Meet Dr. Cassie Cantu
Dr. Cantu is the latest addition to our talented team of chiropractors at Back Pain Center. This Dallas native has extensive knowledge and experience in helping patients with various musculoskeletal conditions with a special focus on sports injuries and rehabilitation.
Dr. Cantu became passionate about chiropractic care during her time as a student-athlete playing softball at Ouachita Baptist University. Her personal experiences with sports-related injuries led her to explore conservative and holistic treatment methods, striving for long-lasting recovery. Dr. Cantu uses various techniques, including manual manipulation, rehab exercises, soft tissue work, and lifestyle adjustments, to create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Education and Specializations
After earning her Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University, Dr. Cantu furthered her education with a Master’s in Functional Nutrition and pursued advanced certifications in rehabilitation methods and protocols. Her extensive training allows her to offer specialized care to a diverse patient population, including pregnant women, children, and athletes, ensuring everyone receives the most effective and gentle care possible.
Empowering Patients
Dr. Cantu enjoys empowering her patients through education and practical tools they can incorporate into their daily lives. She provides exercises and strategies that they can use at home to enhance their recovery and prevent future injuries.
Community Engagement & Hobbies
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Cantu is actively involved in the St. Louis softball community, offering her expertise to young athletes through hitting and building lessons and supporting local teams at tournaments. Her strong interest in sports chiropractic stems from her own experiences as an athlete, combined with her specialized training in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT), among others. These methods focus on retraining movement patterns and self-management techniques for pain relief and improved function.
When she’s not helping patients at our O’Fallon office, you can find Dr. Cantu staying active outdoors with her dog Honey, baking gluten-free treats, or exploring the sights of St. Louis.
