Our Health
Philosophy

Body as an Orchestra

We treat the whole system, not just the parts.

Root Causes First

Addressing the source, not just masking symptoms.

Build Resilience

Focus on long-term health and stability.

Pain is a Signal

A call for support, not suppression.

"Expert assessment with clear explanations & measurable first-visit impact."

— Pain Solutions

We view your body like an orchestra. If one section is out of tune, the whole symphony suffers. Instead of just silencing the noisy violin—your symptom—we look for the conductor, the root cause. We believe pain is a signal asking for help, not something to simply be suppressed with medication.

Why We're Different

We Fix the Software, Not Just the Hardware

Most treatments focus on the "hardware"—your bones, joints, and muscles. They stretch, crack, massage, and manipulate. But what if the real problem is in your "software"—the neurological signals controlling everything?

Hardware Approach

Traditional treatments that only address the physical structure:

  • Massage the sore spot
  • Crack the stiff joint
  • Strengthen the weak muscle
  • Temporary relief, symptoms return

Software Approach

Afferentology addresses the neurological signals:

  • Find the hidden irritant causing dysfunction
  • Restore proper nerve signals to muscles
  • Reactivate inhibited muscle function
  • Lasting results by fixing the root cause

The "Nail in the Foot" Analogy

Imagine you have a nail in your foot. Your body compensates—you limp, your hip shifts, your back tightens, your shoulder aches.

Traditional treatment might massage your shoulder, adjust your back, or stretch your hip. But the pain keeps returning. Why?

Because nobody found the nail. We find the nail.

What We Look For

  • Old scars disrupting nerve pathways
  • Dental work affecting muscle function
  • Previous injuries creating compensation patterns
  • Hidden afferent irritants others miss

Afferentology: Restoring Your Body's Natural 50Hz Resting Tone

Your muscles maintain a constant 50Hz resting tone—a baseline signal from your nervous system that keeps everything stable and functional. When this signal is disrupted by afferent irritants, muscles become inhibited or hyperactive, leading to pain and dysfunction.

At Pain Solutions, Simon King uses Precision Muscle Testing to identify exactly where your neurological signals are being disrupted. We then eliminate the irritant—not mask the symptom—allowing your body to restore its natural function.

Multi-generational family walking together pain-free in nature

"My right hip had started to cause me a great deal of pain. The first chiropractor told me it was the onset of arthritis which instantly horrified me. I was scared I'd eventually need a hip replacement. I went to see Simon for a second opinion and when he said the pain was linked to my earrings, I was amazed. I took my earrings out at that first session and the pain just went and didn't return. The story sounds weird but it worked!"

Christine Lovell

"As an exercise professional, I was suddenly plagued with acute shoulder pain. Simon diagnosed this as coming from a root filling. Almost a year later, within hours of having the root filling cleaned out my body started to respond and it was as if a knife had been pulled out of my back. 18 months down the line I am now back to full fitness having recently returned from a 200km trek in the Himalayas."

Exercise Professional

"As an ex-rugby player, I had always put the pain in my lower back down to my sporting history. I'd been for lots of treatments over the years, but nothing resolved the issue. After Simon's muscle testing, I had two amalgam crowns removed. To my surprise and relief the pain was removed instantly! Now I am nearly as energetic as I was back in my rugby playing years."

Ex-Rugby Player

"13 years ago, I had a car accident and suffered whiplash, culminating in slipping two discs. I spent thousands on reflexology, Chinese homeopathy... I just wanted something that worked! Simon asked me to do the dumbbell test. My right hand just wouldn't move until he told me to cover my crown, and then yes, I could move it! I had the crown replaced with a non-metal version. I can honestly say my back has improved ten-fold, instantly my strength came back."

Car Accident Survivor

"Dr King's approach is very unique as I have never experienced before. As a Chiropractor myself I was really impressed with his neurological approach. I lifted heavier than ever and without any pain."

Arthur Tovar

Thame

"I was despairing about not getting well. Simon was very reassuring and worked with me to find wellness without more drugs while breastfeeding. A few weeks on, I feel 100% better. Cannot recommend him more highly."
