My main theory is that Amon simply blocks on of the 7 chakras, specifically the Crown chakra located on top of your head. That chakra is the spiritual chakra, it transcends the physical world, it represents a connection to the spirit world. By blocking this chakra, it effectively disables one's ability to bend, because in order to bend you need to be fully connected spiritually. But I believe only air benders (through meditation) and perhaps the Avatar posses the knowledge of re-aligning one's Chakra.

Only through energybending are you capable of permanent removing the ability to bend elements. Amon certainly cannot energybend, only the Lion Turtle posses the knowledge to teach this ability, and he won't give it to people for malice.
