What we can help with
Most people come in with back or neck pain, but that’s not all we see. Every first visit starts with a proper assessment, so you don’t need to know which treatment you need.
Adjustments & spinal care
For stiff, locked or painful joints in the neck, mid-back, lower back and pelvis.
Back pain, neck pain & sciatica
Lower back ache, a stiff neck, or pain and tingling running down an arm or leg.
Dry needling & soft tissue work
Releases tight knots and spasm in the shoulders, back and hips when stretching alone won’t.
Sports injuries, shoulders & knees
Shoulder impingement, knee pain, Achilles trouble, sprains and getting back to training.
Headaches, posture & jaw pain
Tension headaches, desk-bound necks and jaw clenching, eased through the upper neck and jaw.
TENS & Activator adjustments
Gentle, low-force options if you’d rather not have your back “cracked”.
Stretching & mobility rehab
Assisted stretching and simple home exercises to keep you moving between visits.
Pregnancy & long-term pain
Adapted care for pregnancy back and pelvic pain, arthritis, spondylosis and pain that keeps coming back.
Meet Dr Khumalo
Dr Bongeka Khumalo holds a Master’s in Chiropractic from the Durban University of Technology and is registered with the AHPCSA (A12499).
She sees people with back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, shoulder and knee problems and sports injuries. A first visit starts with listening and examining how you move, and only then deciding what treatment makes sense.
Alongside her rooms in Overport she runs a weekly clinic in Stanger and monthly clinics across KZN and the Eastern Cape, so people outside Durban don’t have to travel far.
Techniques she uses
- Spinal manipulation and mobilisation
- Dry needling
- Soft tissue and trigger-point therapy
- Activator (instrument) adjustments
- TENS for pain relief
- PNF stretching and rehab exercises
You can consult in English, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Setswana, Sesotho or siSwati.

Questions people ask
Is spinal manipulation painful, and what causes the popping sound?
Spinal manipulation is controlled and generally relieves tension rather than causing pain. The brief popping sound (cavitation) is simply the release of tiny gas bubbles inside the lubricating synovial fluid of the joint as normal pressure and motion are restored — it is not bones rubbing together.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need to feel relief?
The number of sessions depends on how long the condition has been present, tissue irritability, and daily workload. Acute mechanical stiffness often responds within 2 to 4 consultations, whereas long-standing postural or disc-related complaints may require a structured rehabilitation block with progressive spacing between visits.
Can I have chiropractic treatment if I do not want my neck or back manually cracked?
Yes. Please inform Dr Khumalo of your preference during the assessment. We routinely use gentle graded joint mobilisation, handheld Activator instrument adjustments, myofascial release, dry needling, and PNF stretching that require zero manual twisting or cavitation.
Should I get X-rays taken before booking my first chiropractic appointment?
Routine X-rays are not required before booking unless you have already had them done, in which case you should bring them along. After examining you, Dr Khumalo will advise if diagnostic X-rays or further imaging are clinically indicated and provide a referral letter.
