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 O'Connor

Nook Chiropractic is an Applecross practice led by Dr Kyle Duncan, seeing patients from O’Connor 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.

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

How far is it from O'Connor?

Allow around 15 minutes from O’Connor outside peak, typically via Canning Highway. 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.

O’Connor is workshops and yards, and the pattern from there is repetitive lifting and long hours on the feet or behind the wheel.

Physical work loads the same structures day after day, so the assessment looks at what the job is asking of you, not just where it hurts.

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: assessment for O'Connor patients

Most lower back pain builds up over time rather than arriving in one moment, even when one particular movement is what set it off.

For people working around O’Connor, repeated lifting, twisting and time behind the wheel all load the lower back, and the assessment takes the job into account.

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.

Neck pain and the way you spend your day

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

For people working around O’Connor, overhead work and long driving hours load the neck differently to desk work, and the assessment reflects that.

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

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

Headache and neck assessment

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.

For people working around O’Connor, headaches after overhead work or long driving days are worth assessing rather than treating with painkillers indefinitely.

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

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

Living with migraines?

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.

For people working around O’Connor, we will look at whether the neck and upper back are involved, and refer where they are not.

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

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

Pain, pins and needles into the leg

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

For people working around O’Connor, lifting and long driving hours are common aggravators, and the assessment looks at the demands of the job.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you see patients from O’Connor?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 15 minutes from O’Connor 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.

Do you offer appointments outside work hours?

There are early morning appointments from 8am on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, late afternoon appointments to 6pm, and Saturday mornings. Those tend to suit people travelling a bit further.
