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 Peppermint Grove

Nook Chiropractic is an Applecross practice led by Dr Kyle Duncan, seeing patients from Peppermint Grove 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 16 minutes from Peppermint Grove outside peak, and we book by appointment so you are not sitting in a waiting room afterwards.

Peppermint Grove to Applecross: what to expect

Allow around 16 minutes from Peppermint Grove outside peak, typically via Stirling 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.

People who come to us from Peppermint Grove tend to be active on the river — walking and running the foreshore path, cycling, golf, or out on the water.

Repetitive activity like running, cycling or golf loads one side of the body more than the other, which is worth checking before it becomes the reason you stop.

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 Peppermint Grove patients

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.

For active people around Peppermint Grove, lower back complaints often show up after a change in load — more kilometres, a new bike setup, or getting back into golf after a break.

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.

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

Neck pain, restricted movement and desk posture

Neck pain and restricted movement are among the most common things we assess, and posture is usually part of the picture.

Around Peppermint Grove, cycling position and swimming are common contributors, and both are adjustable once you know what is loading what.

You will get a clear explanation of what the assessment showed before anything is recommended.

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

Tension through the head, jaw and upper neck

Not all headaches are the same, and the useful first step is working out what kind you are dealing with.

Around Peppermint Grove, headaches that arrive after a long ride or an intense training block are worth assessing rather than waiting out.

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

Call the practice and we will talk it through before you book 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 active people around Peppermint Grove, we assess whether neck movement and load are involved. Where they are not, chiropractic care is not the right answer and we will say so.

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

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

Sciatica and leg symptoms

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

Around Peppermint Grove, symptoms that come on during or after running or cycling need the hip and pelvis assessed as well as the lower back.

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 Peppermint Grove?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 16 minutes from Peppermint Grove outside peak, generally via Stirling 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 to bring imaging or scans?

Bring them if you have them, along with any relevant reports. If the assessment indicates imaging is needed and you do not have any, we will arrange a referral rather than proceeding without 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.
