- Place your fingers on your head where highlighted in the illustration to the right.
- Firmly clench your teeth.
- You will feel the temporalis muscle bulging under your fingertips.
- These muscles trigger most migraine and tension-type headache pain.
This simple experiment shows how the NTI works.
Remember how the temporalis muscles bulged when you clenched your teeth?
Now, put a pencil between your upper and lower front teeth and bite down. The temporalis muscles don't bulge.
This simple experiment demonstrates how an NTI (in place of the pencil) prevents migraines and clenching related to head pain. |
