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 Melville

Nook Chiropractic sees patients from Melville at our Glenelg Street practice 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 Melville to the practice in Applecross — around 12 minutes outside peak.

Travel time and appointment times

From Melville the practice is roughly 12 minutes outside peak, generally via Canning Highway or Leach Highway. That is short enough that a run of appointments over a few weeks is realistic rather than something you talk yourself out of by week three, which is usually the difference between a plan working and not.

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

People we see from Melville are typically fitting an appointment between work and school pick-up.

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 Melville

Lower back pain has a lot of possible sources — joints, discs, muscles, and the way you load them day after day.

Around Melville 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.

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

Neck and upper back care for Melville patients

A stiff or painful neck often has as much to do with the mid back and shoulders as with the neck itself.

Around Melville, 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.

Headaches and upper neck tension

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

Around Melville, 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.

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

Migraines: what chiropractic assessment can and cannot tell you

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.

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

We assess the neck and upper back only, and we work alongside your GP rather than instead of them.

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

Assessing sciatica and hip symptoms

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

Around Melville, 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.

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

Common questions

Do you see patients from Melville?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 12 minutes from Melville 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.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No. Chiropractors are registered health practitioners in Australia and you can book directly. If you have a GP or specialist involved in your care we are happy to work alongside them, and we will refer you back to them where that is the right call.

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.
