Who We Help

A concussion is a brain injury associated with rapid brain movement and characteristic clinical symptoms that include but are not limited to:

Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are a common, disabling and costly condition that occurs as a consequence of a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Patients may report diverse symptoms following a whiplash injury. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, loss of balance, visual disturbances, tingling & numbness, weakness, cognitive disturbances and memory difficulties.

Whilst those with post-traumatic stress disorder have the least favourable prognosis following whiplash, interventions that are aimed at improving head-neck control, neuroplasticity training and addressing psycho-emotional factors can greatly improve function and quality of life.

Vertigo and dizziness are common complaints in clinical practice. Vertigo is a condition when dislodged calcium carbonate crystals migrate through the anatomical portion of the inner ear to an area known as the semicircular canals. This floating debris in the canal is what provokes symptoms such as nausea and perception of the world spinning around them. A Chiropractor with expert training in neuroscience is trained to differentiate many conditions that can present as vertigo and dizziness.

In addition, there are many repositioning techniques that help with the reduction in symptoms and improve quality of life. Furthermore, medications that treat symptoms of vertigo do not address the cause. Medications for the treatment of vertigo are non-specific and can actually worsen the condition if long-term use is advocated.

Although, migraine headaches have a large genetic component, in some patients the neck may be a compounding effect in the aetiology of the condition. In other patients the neck may play a lesser role.

In unresolved chronic headaches and migraines, there are many other nutritional, environmental and metabolic factors that can be evaluated and treated. A combined functional medicine and neuro-rehabilitative approach is best when it comes to addressing the triggers and mediators for headache and migraine. Tests may include food allergy & sensitivity testing, urine organic acid testing and detox-genomic testing.

Many patients who seek care with a medical neurologist may wait months for an appointment. Depending on the severity and/or progressive nature of the disease, this time period can be crucial to ensure timely guidance and recommendations. It also provides a chance to modify lifestyle and environmental conditions and implement dietary changes. Furthermore, It presents an opportunity to perform advanced functional laboratory testing, electrodiagnostic studies and implement a personalised therapeutic treatment plan. This can all possibly be achieved prior to the initial appointment with your medical neurologist.

Our principal chiropractor is uniquely placed to perform a thorough neurological examination pertaining to all levels of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Pain and tingling down the back of the leg is usually associated with sciatica. However, there are many masquerades of sciatica which need to be ruled out.

The Chiro Hub is able to utilize electrodiagnostic studies to assess how the nerves function from the spine all the way down to the feet. This allows more appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Low back pain is a common complaint that presents to doctors of both conventional and allied health practices. What needs to be realized is that chiropractors have a specialised scope regarding the diagnosis, treatment and management of spinal disorders, in many cases more so than medical doctors. Spinal adjustment techniques, manual therapy methods and corrective exercise strategies have a much greater impact on subjective pain scales than do pain prescriptive medicines. Our principal Chiropractor is able to differentiate many spinal conditions, utilize nerve conduction studies as well as interpret advanced spinal imaging analyses, all of which are quite unique amongst fellow colleagues.

To ensure Dr. Yazbek can provide the best available treatment to his patients, he has liaised with some of the best pain and spine specialists in Sydney. Once a diagnosis can be confidently provided, in the case where surgery or specialist pain intervention is required, a referral can be arranged.

Nerve injuries can be the result of mechanical compression from protruded discs, direct compression to the limb itself or blunt trauma.

The prognosis of healing depends on the location of the nerve injury, grade of severity and if the patient has metabolic factors that may influence healing time such as poor blood sugar control, nutritional and iron deficiencies. The Chiro Hub utilizes advanced technology such as electrodiagnostic studies to determine how the nerves in the arms, hands, legs and feet are functioning. Once this information is quantified, we can use this pre and post intervention whether it be a surgical neuro-rehabilitative approach or otherwise.

Dysautonomia is an umbrella term that describes conditions or states that have a negative effect on the brain, brainstem or spinal cord. When there is dysregulation to these areas, unconscious bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, pain control, sweating, and temperature control are not appropriately matched by the changes in internal/external environment, foods we consume or exercise related activities.

Dysautonomia can cause a wide variety of symptoms and may be categorized into different names such as Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Orthostatic Intolerance, and Neuro-Cardiogenic Syncope. In fact, many patients have developed POTS from the sequelae of Long-Covid yet have not received the appropriate treatment. The Chiro Hub uses advanced technology to measure changes in heart rate, blood pressure and other parameters related to the autonomic nervous system.

Dysautonomia has also been associated with digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Unfortunately these patients are treated as if their gut is the primary problem, but dysautonomia greatly affects gut function and close attention and treatment is necessary outside the gut, such as the interrelationship between gut microbiota, vagal tone and neurotransmitters

It is common for dysautonomia to be reported after head trauma, viral infections, surgeries and even vaccinations. Each patient with the same set of symptoms therefore must be treated differently.

Many autoimmune conditions are treated very simplistically and linearly in conventional medicine. However, a functional medicine approach to address the multiple triggers and root causes for autoimmunity may result in remission of the disease. From a conventional model, autoimmunity is treated with a biologic or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug. This has side effects with long term use but what’s most important is addressing immunological reaction to foods, environmental toxicants and treating bacterial and viral triggers. Often and most always, autoimmune conditions require collaboration between an integrated GP.

It is important to know that the body doesn’t just attack its own tissue for no apparent reason. The Chiro Hub has been utilising advanced methodological testing to analyse many triggers to the onset of autoimmunity.

Our principal chiropractor has received extensive training to become recognised as a Functional Medicine Practitioner. In addition he has liaised with integrated doctors and compounding pharmacists to offer a service that is truly integrated in its approach.

Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, dementia, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, and troublesome conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. The treatment that patients receive for these and other chronic conditions is often inadequate.
