Dr. Michael Vander Veen

Dr. Michael Vander Veen was born and raised in southwest Minnesota in a community much like Oskaloosa. Dr. Mike along with his twin sisters and younger brother grew up on an acreage outside of town where they spent many hours outside riding dirt bikes and building forts, all the joys of growing up. Dr. Mike’s mother introduced him to chiropractic care as a child, but it wasn’t until he got a little older that he developed a passion for learning about the human body.   With a love of sports he felt athletic training was a perfect career path and after graduating from high school he choose to further his education at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa.  While pursuing his degree his desire to serve others grew and he felt called to provide natural healthcare to more than just athletes.   Dr. Mike knew then that our bodies have the innate ability to heal and he wanted to help people achieve that.

After graduating from Northwestern Dr. Mike moved to Kansas City to attend Cleveland Chiropractic College. While studying for his doctorate in chiropractic his passion grew for the art of chiropractic as well as his understanding of how our bodies heal. Dr. Mike’s long hours of studying and hard work paid off as he graduated with honors and was named valedictorian of his class.

Dr. Mike moved to Oskaloosa to join the team at Oskaloosa Chiropractic Clinic in November of 2015.  He is a member of the Iowa Chiropractic Society and the International Chiropractic Association.

Dr. Mike married his best friend Whitney in 2017 and they have made their home in Oskaloosa.  Whitney is a physical therapist here in Oskaloosa with a passion for helping children. In 2019 they welcomed their baby girl Logan into the world. Then in June of 2021 their second daughter Hayden was born. Much of their time outside of the clinic is spent playing and spoiling their little girls.
