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 Northbridge

Nook Chiropractic sees patients from Northbridge 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.

Applecross is roughly 18 minutes from Northbridge outside peak, and we book by appointment so you are not sitting in a waiting room afterwards.

The trip from Northbridge

Allow around 18 minutes from Northbridge outside peak, typically via the Kwinana Freeway and the Narrows. If you are coming from that side of the river, the early morning slots from 8am and the Saturday morning session tend to work better than trying to fit it around the afternoon traffic.

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

People coming to us from Northbridge are usually in professional roles with long seated days and a commute stacked on top.

Sustained sitting tends to load the neck, upper back and hips in a predictable way, so that is where the assessment starts.

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 what we look at first

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

For people coming from Northbridge, the usual contributor is hours of sitting rather than a single lift — which is why the assessment looks at hips and mid back as well as the lower back itself.

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.

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

Neck and upper back care for Northbridge patients

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

From Northbridge this is the most common presentation we see. Screen height, a shoulder bag and long meetings load the neck and upper back in a fairly predictable pattern.

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

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

Headache assessment for Northbridge patients

Headaches have many possible causes. Some involve the joints and muscles of the upper neck, and those are the ones a chiropractic assessment can look at.

For people from Northbridge with a desk-based week, headaches that build through the afternoon and ease on the weekend are a pattern worth mentioning at the assessment.

We assess the joints and muscles of the neck and upper back, and we are clear about the limits of what that tells us.

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

Migraines and the role of the neck

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 people from Northbridge, we will look at whether the neck and upper back are contributing. If your assessment does not point that way, we will tell you and refer you back to your doctor.

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

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

Leg symptoms that start in the back

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

For people from Northbridge, prolonged sitting is a common aggravator of these symptoms, and the assessment includes how your working day is set up.

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

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

Questions from Northbridge patients

Do you see patients from Northbridge?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 18 minutes from Northbridge outside peak, generally via the Kwinana Freeway and the Narrows. 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.

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.
