About the practice
At The Bay Chiro, chiropractic care is personal. Dr K.P. Khumalo (M.Tech. Chiro (SA)) takes time to understand how you live and work before treating neck and back pain, headaches, auto-accident injuries, infant colic and stubborn sports injuries.
Rooted in the Richards Bay community, the practice blends South African clinical training with a warm, family-first approach — so every patient leaves understanding their body better.
Auto-accident injuries
Whiplash and post-collision stiffness need early, measured care — and clear documentation for your claim.
Infant colic & newborn care
Low-force, gentle adjustments can help unsettled babies feed, sleep and settle more comfortably.
Sports & family mobility
From surf shoulder to desk neck, treatment is built around how you move, rest and play.

Richards Bay · KwaZulu-Natal
Dr K.P. Khumalo (M.Tech. Chiro (SA)) leads The Bay Chiro with a straightforward aim: skilled, gentle chiropractic care that feels familiar. His approach suits a newborn with colic as much as a rugby player hoping to get back on the field.
Every visit starts with your health history, posture and movement — not a routine package. Whether the pain follows a car accident on the N2 or a long week at a desk, the care plan is built around what your body is actually telling you.

Ayanda supports spinal decompression sessions and walks patients through home-exercise plans, so recovery continues between visits with confidence.
Patient stories
"After the accident I couldn't turn my head without stiffness. Dr Khumalo treated the whiplash properly — within a few sessions I was driving to work in Empangeni without that constant ache."
Thandiwe Mkhize
"Our son was unsettled for weeks and nothing seemed to help. Dr Khumalo explained every step and kept things gentle — within days the constant crying faded and our little boy was sleeping peacefully."
Nadine Botha
"I pushed through a hamstring injury for months instead of treating it. The rehab-focused plan got me back to weekend football stronger — and taught me how to train without re-injuring it."
