What is Thermography?
Thermography is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that utilizes sophisticated infrared cameras and computer systems to capture detailed images of your body’s heat patterns. This method helps evaluate:
- Circulation
- Inflammation
- Neurological Function
Benefits of Thermography
- Early Illness Detection
- Tumor and Abnormal Cellular Activity Detection
- Pain & Injury Identification
- Radiation-Free Screening
- Visible Detection of Health Issues
Suitable for both adults and children, thermography provides valuable data without exposing you to radiation or requiring physical contact.
How Can Thermography Help You?
Thermography can detect early warning signs of cancer up to 8 to 10 years before other screening methods. It also identifies:
- Neurological issues like migraines, fibromyalgia, and neuropathy
- Chronic pain, muscle spasms, and nerve damage
- Thyroid conditions, colon health, and more
Safety and Accuracy of Thermography
Is Thermography Safe?
Yes, thermography is completely safe, even for pregnant and nursing women. It uses infrared technology to capture precise images of your body’s heat patterns without any radiation exposure, pain, or contact.
Is Thermography Accurate?
Absolutely. Thermography can detect abnormal cell activity earlier than many other tests, revealing indications of breast disease, inflammation, and other health issues with high accuracy.
