Visual and Auditory Evoked Potentials: Measuring How the Nervous System Processes Sight and Sound
Visual and auditory evoked potentials are non-invasive neurological tests that measure how efficiently sensory signals travel from the eyes and ears through the nervous system. Discover how VEP and auditory brainstem testing can provide objective information about visual, auditory and brainstem pathway function and support a more comprehensive neurological assessment.
Neurofeedback: How the Brain Learns to Regulate Itself
Why we use Neurofeedback at Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health When patients first see a QEEG brain map, there is often an understandable fascination with the colours, Z-scores and patterns of electrical activity displayed on the screen. The technology is visually impressive, but the brain map itself is only the beginning of the story. The […]

QEEG Brain Mapping: A Deeper Insight Into Brain Function
QEEG brain mapping at Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health provides an advanced, non-invasive way to assess how your brain is functioning in real time. By measuring brainwave activity and communication between regions, it helps uncover patterns linked to symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, and poor sleep. This insight allows for more precise, personalised care by guiding treatment strategies across the nervous system, rather than relying on guesswork alone.
Dysautonomia, POTS & the Central Autonomic Network
“The central autonomic network is composed of interconnected brain regions that integrate visceral sensory input with cognitive, emotional, and motor information in order to generate appropriately timed autonomic responses. Dysfunction of this network results not from weakness of autonomic output, but from impaired coordination, integration, and modulation of autonomic activity.”

When the Brain Changes the Back: How Cortical Reorganisation Shapes Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic low back pain isn’t just a structural problem – it’s also a neurological one. Emerging research shows that chronic back pain can change how the brain controls spinal muscles, leading to poor timing, guarding and ongoing discomfort. This article explores how cortical reorganisation contributes to chronic low back pain and why evidence-based chiropractic care in Maroubra and Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs focuses on retraining both the brain and the back.
Why Motor Control Matters in Back and Neck Pain (neck pain treatments)
As a chiropractor in Maroubra, understanding motor control – how the brain and body coordinate movement – is essential. Motor control depends on constant communication between the sensory and motor systems, playing a crucial role in posture, spinal stability and efficient movement. Pain can disrupt this finely tuned system, creating movement patterns that may persist […]
