Resolving Uncertainty: A Clinical Residency In Afferentology

STARTS MARCH 2nd 2026

As Chiropractors, we were all raised on DD Palmer’s classic principle: “Life is the expression of tone.” But if you’re like me, you’ve had those days where you feel more like a Panel Beater than a doctor. You find a fixation, you deliver a beautiful adjustment – only to have the patient return 48 hours later with the exact same problem.

The hardware looks better, but the software hasn’t changed.

The Shift: From Mechanic to Data Analyst

You already get great results with some people and lots of happy customers, but there are some that just do not respond as anticipated AND will eventually drop out looking for someone else. Afferentology lets you look deeper when you have to.

Traditional adjusting often tries to force the body into a state of health. Afferentology recognises that a joint fixation isn’t a mistake—it’s the result of interference. Our innate reaction to interference is an attempt at homeostasis made by the brain in response to bad sensory input.

By using Precision Muscle Testing, I will show you how to find bad sensory input by testing motor output.

You’ll learn:
How to identify the specific Afferent irritants that are hijacking the natural and normal state of muscle tone.
Why the Spindle Paradox means most of our “stretch and strengthen” advice is actually making the “tension” worse.
How to make sure your patient is ready and able to benefit from your adjustment and exactly which adjustment will give them the most benefit.

If you’ve been looking for a way to bridge the gap between Palmer’s original “Tonal” vision and modern 21st-century neuromechanics, this is it.

Best,
Simon King
