CASSANDRA BERGER

Cassandra Berger proudly represents True North Chiropractic, where the belief in the body’s innate ability to heal and function on its own stands at the core of everything they do. At True North Chiropractic, the team, led by Dr. Christian Castellano (Dr. CJ) and Dr. Nicole Castellano, is dedicated to helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness by addressing the root cause of issues rather than just symptoms.

The foundation of chiropractic care lies in understanding the role of the nervous system. This intricate system—comprising the brain, spinal cord, and nerves—controls every function in the body, from muscles and joints to organs and tissues. The spine plays a crucial role in protecting this vital communication, but when misalignments (known as vertebral subluxations) occur, they can lead to a range of health issues. Whether it’s chronic pain, digestive issues, or even anxiety, interference in the nervous system can have wide-ranging effects, sometimes manifesting immediately and sometimes surfacing after years of improper nerve function.

At True North Chiropractic, Dr. CJ and Dr. Nicole are passionate about identifying and correcting these misalignments, allowing the body to heal naturally without the need for unnecessary interventions like medications or surgeries. This proactive approach to health care focuses on long-term results, empowering patients to live fuller, healthier lives.

Dr. Nicole Castellano's journey into chiropractic care began during her time as an Athletic Trainer at Loras College, where she witnessed the profound benefits of chiropractic treatment for athletes recovering from injuries. This inspired her to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she deepened her understanding of how the nervous system influences overall health. After becoming a mother, Dr. Nicole found a special passion for helping mothers experience happier, healthier pregnancies and birth experiences, as well as providing chiropractic care for newborns and children, ensuring they have the healthiest possible start to life.

Dr. Christian Castellano, better known as Dr. CJ, grew up in Wisconsin and earned degrees in Kinesiology and Business Administration before a personal injury led him to discover the transformative power of chiropractic care. After suffering a severe hand injury, Dr. CJ found little improvement with traditional treatments until he sought chiropractic care. Within months, he regained full feeling and function in his hand and experienced improvements in his anxiety, back pain, knee issues, and digestion. This life-changing experience led him to pursue chiropractic studies at Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he became passionate about helping others heal naturally, just as he had.

Both Dr. Nicole and Dr. CJ share a deep commitment to helping patients achieve health without relying on drugs or surgery. Their personal experiences and passion for chiropractic care drive their mission to educate and empower others about the body’s ability to heal when given the right support.

Outside of the office, Dr. Nicole enjoys running, hiking, and spending quality time with her family, while Dr. CJ enjoys hunting, working out, and exploring nature with his dog, Piper. They both cherish their roles as parents and are deeply committed to providing the best care possible for their community.

At True North Chiropractic, Cassandra Berger and the team are excited to welcome you to experience the healing power of chiropractic care and guide you on a path to optimal health and wellness.
