Thermography
Thermography is simply a photograph taken with an infrared camera. This unique, non-invasive image shows the thermal pattern of the object being imaged. Just like contractors use thermal images to detect problems in homes, both suspected and unknown, thermography technicians can image the human body to find inflammation. Steps can then be taken to resolve the issues that have been detected. Sometimes the problem is more advanced but sometimes the problem is small, and steps can be taken to ensure further damage is not done. Imaging can also be done in conjunction with the treatment giving a visual image of the progress being made in the healing. Thermography can be done on any part of the body not covered in hair but is most commonly used for breast imaging.
SERVICE OPTIONS:
Breast – $200/1 hour
Includes 8 images of your breasts at all angles. Breast imaging is especially important as it evaluates inflammatory changes that may indicate unhealthy breasts. It is at the inflammatory stage that simple proactive protocols may help clear the inflammation and support the return of your breasts to a healthier state. Breast health education included with your visit.
Women’s/Men’s Health With Abdomen – $400/1.5 hours
Our best value and most popular! Includes 8 images of breast plus head and neck views to examine for thermal indications of allergies, sinus problems, headaches, dental/gum issues, thyroid and carotid artery inflammation. In addition, we examine the chest, upper back and abdomen to evaluate the liver, spleen, reproductive organs and digestion. We then view the entire trunk from head to waist to spot patterns that may travel through your body.
Full Body – $600/2 hours
We image you from head to toe! This imaging captures everything that is included in the Women’s/Men’s Health With Abdomen option, plus adds the arms, hands, legs and feet. A full body scan is very important because of the potential to see so much in the arms and legs. In addition, the interpreting physician will evaluate thermal indications of possible blood sugar challenges (sometimes seen in the hands) and can monitor varicosities in the legs. The feet are important to image as we see thermal indications of heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, weight transfer problems and more. It’s a complete scan that is kept on file for 7 years for comparison and indicates places in the body that you and your health care provider need to keep an eye on and further evaluate.
