What Does Isis Stand For? The Story Behind Our Name

When Isis Chiropractic Centres was established in 1986, we wanted a name that reflected our approach to healthcare and the values we hoped our clinics would represent.

We chose Isis, the name of one of the most important goddesses of ancient Egypt, who was associated with healing, protection, compassion and wisdom.

Today, the name remains an important part of our history and identity.

Who Was Isis?

Isis was one of the most widely revered goddesses of ancient Egypt. She was associated with healing, motherhood, protection and magic, and was often portrayed as a powerful and compassionate figure.

In Egyptian mythology, Isis was celebrated for her devotion to her family, her knowledge and her ability to protect and restore life.

Her influence extended far beyond Egypt. Worship of Isis spread throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, where she continued to be regarded as a protective and nurturing goddess.

The name Isis is the Greek form of the Egyptian name Aset (also written Auset).

Why Did We Choose the Name Isis?

When we established our first chiropractic clinic in Aylesbury in 1986, we wanted a name that reflected our approach to healthcare and the values we hoped our clinics would represent.

We chose Isis because of the qualities traditionally associated with the ancient Egyptian goddess: healing, protection, compassion and wisdom.

The name was distinctive, memorable and reflected the caring philosophy on which we wanted to build our practice.

What Does the Name Isis Mean to Us?

From the beginning, we wanted to create a healthcare practice built around professional knowledge, individual attention and genuine care for our patients.

Over the decades, our clinics have grown and developed, incorporating different approaches to musculoskeletal healthcare. Today, Isis Chiropractic Centres operates in Milton Keynes, Northampton and Aylesbury.

Although our treatments and facilities have evolved, our original commitment to helping people improve their movement, function and quality of life remains unchanged.

Is Isis an Abbreviation?

No. Isis is not an acronym or abbreviation.

Our name comes from the ancient Egyptian goddess and was chosen when our first clinic opened in 1986.

It has no connection with any political, religious or extremist organisation.

Although the name has acquired other associations in more recent times, we have retained it because it represents our origins, our history and the values on which our clinics were founded.

A Name That Has Been With Us Since 1986

For four decades, the name Isis has been associated with our chiropractic clinics and the patients we have cared for across Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire.

It is part of our heritage and a reminder of why we started: to provide thoughtful, professional and individualised care.
