Pain neutralization technique 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.
PNT gently uses a specific stimulation, accurate positioning, and light pressure by hand to activate a certain reflex. The stimulated muscle relaxes and tenderness of the trigger point is relieved. This can resolve long-term symptoms that were exacerbated by that trigger point.
