Request an AppointmentHow Thermography Works
Thermography is 100% safe because it doesn’t put anything into the body. Instead, it measures and records the temperatures radiating off the body’s surface, making it appropriate for everyone, including pregnant women, newborns, children, teens, and adults.
Reading a Thermogram
The colors on a thermogram provide important information about tissue health. Cooler colors like purples, blues, and turquoise typically represent normal, healthy tissue. Green indicates tissue that’s beginning to heat up, while yellow and red are warning colors that suggest tissue is transitioning from normal to abnormal, warranting closer attention.
What Thermography Can Help Monitor
Thermography can be performed on virtually any area of the body, including the head, hands, feet, and back. It’s commonly used to help monitor breast health, cardiovascular concerns, thyroid inflammation, musculoskeletal issues, deep varicose veins, sinus and allergy patterns, digestive disorders, dental challenges, and hand or foot pain. For example, thyroid problems can sometimes be identified by watching how heat drains from the thyroid area down toward the heart.
Who Should Consider Thermography?
If you’re interested in an additional layer of early insight into your health, particularly around breast health or an area of ongoing concern, thermography can be a valuable, non-invasive addition to your care plan. It pairs well with our toxicity testing and bio-energetic testing services for a more complete picture of your health.
