Headaches, Migraine and Other Physical Symptoms

Headaches, migraine, stomach-aches, dizziness, nausea and fatigue are some of the physical symptoms that may be helped by the Irlen® Method.

People may experience the following:

Headaches and migraine may be caused by stress and environmental factors may trigger the stress. The Irlen® Method eliminates the environmental factors that may be the trigger factor for the stress and the cause of the headaches and migraine. Stress headaches and migraine, without medical causes may be related to light sensitivity and visually intensive activities, may be eliminated with Irlen® Coloured Filters. Many people who suffer from tension or stress-induced headaches are unaware that environmental factors may be triggering the stress and that they can be helped. Headaches are often misunderstood and not always taken seriously. They may be thought of as an excuse for students or adults to get out of work.

It is important to check with your doctor to exclude any other serious medical conditions which might be causing your headaches.
