Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health

Sydney Neuro & Integrative health is proud to provide a comprehensive, systems-based evaluation of POTS and autonomic disorders, looking beyond a single linear model of treatment.

Your autonomic nervous system controls the functions you don’t have to think about — heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, temperature regulation and more. When this system isn’t functioning properly, people can experience symptoms such as dizziness, rapid heart rate, fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, anxiety-like sensations, functional gastrointestinal symptoms, and temperature sensitivity.

If you or someone you know has been struggling with POTS and autonomic dysregulation, a comprehensive functional neurological and autonomic evaluation may provide a gateway into understanding the complexity of such as "invisible illness" we call POTS.

YOUR SPINE, YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM - WHY IT MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK 🧠

Your spine isn't just a stack of bones, it’s the protective highway for your central nervous system (CNS). Inside it runs the spinal cord, carrying every message between your brain and body. When the spine is injured, compressed, or inflamed, it doesn’t just cause back pain — it can alter neural communication, reflexes, movement, and even organ function

When your spine is stressed, injured, or compressed, it’s not just “back pain” — it can disrupt movement, reflexes, sensation, and even organ function.

Research shows that spinal conditions like cervical spondylotic myelopathy and spinal cord injury cause real neuroinflammation, demyelination, and even brain changes (Khan et al., 2023; Patel et al., 2025).

Why this matters for you? 🤔

1. Preventive mindset: Taking care of your spine means preserving the pathways of your nervous system — your sensory awareness, motor control, coordination, organ regulation.

2. Smart management: If you have spinal degeneration, disc problems, or pain — viewing it through a nervous system lens helps you understand why one disc bulge may cause big symptoms, while another might not.

3. Rehabilitation & recovery: Understanding the neurophysiological relationship opens doors to targeted therapies — not just “fixing the disc” but modulating neural circuits, improving reflexes, reducing maladaptive plasticity, restoring function.

4. Pain & quality of life: Persistent spinal problems often lead to central sensitization (the nervous system becomes more sensitive), low level axonal/ demyelinative loss and even brain changes — knowing this means you’re not “just hurting because of a bad back”, but because your nervous system is adapting (or maladapting) to what’s happening in your spine.

Did you know that our head clinician and owner at Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health (Dr. Daniel Yazbek) can perform extensive neurological evaluations as well as advanced studies to address disease and pathology to the nerves exiting and traversing the spine, arms and legs?

Dr. Yazbek is the only trained chiropractor in Sydney, Australia who is able to perform nerve conduction studies to determine the extent, location and type of nerve injury you or your loved one may have.

When do nerve conduction studies provide clinical value for you as a patient, when consulting a chiropractor with symptoms of neck or back pain?

1. Tingling or numbness in the shoulder, arm, hand, thigh, leg or foot that is not relieved with conventional hands-on chiropractic or physiotherapy methods.

2. Failed lumbar surgery syndrome. This is where the surgical operation performed on your spine (neck or low back) did not resolve your neurological symptoms of tingling, weakness or numbness.

3. Progressive weakness in the hand of foot drop

4. MRI imaging findings that do not correlate to the severity of your symptoms

If you or your loved one can relate to any of the above, then please book in a free 10-minute consultation here - https://the-chiro-hub.cliniko.com/bookings .

We will work with your GP or specialist neurologist so you can feel confident and re-assured that you take the right path towards optimizing your health

Hi,

I am Dr. Daniel Yazbek, founder of Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health

Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health has developed expertise through the pursuit of many years of academic, professional and clinical experience. SNIH is at the frontiers of combining functional medicine-oriented approaches in tandem with a functional neurological approach to many nervous system and systemic health conditions.

Due to an over-abundance of conventional linear-based approaches to health and a serious need to fill the gap in the healthcare market, SNIH is providing a bi-directional brain-body approach to truly untangle the complex web of your chronic injury or illness.

At Sydney Neuro & Integrative health, we work with a wide range of conditions, from acute to more advanced spinal-related conditions, through to acquired neurological and brain-based diseases.

The key to our patients’ success is our personalized approach to treatment and to treat you as a person with a condition and not the condition itself.

At Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health, we would like to extend a generous 10-minute free consultation with you, so we can determine how we can serve you at best, through all that we provide both within and outside clinical practice.

Please feel free to book your 10-minute free consultation here - https://the-chiro-hub.cliniko.com/bookings

Is MRI really the gold standard for diagnosing your condition?

In many spine and nerve-related cases, MRI and ultrasound is invaluable for visualizing structure. But it has one major limitation: it shows anatomy - not function.

At Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health, we see patients every week whose MRI scans don’t fully explain their symptoms: Weakness, numbness & tingling.

That’s where Electrodiagnostic testing (NCV/EMG) comes in:

- MRI reveals anatomical changes in bones, discs and soft tissue.
- NCV/EMG measures how well nerves and muscles are actually functioning.

By combining both, we can:
- Pinpoint the exact location & severity of nerve injury
- Determine the functional consequences of Pffirrmann grading on disc protrusions compressing nerve roots
- Differentiate between disc-nerve compression, entrapment neuropathies, polyneuropathies & muscle disease
- Monitor recovery over time
- Provide clearer prognosis & treatment planning

In fact, studies show that adding NCV/EMG to MRI often changes the diagnosis - and better predicts who will benefit from surgery or targeted therapies.

Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health is the only allied health clinic to offer all three forms of examination:
1. Comprehensive neurological & Orthopaedic examination
2️. MRI correlation
3️. NCV/EMG testing

For persistent symptoms that MRI alone does not explain, we can provide a complete diagnostic approach!
