Ohio State Chiropractic Association.

Family and Personal Interests

Dr. Roger Lyss enjoys spending time with his wife, Liz, whom he met in the 8th grade. They have 2 sons, 1 daughter, a daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren. Dr. Lyss likes spending time out in nature as much as possible.

Nutrition and Chiropractic

Dr. Lyss has not lost sight of his passion for healing. “Patients are the heart of my practice….and all of my patients know my heart.” Lyss Chiropractic Center is a location for physical, mental and emotional healing through nutrition and chiropractic techniques. “We empower our patients to take control, support them in making good choices and to reach their full potential in a healthful lifestyle. To be a part of a patient’s life, witnessing their health progress and seeing their life change is a privilege. It’s my biggest reward.”

"What our patients are saying"
  • A friend recommended Dr. Lyss to me at a time when I was having what I thought were gall bladder attacks. Because of the diagnostic capabilities of the computron and Dr. Lyss’ experience with it, I found that the pain was actually due to inflammation of the bile duct and was soon free of it. That was the beginning of many years of a life giving health relationship with Lyss Chiropractic Center. I have been healed of rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches and auras. I have experienced improved liver function. Dr. Lyss also has educated and equipped me to take charge of my health as well as demonstrated adjustment techniques. In times of health emergencies, I have always found Dr. Lyss faithful to respond and guide. He has spent countless hours during our one-to-two hour appointment sessions formulating my unique health profile and needs. I remain forever grateful to have Lyss Chiropractic partnering with me for optimum life choices.

  • My name is Chris Whitcraft and I have been a patient of Dr. Lyss since 2006. I was a professional super cross athlete that relied on treatment from Dr. Lyss, due in part to the impact and injury my body experienced on a regular basis. I have endured many physical hardships through my career in which I firmly believe if it weren’t for Dr. Lyss, I would not be here walking in the condition I am. I have been taken care of for alignments, broken bones, concussions, and a temporary paralysis that I was not supposed to recover from. I firmly believe Lyss Chiropractic is a strong reason why I can walk today. There were ailments I endured that only Dr. Lyss was able to crack. I have an eight vertebra fusion that I only trust Dr. Lyss to alleviate the daily pain I endure. I even have a 5 month old baby girl who sees Dr. Lyss and he eases the tension and fussiness I see her experience. The knowledge from Dr. Lyss is unmatchable and when you combine the chiropractic adjustments with the supplemental assistance offered, I don’t think you will find this anywhere else. The entire staff treats you like family. There is no other doctor I would recommend aside from Lyss Chiropractic.

  • At the start of my senior year in high school, I fractured my skull. I had to stop everything. No sports and a late start to classes. For about two years I had been seeing different neurologists with no positive results. Eventually, things started to get worse during my sophomore year in college. With all the pain and migraines, I wasn’t able to concentrate, focus, or do anything without any pain. It started to look like I wasn’t going to finish my sophomore year. That’s when I found out about Dr. Lyss. After my first visit with him, I almost immediately started to feel better. There was a sense of relief and hope. And now, after just four visits, I have gotten back to running, doing my farm work, I can focus and simply do things without the fear of regretting it, due to pain. Dr. Lyss made me feel like family. He treats me like I’m his only patient (which I’m not) by spending a lot of time with me, not rushing things, being honest and just taking time to get to know me. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I am always looking forward to my visits there. I am so thankful to be a patient of Dr. Lyss’. He has changed my life for the better. I can finally say that I actually have my life back.

  • I strongly recommend Lyss Chiropractic. The entire staff is very professional, friendly and helpful. The doctors are very committed to providing high quality care to all of their patients. My family is extremely grateful for everything we have learned about health and wellness from Dr. Lyss and for the great care he has provided to all of us.

  • By coming to Dr. Lyss, and learning from his knowledge and experience, I have gained so much. Without his guidance, I never would have realized there were so many factors that can contribute to overall health. He looks at the total body and not just a specific symptom to determine why a body reacts the way it does to different life situations. My daughter had so many things going on with her little body from a young age. Dr. Lyss was quickly and easily able to determine that the root of her problems was a weak hypothalamus. As soon as we started to support that organ, her whole world began to change for the better.
