Targeted myofascial dry needling, ischaemic trigger point compression, and soft tissue release just 4 km from Morningside, Windermere, and Durban Central at Spark Medical Centre in Overport.
Sustained computer work in Durban Central and Morningside offices, combined with gym training or road running around Kings Park and the beachfront, commonly creates hyperirritable trigger points in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, infraspinatus, gluteals, and calves. These contracted muscle knots restrict range of motion and refer dull, throbbing pain into the head, arm, or leg.

Patients often ask
Can I return to office work in Morningside or the CBD straight after dry needling?
Yes. You may feel a mild, gym-like ache in the treated muscle for 24 to 48 hours, but you can drive and return to desk work immediately after your appointment.
How should I prepare before attending for dry needling?
Have a light meal 1 to 2 hours beforehand, stay hydrated, wear loose clothing that allows easy access to the shoulder, back, or leg muscles, and inform Dr Khumalo of any blood-thinning medications.
