Pain Neutralization Technique

Pain Neutralization Technique (PNT) is a non-pharmacological, non-invasive technique for pain neutralization developed by Dr. Steven Kaufman, DC, LAc. The technique involves gentle tissue manipulation to “turn off” the nerve-based reflexes that perpetuate trigger points and muscle pain and is proving to be particularly effective in the treatment of chronic pain. Light pressure with the finger tips is used. There is little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Trigger points are tiny knots that develop in a muscle when it is overworked or injured. The knots are tight bands of muscle or contraction knots in the muscle tissue. They often feel like nodules and are painful when pressed.
