Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by irritation of the tendons around the outside of the elbow. It’s not limited to athletes — anyone with repetitive arm or wrist use can experience it. At Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health, we look beyond the elbow joint to see how nerve pathways, muscle recruitment, and biomechanics may be contributing. Advanced neurological assessments allow us to pinpoint imbalances, so treatment is focused on restoring healthy movement and reducing pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. This can interfere with daily activities such as typing, gripping, or lifting. Our approach includes advanced nerve conduction testing and functional neurological exams to identify exactly where the problem lies. With this information, we can apply gentle, non-invasive therapies to reduce nerve irritation and support hand function.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially noticeable with the first steps in the morning. It’s linked to irritation of the thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. We assess not just the foot itself, but also how spinal alignment, nerve function, and gait mechanics may be influencing the condition. By integrating chiropractic neurology with movement-based rehabilitation, we help reduce pain and restore comfortable mobility.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often causing sharp, shooting pain down the back of the leg. Many cases are linked to spinal changes, but muscle tension, joint dysfunction, or postural habits may also play a role. At our clinic, we use neurological testing to understand the root cause and how the brain and body are communicating. This allows us to develop precise care plans that relieve pressure on the nerve and restore pain-free movement
Wrist or foot drop refers to weakness in lifting the wrist or toes, often caused by nerve dysfunction rather than simple muscle fatigue. This can affect walking, balance, or hand use, and may stem from issues in the spine, peripheral nerves, or even the brain. Our team uses advanced neurological testing to identify exactly where the nerve pathway is disrupted. From there, we create targeted rehabilitation strategies to help restore strength, coordination, and daily function.
Ankle sprains, ligament damage, or chronic instability can linger long after the initial injury. These issues often alter how the nervous system communicates with the muscles of the foot and ankle, affecting balance and performance. At Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health, we combine functional movement assessments with neurological testing to uncover hidden deficits. This allows us to design treatment plans that improve stability, speed up recovery, and reduce the risk of re-injury.
The hip and shoulder are two of the most mobile joints in the body, but they’re also prone to pain, stiffness, and injury. Often, these problems are not just mechanical but also neurological, involving how the brain coordinates movement. Our assessments look at muscle activation patterns, joint stability, and nerve involvement to understand the bigger picture. By restoring proper neurological control, we can help improve strength, range of motion, and overall function.
Nerve entrapments occur when nerves are compressed or irritated along their pathway, leading to symptoms such as pain, tingling, or weakness. Common examples include cubital tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. Through advanced diagnostic testing, we can locate where the entrapment is occurring and assess how it affects surrounding structures. With precise, non-surgical interventions, we aim to free up nerve function and support long-term recovery.
Inflammatory joint diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis, involve immune-driven inflammation that damages joints and surrounding tissues. These conditions often present with pain, stiffness, and fatigue that extend beyond normal “wear and tear.” At our clinic, we integrate functional medicine testing to uncover hidden inflammatory triggers while also supporting neurological function and joint mobility. This comprehensive approach helps patients manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Some patients continue to experience pain even after back surgery, a condition known as failed back surgery syndrome. This may result from unresolved nerve irritation, scar tissue, or ongoing biomechanical issues. Using a neurological and functional medicine approach, we reassess nerve health, spinal stability, and inflammation to identify the overlooked causes of pain. Our goal is to provide non-surgical options that improve comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
