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 South Fremantle

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

South Fremantle is around 22 minutes away, so it is worth choosing a time that avoids the traffic — early morning and Saturday appointments tend to suit best.

Travel time and appointment times

Expect around 22 minutes from South Fremantle, usually via Canning Highway, and more in traffic. It is a real drive, so it is worth a phone call before you book. If we are not the right fit for what you need, we will point you somewhere that is.

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

South Fremantle is an active, walkable part of Perth, and most people we see from there are keen to stay that way.

Standing all day and being active on top of it puts load through the lower back and hips, and that combination is worth assessing properly.

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 South Fremantle 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.

Around South Fremantle, standing all day at work and being active afterwards is a common combination, and the lower back tends to be where it shows.

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.

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

Assessing neck pain in South Fremantle

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

Around South Fremantle, work that involves reaching, carrying and looking down for hours tends to show up in the neck and upper back.

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.

Headaches and upper neck tension

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.

Around South Fremantle, long shifts on the feet and irregular sleep both feature, so the assessment looks at the whole week rather than a single trigger.

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.

Migraine and upper cervical assessment

Migraine and neck symptoms often occur together. Whether one relates to the other is an assessment question, and an honest answer sometimes means referring you back to your doctor.

Around South Fremantle, as anywhere, we will assess the neck and give you a direct answer about whether it is relevant.

If there are warning signs or your presentation is not typical, we refer you for medical assessment. That is not a formality.

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

Sciatic symptoms and what to do about them

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

Around South Fremantle, hours on the feet and physical work both load the lower back and pelvis, and both are part of the assessment.

Where the assessment raises anything that needs medical review, we refer you. Where it does not, we explain what care would involve.

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

Questions from South Fremantle patients

Do you see patients from South Fremantle?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 22 minutes from South Fremantle 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.

What are your opening hours?

Monday afternoons, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings and afternoons, and Saturday mornings. Exact times are on the contact page, and the online booking system shows live availability.
