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 Swanbourne

Nook Chiropractic is an Applecross practice led by Dr Kyle Duncan, seeing patients from Swanbourne 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 19 minutes from Swanbourne outside peak, and we book by appointment so you are not sitting in a waiting room afterwards.

How far is it from Swanbourne?

Allow around 19 minutes from Swanbourne outside peak, typically via the Stirling Highway and Canning Bridge. 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.

Most people we see from Swanbourne are in the middle of family life — school runs, kids’ sport on the weekend, and lifting things that are heavier than they look.

Repeated lifting and carrying, often on an already tired body, is a very different picture to a single injury and it gets assessed differently.

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 Swanbourne patients

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

Around Swanbourne it is usually cumulative: carrying children, unloading the car, and a weekend of gardening on a body that has been sitting all week.

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.

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

Neck and upper back care for Swanbourne patients

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

Around Swanbourne, carrying children on one hip and sleeping badly through a busy stretch are both common contributors.

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

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

Headaches: what we check

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 Swanbourne, broken sleep and a full week are frequently part of the picture, and it is worth separating that from anything structural.

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

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

Migraine care alongside your GP

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.

Around Swanbourne, the honest position is the same for everyone: we assess the neck, and we tell you plainly whether it looks relevant to your symptoms.

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.

Sciatica assessment for Swanbourne patients

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

Around Swanbourne, symptoms often start after a lift or a twist and then settle into a pattern, and that history matters at 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 we get asked

Do you see patients from Swanbourne?

Yes. The practice is in Applecross, roughly 19 minutes from Swanbourne outside peak, generally via the Stirling Highway and Canning Bridge. 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.

What happens at the first appointment?

The initial consultation is a full assessment: your history, movement testing, and a spinal and nervous system examination. You are not committing to a course of care by booking it. At the Report of Findings visit we explain what we found and what the options are, including timeline and cost, and you decide from there.

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.
