 Full Body Thermography

Research shows that chronic inflammation is at the root of many of the diseases that negatively affect our lives today, including cancers, heart disease, joint disease and diabetes. Thermal imaging is the best technology for showing inflammation in the body. Detecting this chronic inflammation at the earliest possible stage allows for the opportunity to address the problem and take measures to treat these changes before they become more serious. Annual screening with regional or full body thermography can determine whether inflammatory changes are taking place or if known conditions are changing or becoming chronic.

​Regional and full body thermal scans can also be quite useful in assessing and monitoring pain, inflammatory states such as infections, joint degeneration, soft tissue injuries, nerve pain and pain resulting from suboptimal blood flow to an area.  It can be used to assess dental pain to look for sub-clinical infection, nerve involvement or TMJ pain.  It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment regimens.

​Regional and full body scans are not useful as a 'stand alone' screening test for cancer, however abnormal findings may serve as an early indicator or lead to follow-up with other testing more appropriate to diagnosing cancers or the presence of chronic inflammation in that particular region of the body.
 
It is important to remember that no test is 100% accurate and in the presence of abnormal changes in the body, no one test should be used as the sole basis to make treatment decisions.

How to prepare for a regional or full body thermogram:

  • For 24 hours prior to your scan – avoid heavy exercise, massage or chiropractic adjustments, sauna or steam rooms.
  •  
  • For 2 hours prior to your scan - avoid exercise, hot or cold showering, tobacco use, coffee and tea consumption. Do not shave under your arms or use deodorant, skin creams or lotion in the areas to be imaged. Avoid sun exposure the day of the test. You should not have had a sunburn or used a tanning booth within a week of your test for best results.
  • No changes in diet or medication are necessary.

Procedure

The test takes approximately thirty minutes. You will be asked to remove all clothing and jewelry, except for your underpants. A gown will be supplied. Please bring a hair clip to keep your hair off of your shoulders if it is long. The thermographer will review your history and regional/full body questionnaire with you prior to your scan. Please inform the thermographer if you have had any recent skin lesions (rashes, cuts or abrasions) on your breasts, as the inflammation might result in inconclusive findings.​
After discussing your history and answering any questions you might have, a series of images will be taken of the regions of interest. The procedure is entirely non-invasive. There is no contact with the body at any time and the camera emits no radiation.
 
You are welcome to bring a companion or partner to be present at the examination.


Price for the first region is $215
Each additional region is $100
The price for a full body thermogram is $395
