Our Practice
It is our desire for you to achieve your optimal health. We are honored to come along side you and serve as your guide on your health journey. To better care for you, Dr. Vander Wielen begins treatment by carefully listening to your health concerns. After a comprehensive health history is taken and a thorough exam, Dr. Vander Wielen may perform additional objective diagnostic tests. He takes a careful, methodical approach to assessing your health because he does not believe in guessing at your health. Taking a conservative approach, Dr. Vander Wielen’s treatments are 100% natural and are based on peer review research found in medical journals.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is that God designed our bodies to be healthy and to be restored when we fall out of health. We were each created uniquely and therefore have a unique biochemical and physiological makeup. Our genes, the way we handle stress, the way our bodies interact with the environment and our lifestyle choices all play an important role in our health. When we experience dis-ease, healing and function are restored by identifying and removing the obstacles to health. Health issues are usually multi-system problems, so a healer must be able to look at the function and interaction of different systems in the body.
Through a comprehensive health history, thorough exam and objective testing, Dr. Vander Wielen will come to understand you as a whole person. He will identify how your body is functioning on a cellular level and determine where your body has fallen out of health. From a place of knowledge, he will educate you on how your body is functioning and interacting with the environment. He will teach you how to best care for yourself and live in your own skin as it were.
Dr. Vander Wielen provides encouragement and motivation to take charge of your own health. Serving as a guide to rebuilding your health, Dr. Vander Wielen firmly believes:
We were each designed with an amazing ability to rebuild, renew and heal when we take care of ourselves properly.

Christine Vander Wielen, MSW, LCSW
Office Manager, Lifestyle Educator, Chiropractic Technician
Christine majored in psychology and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Marquette University. She then earned her Master of Social Work degree from Boston College. In addition to being the Office Manager, Lifestyle Educator, and Chiropractic Technician at Vander Wielen Health & Wellness Diagnostic Center, Christine is a clinical therapist at the Center for Family Healing in Menasha, Wisconsin.
As the Office Manager, she is often the first touch of the clinic. She handles patient communication, scheduling, and acts as the point person with the various laboratories and vendors. Christine is also a Metagenics certified Lifestyle Educator and works with patients to better manage stress.
For Christine and Scott, the inspiration to run a wellness center began over twenty years ago. The two would visit health clubs to work out and gain ideas. Scott, a mechanical engineer at the time, had a passion to help others improve their physical health while Christine had a strong desire to help others improve their emotional health. Christine soon began to experience health concerns. Over 15 years went by with Christine seeing over 15 different doctors from Boston to Wisconsin until Scott finally diagnosed her condition. Simple blood work confirmed his suspicions.
Due to a common autoimmune condition, Christine has learned first hand that food choices make a difference. She has come aware of how food can positively and negatively influence health. Firsthand experience of not having answers for her own health and difficulty functioning have fueled her passion for wanting others to not just feel better but be better.
Patients enjoy speaking with Christine and will often arrive early or stay late in order to share their health journey with her. She loves hearing about their progress and is always ready with a kind and encouraging word. Patients have described Christine as warm, caring, understanding, knowledgeable and compassionate.
Christine thoroughly loves her work and the different ways she can serve their patients. When she is not at work, Christine enjoys spending time with her children, exercising, learning, reading and cooking.
