Meet Dr. Joel Casteel

My grandfather graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and became the first chiropractor in our family. In 1952 he moved to the Clearfield area and opened the first Casteel Chiropractic office. All three of his sons, one of whom is my dad, became chiropractors.

Growing up, I always knew that if I started to have any pain, I could simply get a chiropractic adjustment. It was part of how our family looked after itself, so I went to chiropractic school myself, and I have never looked back.

Dr. Casteel began his pre-chiropractic education at Penn State University, where he studied basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and biology, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses.

He was then accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. In his four years at Palmer, his courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College Clinic.

After graduating in 2000, Dr. Casteel returned to Central Pennsylvania and worked as an associate for a few years, then opened his State College practice in 2003.

Dr. Casteel enjoys spending lots of time with his friends and family, especially outdoors. When he is not in the office, he can usually be found in the mountains hiking, fishing, hunting or downhill skiing.
