Jacob Weaver suffered with severe migraines for 10 years. It started when he was 6. The migraines were debilitating. Several times a month Jacob was sidelined with severe pain, sweats and vomiting. This went on for a decade and stole much of his childhood. Jacob and his family had to re-work activities around Jacob’s migraine episodes. Doctors ran multiple tests and found nothing. They insisted he would “grow out of it”. At 16 the dentist recommended an orthodontic check-up. Jacob’s mom Denise took him to see Dr Tammy Balatgek. Jacob’s exam with Dr Tammy revealed his jaw was misaligned and his trigeminal nerve was pinched. TMJ was the cause of his migraines. Within a month of wearing the specially designed retainer that Dr Tammy created Jacob’s migraines were less frequent. Within two months the migraines were gone!
