Dr. Michele Vincent joined the Institute for Orthopedics and Chiropractic in January 2024.  

She spent the previous 18 years employed as a Faculty Clinician and Associate Professor with Northwestern Health Sciences University where she also graduated with a Doctorate Degree in Chiropractic, Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Biology, and earned her Certificate in Acupuncture.   Upon leaving NWHSU, Dr. Vincent was awarded the rank of Professor Emerita due to her extraordinary commitment, dedication, and years of service to her patients and student interns.  She was also a Senator on the University’s Faculty Senate for 4 years representing the Clinical Faculty who practiced in the Bloomington Healthcare Community Clinic on campus.  

Her love for learning and educating student interns in addition to her compassionate care for her patients, bestowed on her to be voted one of Minnesota’s Top Chiropractors by her peers for many years. 

Dr. Vincent also opened the first Chiropractic Department and practice located at La Clinica in West St. Paul, a Community Health Care Clinic where she feels extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to treat multiple cultures and the underserved patient population who often were homeless or without healthcare insurance.  Dr. Vincent has always believed in Evidence Based Research and utilizes this often in her approach to integrative care to best serve the patients she sees. She is well known for her empathy and ability to listen to her patients with a passionate spirit and thorough understanding to provide the best patient care ensuring the best patient outcomes for improved health and quality of life.  

Her experience and training allow her to influence and teach our next generation of Chiropractic health care providers who treat the whole patient and utilize multiple disciplines that will best fit the patient’s current needs and goals. This includes an integrative approach that could include Acupuncture, Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy, along with Wellness Health Coaching and stretching classes.   

 Dr. Vincent treats many conditions, including headaches, varying degrees of spinal conditions and degenerative disorders in addition to injury related and overuse syndromes and that can create multiple concerns and symptoms that involve the neuromusculoskeletal system. Her many years of experience have allowed her to be very specialized in her care for chronic pain conditions, women’s health and pediatrics, while also offering nutritional recommendations and exercise support activities.   With Dr. Vincent’s affinity for teaching, she thoroughly educates her patients so that they not only receive the best treatment and aftercare, but also have the knowledge needed to make informed choices about their health care. 

In her free time, Dr. Vincent can be found at the North Shore or traveling in Northern Wisconsin with her teenage daughter who is an aspiring professional fisherman.   She loves all sports with NFL football being her favorite and making her a die-hard Green Bay Packer fan. It is not surprising to learn that she thoroughly enjoys learning new things and enjoys reading nor is it not surprising that most of her reading material pertains to the art of Chiropractic and best practices in health and wellness care so she can incorporate most current research and ideas into the care she provides her patients. 

Dr. Vincent grew up in Amery, Wisconsin and has lived in Woodbury, MN with her teenage daughter, CeCe, for over 35 years.
