What's the idea behind the name?
Nurture Family Chiropractic
Nurture – We believe the best thing someone can do for their health is to take responsibility for it. However, it is much easier said than done and that’s why we’re here to help guide them along the way – Nurturing them, much like a parent nurtures their child or a person nurtures their plants. The nurturer can help the person/plant grow as much as possible by guiding them, providing them the right resources and kick starting the growing process but at the end of the day, the actual act of growing is the responsibility of the person/plant. The nurturer plays an important, but secondary, role in the growth of the person/plant. The job of your health care team is to nurture people and help them take control of their health.
Family – We want a family-friendly environment because we want it to be welcoming and inclusive to people of all ages. It is also thought that families and individual members of families work best when their family works together. We wanted to bring to light the importance of having a strong support system and we believe the word “Family” (blood or not blood) captured that well. People come from all walks of life and we want them to know that there’s a health care team at Nurture Family Chiropractic that cares and supports them in their health journey.
Chiropractic – This is what we do so it was put in the name LOL. Our "9-5 is getting people back to their "9-5", whatever that may be. This is achieved through chiropractic care which help people to move and function better so that they can do what they love – playing their favourite sport, working to support their family, enjoying a walk outside with their loved one, to running and playing with their grandkids. The possibilities are endless! What do you want to make possible?
