What can I expect during the Report of Findings visit?

During the Report of Findings visit, you'll be walked through exactly what's going on in your body, how the chiropractic care can help, and what to expect, including timeline and costs.

How does holistic chiropractic care benefit my health?

Holistic chiropractic care provides more than just symptom relief through adjustments. It helps you work with your body's natural physiology for optimal health, leading to a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant version of yourself.

Chiropractor Karawara

Nook Chiropractic is an Applecross practice led by Dr Kyle Duncan, seeing patients from Karawara and across the surrounding area.

The first visit is an assessment rather than an adjustment. If chiropractic care is right for you we will show you how it works; if it is not, we will tell you and point you where to go.

It is a short drive from Karawara to the practice in Applecross — around 11 minutes outside peak.

The trip from Karawara

It is about 11 minutes from Karawara, usually along Canning Highway. Worth knowing before you start, because care is rarely one visit — the practical test is whether the trip still suits you on the fourth appointment, not just the first.

Appointments are available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings and afternoons, Monday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Booking online shows live availability.

From Karawara we see a mix of students, university staff and shift workers, and the common factor is study posture rather than heavy lifting.

Long study hours in a chair that was never set up properly are worth looking at early, while the pattern is still easy to change.

None of that means the assessment is the same every time. It means we start with what your week actually asks of your body, then test rather than assume.

Assessing lower back pain

Lower back pain is the most common reason people book in, and it is rarely as simple as the spot that hurts.

For students and staff around Karawara, long study sessions in a chair that was never set up for it are a common contributor, and it is easier to change early.

We start by testing rather than guessing. If the assessment says chiropractic care is appropriate, we will show you how. If it does not, we will point you where to go.

We would rather assess it first and tell you plainly whether we can help.

A neck that is stiff, sore or not turning properly

Neck pain and restricted movement are among the most common things we assess, and posture is usually part of the picture.

For students around Karawara, laptop height and study hours are usually where this starts, and both are fixable.

You will get a clear explanation of what the assessment showed before anything is recommended.

We would rather assess it first and tell you plainly whether we can help.

Headache assessment for Karawara patients

Where a headache is associated with neck tension or restricted neck movement, that relationship is worth assessing properly.

For students around Karawara, headaches through exam periods and long study blocks are common, and screen and posture habits are part of the assessment.

The assessment establishes whether there is a neck component worth addressing. If there is not, chiropractic care is not the answer.

Book an initial consultation and we will assess it properly before recommending anything.

Assessing neck involvement in migraines

Migraine is a complex neurological condition and it is not something chiropractic care treats. What we can assess is whether the joints and muscles of the neck are contributing to your symptoms.

For students around Karawara, we will assess the neck component and be straight with you about what we can and cannot help with.

If there are warning signs or your presentation is not typical, we refer you for medical assessment. That is not a formality.

Call the practice and we will talk it through before you book anything.

Assessing sciatica and hip symptoms

Sciatic symptoms range from mildly annoying to genuinely limiting, and the assessment needs to establish what is causing them before anything else.

For students around Karawara, long seated hours are a common aggravator, and simple changes to how you study are usually part of the plan.

Where the assessment raises anything that needs medical review, we refer you. Where it does not, we explain what care would involve.

Call the practice and we will talk it through before you book anything.

Questions from Karawara patients

Do you see patients from Karawara?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 11 minutes from Karawara outside peak, generally via Canning 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.

Can I claim on private health insurance?

Chiropractic is covered under extras cover by most Australian health funds, though the rebate depends on your policy and level of cover. Check with your fund, and we can process claims on the spot where your fund supports it.

What should I wear to the appointment?

Something comfortable that you can move in. The assessment involves movement testing, so clothing you can move freely in makes it easier.
