How we work
You will be told plainly whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation. If it is not, we will point you toward whoever is better placed to help.
Back pain in Alfred Cove: what it usually comes down to
Pregnancy-related back pain
Care during pregnancy is adapted trimester by trimester, with positioning and technique adjusted as things change.
Around Alfred Cove, staying active through pregnancy is common, and the practical question is usually what to modify and when.
We work alongside your midwife, obstetrician or GP, and refer where something sits with them.
Call the practice and we will talk it through before you book anything.
Recent back pain in Alfred Cove?
Sudden back pain rarely comes from the single moment people blame. That moment is usually the last straw on a load that had been building.
Around Alfred Cove it frequently follows a change in activity — a longer ride, a return to running, or the first round of golf in months.
We test rather than guess. If the assessment says chiropractic care is appropriate, we explain what that involves. If it does not, we point you where to go.
Book an initial consultation and we will assess it properly before recommending anything.
The back pain that never quite goes
Most people with recurring back pain have stopped mentioning it. That is exactly the point at which an assessment is worth doing.
Around Alfred Cove, recurring back pain often follows the training cycle, flaring when volume goes up and settling when it drops.
At the Report of Findings visit we go through what the assessment showed and what, if anything, is worth doing about it.
If you are not sure whether this is something we can help with, ring us and ask.
When back pain travels
Sciatica is a description of symptoms, not a diagnosis. Pain, tingling or numbness down the leg can come from the lower back, the pelvis or the hip.
Around Alfred Cove, symptoms that come on during or after running or cycling need the hip and pelvis assessed alongside the lower back.
The assessment establishes where the symptoms are coming from and whether imaging or a medical referral is needed before anything else.
We would rather assess it first and tell you plainly whether we can help.
The ache between the shoulder blades
Mid back restriction can present as a sharp catch on a deep breath, which is unsettling and worth having assessed.
Around Alfred Cove, cycling position and swimming stroke are common contributors, and both are adjustable once you know what is loading what.
You will get a clear explanation of what the assessment showed before anything is recommended.
Book an initial consultation and we will assess it properly before recommending anything.
Desk work and lower back pain
There is no perfect posture, but there is such a thing as too long in any one position, and the lower back is usually where that shows.
Around Alfred Cove, plenty of people who are active in the evening still sit for eight hours before it, and the back does not average the two out.
Where the day is the driver, changing it is part of the picture rather than an afterthought.

FAQs
Do you see back pain patients from Alfred Cove?
Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 8 minutes from Alfred Cove outside peak, generally via Canning Highway or Leach Highway. Patients travel to us from right across this side of Perth. If the distance is a concern, call us first and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth the trip.
How many visits will I need?
That depends entirely on what the assessment shows, and we will not give you a number before we have done one. What we will do is set out the recommended plan, the expected timeline and the cost at the Report of Findings visit so there are no surprises.
