Thermography Clinic with Janice
About the Appointment
THERMOGRAPHY CLINIC (45 or 60 min session) Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging, or more commonly known as Thermography, is a non-invasive test using an infrared camera to measure and pinpoint abnormal thermal changes within the body. The camera gauges body tissue heat energy that is then reflected on a high-speed computer for imaging. Generally, problem areas show high temperatures due to increased blood flow and increased metabolic activity. The recording of these thermal patterns of the body are used to aid in diagnosing and/or monitor inflammation, pain or illness in any part of the body. Unlike more familiar medical tests such as X-ray, mammogram or ultrasound, and MRI, which are tests of anatomy or structure, Thermography is a test of physiology. Thermal changes are often the earliest sign of vascular disease, immune dysfunction, and systemic inflammation. To the individual, Thermography can help visualize pain and inflammation and give a red flag warning to areas of concern whether or not symptoms are actually present. The scan is harmless, non-invasive, no radiation, economical, medically approved technology, and requires only a minimal amount of your time. HealthSCAN has helped many patients get to the cause of their condition so proper treatment can be rendered. Available scans; Breast scan, Wellness Scan (pelvic area to top of head) Full Body Scan Thermography appointment non-refundable once purchased. NO Gift card accepted for this service.
