Dr. Nick Bergen was born and raised in Thorold, Ontario located within the Niagara Region.
Although not professionally, he has been involved in various sports including soccer, hockey,
volleyball, badminton, golf, and basketball. He has always had an interest in human anatomy
and function, and graduated from Brock University in 2017 with a Bachelors of Kinesiology
(Honours). In his last two years of university, he held a placement and volunteer position at
Power Cord and SeniorFit, the former being a wheelchair accessible program specific to
individuals with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and
amputations, and the latter a fitness program designed for men and women 55 years of age and
older. It was at this time he gained interest in the management of musculoskeletal conditions
and decided chiropractic was the career path that would enable him to make a difference in the
lives of others.
Nick graduated Cum Laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2022 and
moved to Sudbury to start his career. He has a strong interest in treating the general population
and strives to improve the health of his patients to the best of his abilities using patient
education, manual and soft tissue therapy, exercise prescription, low-level-laser therapy, clinical
acupuncture, and interprofessional collaboration. Although he hails from Southern Ontario, he is
looking forward to embracing the Northern lifestyle and everything Sudbury has to offer.
