Kona Pain Institute
Researching neurologic self-regulation for chronic pain elimination
About the Founder
Andrew Arneson, LMT (Lic. 17557) is a uniquely talented medical scientist, the founder and sole practitioner of ANSSR therapy. Arneson is also the founder of a revolutionary behavior science—the science of eliciting healthy behavior—which informs ANSSR therapy. His medical discoveries are best described as spontaneous self-regulation in the autonomic nervous system, an effect of total emotional and physical comfort made possible by Arneson's behavior science.
New medicine
to convert the pain
management industry
to pain elimination:
When you heal your chronic pain,
you make the world a better place.
Traumatic injuries trigger a local, chronic stress response that provokes pain and other symptoms long after the injury heals, including muscle spasms and skeletal misalignment. Pain management methods relax the stress response partially, for temporary pain relief. In contrast, when the stress response is reduced to a critical threshold, previously unknown healing responses erase the injury memory and eliminate chronic symptoms, for permanent pain relief. This is autonomic nervous system self-regulation, which occurs spontaneously, without manipulation of any kind. ANSSR therapy provides predictable access to this natural healing process.

ANSSR
Autonomic nervous system self-regulation℠ (ANSSR) therapy is a new form of natural medicine that activates nervous system healing mechanisms by way of profound comfort. Since the 1990s, pain elimination has been a consistent observation for injury-related chronic pain. Kona Pain Institute is dedicated to the ongoing research and practice of ANSSR therapy.

Due to the predictability of nervous system healing responses, KPI guarantees dramatic improvement. Clients who don't respond as expected are not candidates and will not be charged for service. KPI may determine before, during, or after treatment that a client is not a candidate for ANSSR therapy.

What is Medicine?
Medicine is support for the healing capacity of target body systems. The purpose of medical research is to determine 1) which system needs support, and 2) what form of support. Support equals medical procedure. Proper procedure enables the body to do what it already knows how to do, i.e. natural functioning.
What is Science?
Science is observation of reality for the purpose of learning new information. Scientists discover information new to humanity. Scientific means that people or practices support learning. People are scientific to the extent that they 1) acknowledge data without believing or disbelieving, and 2) insist on personal observation. Belief without observation opposes science.
