Meet the Doctors
Dr. Jay Villella, DC
Dr. Jay Villella is the founder of Lane Avenue Wellness Center and has been serving patients in Columbus since 1998. A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, he has built one of the largest natural healthcare facilities in the city and developed deep expertise in spinal correction, nervous system health, and the treatment of complex disc and neuropathy conditions. His clinical work has extended to high-performance athletes, including members of USA Wrestling, USA Judo, and USA Weightlifting teams, and he served as a treating chiropractor for the USA Olympic Wrestling Team at the 2012 London Games.
In 2022, Dr. Villella was named one of the Best Spinal Decompression Doctors in America by the International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression and one of the Best Neuropathy Physicians in America by the International Neuropathy Association—earning the cover of both publications. That same year, he received advanced certification in disc disorders through the International Medical Advisory Board on Spinal Decompression. He was recognized as a member of the International Disc Education Association's Research, Science, and Technology division.
Dr. Villella's approach is grounded in the belief that lasting health comes from correcting the root cause of a problem, not managing its symptoms. He invests time educating each patient on what is happening in their body and why, and builds long-term care plans that extend beyond the office through nutrition guidance, home exercises, and supportive therapies.
