NSB Technique
- Strong muscle weakens after AGGRAVATING pain with pressure or range of motion
- PATIENT TLs to ipsilateral acupuncture head Point to negate weakening
- DOCTOR TAPS ACUPUNCTURE HEAD POINT 100-1000 times that negated weakening WHILE AGGRAVATING INJURY EVERY FEW SECONDS or until aggravating pain no longer weakens muscle
- If there is still pain go to SET POINT TECHNIQUE
Set Point Technique
- Patient TLs to point of pain and DOES NOT create weakness.
- PATIENT TLs to point of pain AND TAPING ACUPUNCTURE HEAD POINT and causes weakening
- PATIENT TLs area of pain as DOCTOR TAPS ACUPUNCTURE HEAD POINT 100-1000 times (4 per second)
- Continue until patient TL with doctor tapping NO LONGER weakens strong muscle
