Meet Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee D.C.
Dr. Nisreen was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. When she was 13 years old her family relocated to Chicago, IL. Throughout high school and undergraduate school she suffered from excruciating upper back pain and became dependent on high doses of pain medications just to get through the day. She saw countless specialists - none were able to help her and she was told that exploratory surgery was her only option. It was not until she chanced upon a chiropractor that she finally found answers and experienced relief for the first time in years. At this point Nisreen was on a path to pursue a career in pharmacy. The healing impact of chiropractic care changed her life so profoundly that she withdrew her applications to pharmacy school and applied to chiropractic school instead. She moved to Dallas, Texas in 2013 to attend Parker University.
During chiropractic school Nisreen suffered from migraine headaches, weight loss, and inability to sleep. These debilitating symptoms sent her yet again on a search for answers. It was then that she discovered a functional medicine doctor who diagnosed her with a thyroid autoimmune condition. This diagnosis fueled Nisreen to learn more about autoimmunity and she began transform her lifestyle (by adopting anti-inflammatory nutrition, practicing stress reduction, and reducing environmental toxins) to improve her condition. Nisreen manages her illness with nutrition and supplementation rather than medication and to date is symptom free and thriving. She has a big heart for serving patients that suffer from autoimmune conditions.
Dr. Nisreen graduated from Parker University in Dallas, Texas in 2016 and is board certified chiropractic neurologist. She is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board, a Fellow of the International Board of Functional Neurology and she is currently working towards a Fellowship in Childhood Developmental Disorders and is close to completing a Diplomate in the American Board of Clinical Nutrition. She has a vast amount of clinical experience in functional neurology, functional medicine, and clinical nutrition and highly sought out across the globe for her expertise in pediatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, traumatic and neurodegenerative disorders, women’s health, endocrine dysfunction and nutrition.
She is passionate about working with symptoms associated with a wide range of conditions ranging from concussions, strokes, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, seizure disorders, dystonias and movement disorders, headache & migraines, balance and dizziness disorders, childhood developmental disorders (ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Dyslexia), PTSD and stress disorders. Lastly, Nisreen is certified in various chiropractic techniques: applied kinesiology, taping, strength and conditioning, and active and passive rehabilitation therapies.
