Tap any topic below for medical aid rules (including SAMWUMED & POLMED), what to wear, previous scans, and urgent red-flag symptoms.

Medical Aid & SAMWUMED / POLMED Rules Medical Schemes

Bring your valid medical aid membership card and South African ID or passport to reception.
We accept most South African medical schemes (Discovery Health, GEMS, Bonitas, Momentum, Bestmed, Medihelp, Medshield, Bankmed, Sizwe Hosmed, UKZN, and Sasolmed) subject to available out-of-hospital or savings benefits.
SAMWUMED Members: Please obtain a GP referral letter prior to your chiropractic consultation, as SAMWUMED requires a doctor's referral for claim reimbursement.
POLMED Members: Chiropractic benefits are covered on the POLMED Marine option; please verify your active benefit allocation before attending.

Previous X-Rays, Scans & Reports Diagnostic Records

Bring copies, digital links, or radiologist reports of any previous spinal or joint X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or diagnostic ultrasound investigations.
Bring referral letters or clinical summaries from your general practitioner, orthopaedic surgeon, neurologist, or physiotherapist if you have been co-managed.
Note the approximate dates of any previous road accidents, workplace injuries, sports traumas, or spinal/joint surgeries.

What to Wear & First Visit Assessment First Visit Assessment

Wear comfortable, flexible clothing (such as tracksuits, leggings, shorts, or a loose t-shirt) that allows unhindered spinal, shoulder, hip, and knee movement during orthopaedic testing.
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled slot to complete your new-patient clinical intake and POPIA consent documentation.
Be prepared to describe where your pain started, whether it radiates into the arm or leg, and which daily postures or movements aggravate or relieve it.

Dry Needling & Medication Disclosures Clinical Safety

Inform Dr Khumalo if you are taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication, have a bleeding disorder, or have diabetes or compromised immune function prior to dry needling.
Disclose if you are currently pregnant or might be pregnant so that positioning, table modifications, and needling zones can be safely adapted.
Eat a light meal 1 to 2 hours before your visit and stay well hydrated, particularly if myofascial dry needling is planned for deep muscle spasms.

Satellite & Pop-Up Clinic Bookings Multi-Location Access

Durban Overport consultations run Monday to Friday (09:00–17:00) and Saturdays (08:00–15:00) at Spark Lifestyle Centre, 5th Floor Medical Suite.
KwaDukuza (Stanger) clinic runs every Monday from 09:00 to 19:00 at KwaDukuza Mall.
Monthly outreach clinics in Empangeni, Pongola, Jozini, Ulundi, Mthatha, and Matatiele operate strictly by pre-booked appointment — always confirm exact monthly dates via WhatsApp (063 265 1223) before travelling.

Red-Flag Symptoms & Urgent Care Urgent Triage

Seek immediate hospital emergency care (10177 / 112) rather than waiting for an outpatient booking if you develop sudden loss of bladder or bowel control or numbness in the groin/saddle area (possible cauda equina syndrome).
Proceed to an emergency unit immediately following high-impact trauma, a severe motor vehicle collision, or a fall with suspected spinal fracture.
Alert Dr Khumalo promptly if you experience progressive limb weakness, unexplained fever with severe spinal pain, or sudden neurological changes.
