Chiropractor South Perth

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

It is a short drive from South Perth to the practice in Applecross — around 12 minutes outside peak.

Travel time and appointment times

From South Perth the practice is roughly 12 minutes outside peak, generally via Canning Highway. That is short enough that a run of appointments over a few weeks is realistic rather than something you talk yourself out of by week three, which is usually the difference between a plan working and not.

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

From South Perth we tend to see active people whose complaint is that something is getting in the way of a routine they like.

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, and what we look at first

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 active people around South Perth, 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.

Stiff neck? Here is what we look at

A stiff or painful neck often has as much to do with the mid back and shoulders as with the neck itself.

Around South Perth, 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.

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

Assessing headaches in South Perth

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 Perth, 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.

Migraines, and where we fit

We will not tell you that chiropractic care fixes migraines. We will tell you whether there is anything in your neck assessment worth addressing alongside your medical care.

For active people around South Perth, 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.

Call the practice and we will talk it through before you book 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 South Perth, symptoms that come on during or after running or cycling need the hip and pelvis assessed as well as the lower back.

We test the lower back, pelvis and hip, then explain what we found and whether we can help.

Frequently asked questions

Do you see patients from South Perth?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 12 minutes from South Perth 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 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 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.
