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 Kensington

For patients coming from Kensington, Nook Chiropractic is an assessment-first practice based in Applecross.

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 Kensington to the practice in Applecross — around 14 minutes outside peak.

Kensington to Applecross: what to expect

It is about 14 minutes from Kensington, 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.

The people who come to us from Kensington are usually juggling work and children, and the body complaint arrives on top of an already full week.

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.

Lower back pain and stiffness in Kensington

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

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.

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

A neck that is stiff, sore or not turning properly

Neck symptoms can refer into the shoulder, the arm or the head, which is why the assessment covers more than the sore spot.

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

We assess neck and upper back movement, then explain what we found and whether care is appropriate for you.

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

Tension through the head, jaw and upper neck

Headaches that follow a pattern — end of the work day, after long screen hours, one side more than the other — are worth investigating rather than managing indefinitely.

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

If the assessment suggests your headaches are not related to the neck, we will say so and refer you to your GP.

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

Migraines: what chiropractic assessment can and cannot tell you

If you experience migraines, your GP or neurologist leads that care. Our role is limited to assessing the neck and upper back, where some people have a contributing component.

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

Our role here is narrow and we would rather be clear about it than oversell it.

The starting point is an assessment, not a treatment plan. Book in and we will go from there.

Sciatica: finding where the symptoms come from

Leg symptoms can come from the lower back, the pelvis or the hip, and telling those apart is the point of the assessment.

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

The assessment establishes where your symptoms are coming from, and whether imaging or a medical referral is needed before anything else.

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

Common questions

Do you see patients from Kensington?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 14 minutes from Kensington 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.

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.

Do you see children?

Yes. Care for children uses gentle, low-force technique and a parent stays in the room throughout. Where a child’s presentation is outside what chiropractic care is appropriate for, we refer to your GP or paediatrician.
