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 Karrakatta

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

We do not guess, we test for it. The first appointment is a full spinal and nervous system assessment, and at the Report of Findings visit we go through what we found, whether we can help, and what that would involve including timeline and cost.

Applecross is roughly 15 minutes from Karrakatta outside peak, and we book by appointment so you are not sitting in a waiting room afterwards.

Getting here from Karrakatta

From Karrakatta it is roughly 15 minutes, usually via the Stirling Highway and Canning Bridge. Peak hour will add to that, so most people coming this distance book either the 8am start or Saturday morning and avoid the problem entirely.

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

From Karrakatta we see a lot of parents — carrying toddlers, unloading the car, and gardening on a Sunday that they pay for on the Monday.

Repeated lifting and carrying, often on an already tired body, is a very different picture to a single injury and it gets assessed differently.

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

The first job with lower back pain is working out what is actually driving it, which is why the initial appointment is an assessment rather than an adjustment.

Around Karrakatta it is usually cumulative: carrying children, unloading the car, and a weekend of gardening on a body that has been sitting all week.

The initial consultation is a full assessment: history, movement testing and a nervous system and spinal examination. At the Report of Findings visit we go through what we found, whether we can help, and what that would involve.

If you are not sure whether this is something we can help with, ring us and ask. We will tell you honestly.

Neck pain assessment

Most neck complaints we see have built up gradually, through hours rather than through an incident.

Around Karrakatta, carrying children on one hip and sleeping badly through a busy stretch are both common contributors.

The assessment covers the neck, the mid back and the shoulders, because they rarely act independently.

If you are not sure whether this is something we can help with, ring us and ask. We will tell you honestly.

Assessing headaches in Karrakatta

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

Around Karrakatta, broken sleep and a full week are frequently part of the picture, and it is worth separating that from anything structural.

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.

Migraines and the role of the neck

We will not tell you that chiropractic care fixes migraines. We will tell you whether there is anything in your neck assessment worth addressing alongside your medical care.

Around Karrakatta, the honest position is the same for everyone: we assess the neck, and we tell you plainly whether it looks relevant to your symptoms.

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.

Sciatic symptoms and what to do about them

Sciatica describes symptoms — pain, tingling or numbness travelling down the leg — rather than a diagnosis in itself.

Around Karrakatta, symptoms often start after a lift or a twist and then settle into a pattern, and that history matters at the assessment.

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

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

Frequently asked questions

Do you see patients from Karrakatta?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 15 minutes from Karrakatta outside peak, generally via the Stirling Highway and Canning Bridge. 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.

Is there parking at the practice?

The practice is on Glenelg Street in Applecross. Give us a call if you would like to know the parking arrangements before your first visit.
