Combined myofascial dry needling, ischaemic compression, and chiropractic joint care for stubborn muscle spasms and trigger points — just 7 km (10 minutes via the N3) from Westville, Sherwood, and Reservoir Hills.
When a spinal or peripheral joint is strained, surrounding muscles contract into protective guarding to splint the area. Over time, these contracted bands form myofascial trigger points that remain tight even after the initial sprain heals. For patients commuting from Westville, Sherwood, Clare Estate, and Reservoir Hills, Dr Bongeka Khumalo provides targeted dry needling and manual myofascial release at Spark Medical Centre in Overport.

Patients often ask
Is dry needling billed separately or included in my chiropractic consultation?
When clinically indicated, dry needling and myofascial trigger point therapy are integrated as part of your chiropractic consultation and billed under standard medical aid or private consultation tariffs.
What should I do at home in Westville after a dry needling session?
Drink plenty of water, apply a warm pack for 15 to 20 minutes in the evening to soothe post-needling stiffness, and perform the gentle stretches demonstrated by Dr Khumalo.
