What are some of the things it can detect?

• Many types of cancers detected years before other imaging machines can
• Carotid artery blockages
• Nerve impingements
• Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• Muscle spasms, tightness and pulls
• And many more illnesses and diseases too numerous to name

How can you tell what is going on inside the body by taking a Thermography picture of the outside?

Your body is equipped with vents that release excess heat. Organs, glands, nerves, etc. all contain places that vent. A Thermologist can tell by the locations, size and color, which vent is releasing excess or less than normal amounts of heat. In return, we can tell if there are malfunctions, tumors or injury and where.

How is Thermography Different from X-Rays, MRI’s and CAT Scans?

The latter types of equipment measure the body structure, not the physiological processes. Since disease and illness have an inflammatory process, Thermography can pinpoint these conditions and can even be used to prevent damage before it occurs. Thermography is also completely safe, even less invasive than ultrasound.

How can Thermography help me?

• Can be used as an aid to help your treatments whether you are having Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy or even cortisone injections. Your practitioner can use Thermography to focus in on your treatments, giving quicker and better results.
• Thermography is used as a general screening aid to detect early diseases, illnesses, and injuries.
• Can be used to monitor your current treatments to evaluate how your treatments are progressing.

How often should someone have Thermograms?

• For breast screening, you need to have an initial scan, then a second one at 90 days for a base line. Then once a year thereafter.
• For many pain conditions, one before a treatment program so you can evaluate its progress and to help aid treatments.
• For overall health monitoring, a screening once a year is optimal.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can decide to have a full scan for your overall health or just areas that concern you. Once you have a scan, you may want to take it with you to your next doctor appointment to help direct treatment.
