He’s a 10-year-old boy with migraine headaches and a concurrent diagnosis of ADD.

I checked him for ocular lock (structural distortions when the eyes are placed in certain directions). I found OD's at 12 and 5 o'clock; adjusting sphenoids bilaterally anterior and temporals while he looked in those positions.

His mom then asked me if ocular lock could cause carsickness. I said that it might. She said that his carsickness had become so severe that they always kept bags and coffee cans in the car so he could throw up in them and that it had become very disabling. They were actually seeing a naturopath later that day for the problem.

I asked the boy to visualize being really, really carsick while I tapped the sphenoids bilaterally. They left the office as I wondered if I'd done anything.

After lunch, there was a message on the answering machine. The boy's mother was crying. They had left my office and driven on various errands for an hour without his feeling the least bit sick. In addition, he had talked animatedly the whole time; she said he usually sat in miserable silence during any ride. I don't know if they ever saw the naturopath.
