The easy way to test for inflammation: Thermography
One of the best tools we have for visualising inflammation is thermography – and detecting it early could save your life! Inflammation is a precursor to many diseases – arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and cancer, just to name a few.
What Is Thermography?
Thermography is a “temperature map” of your body. It’s made by taking a series of scans with a art digital infrared camera and interpreted by a trained professional. It is painless and radiation-free, there is n contact with your body and the camera and there’s no confining spaces like those used for MRIs and CTs.
In addition to detecting inflammation, thermography is extremely useful for identifying neurological, vascular and circulatory dysfunction, and revealing injury to muscles and bones.
What the Images Show
Normal images show symmetrical patterns: temperatures will be the same on both sides of the body. Differences in temperature tell us that something is wrong. Heat and cold patterns and the patterns and placements of these temperatures over the body gives an accurate view of what is happening within the body.
A thermal scan of your entire body can show other health problems in their very early stages – before many conventional screening methods are able to. Inflammation detected in the carotid arteries can alert to the need for more specific tests followed by treatments, helping you prevent a stroke or heart attack. Thermal imaging of the joints may show early signs of arthritis that can be addressed sooner rather than later, preventing further degeneration.
Are you complaining of pain but all testing you have tried provides no answers? Thermography can validate your complaints, as well as document the efficacy of therapies such as chiropractic, massage, healing touch, acupuncture and more.
Having a baseline full body scan can be useful even for the healthiest person and is recommended for everyone – a standard for recognizing any injuries, pathologies or other changes that emerge over time.
