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 Salter Point

Nook Chiropractic is an Applecross practice led by Dr Kyle Duncan, seeing patients from Salter Point 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.

We are only a few minutes from Salter Point, so an appointment does not have to take up half your day.

The trip from Salter Point

Salter Point is close enough that the trip is barely a consideration. That matters more than it sounds — a plan of care usually involves several visits over a few weeks, and the ones people abandon are the ones that are inconvenient. From Salter Point it is a short run to Glenelg Street.

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

People from Salter Point usually come in because something has started interrupting the walk, the round of golf or the morning ride.

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.

Assessing lower back pain

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

For active people around Salter Point, 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.

You get an assessment first and a clear explanation second, including the expected timeline and cost, so you can decide from there.

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

Assessing neck pain in Salter Point

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

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

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

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

Assessing headaches in Salter Point

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 Salter Point, 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.

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

Migraine assessment for Salter Point patients

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 active people around Salter Point, 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.

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

Assessing sciatica and hip symptoms

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

Around Salter Point, 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.

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

Questions from Salter Point patients

Do you see patients from Salter Point?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 8 minutes from Salter Point 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.

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 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.
