Thermography Screening
Early detection can save lives! Thermography can detect the early stages of many diseases.
For the longest time, inflammation was not recognized as the cause for many chronic diseases. Today, the medical industry acknowledges that inflammation can lead to diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
The good news, however, is that early detection of inflammation may help you prevent many negative health conditions from developing. Breast Thermography has been particularly beneficial in the early detection of breast cancer. By carefully examining changes in the temperature and blood vessels of the breasts, signs of possible cancer or pre-cancerous cell growth may be detected years prior to being discovered using any other procedure. This provides for the earliest detection of abnormal breast tissue possible. Because of the extreme sensitivity of breast thermography, these temperature variations and vascular changes may be among the earliest signs of breast cancer and/or a pre-cancerous state of the breast.
How It Works
Thermal imaging or thermography uses ultra-sensitive scanning-type infrared camera that measures your body surface temperature, presenting the information as a digitized image. A combination of infrared cameras and computers are used to detect, analyze, and produce high-resolution images of these temperature and patterns—patterns that may detect some condition or abnormality. The procedure is both comfortable and safe using no radiation or compression.
At The Body-N- Balance we recommend this procedure to our clients because measuring inflammation through thermal imaging is a proactive, preventative method you can use for detecting disease, which significantly improves your chances for longevity and good health.
Our clients love it because unlike most diagnostic tests, thermal imaging is:
- Painless
- Non-invasive
- Quick – your multi-image exams usually take less than 15 minutes...
Thermography is also used to detect:
- Arthritis:Thermography can help you detect early signs of arthritis -- and differentiate between osteoarthritis and more severe forms like rheumatoid. Effective early treatment strategies can then be implemented, before you experience further degeneration.
- Neck and Back Pain: Thermal pain patterns ‘light up' white and red hot on a scan in the involved area. You can get relief faster and begin restorative care that more precisely targets the correct area.
- Sinus Issues & Headaches: Significant heat in your forehead or sinus region revealed on a thermal scan is an indicator that these systems in your body are not functioning properly.
Immune Dysfunction, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue: The immune system correlates to the T1 andT2 areas of your spine -- high levels of heat in that region can indicate immune dysfunction. On the other hand, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and aching joints are just a few complaints that correlate to cool patterns seen at this area.- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS):This condition is often misdiagnosed. For instance, you may think you have CTS, yet the scan shows your neck is referring pain from a different affected area. This will help you get the most appropriate treatment.
- Other Conditions: Including bursitis, herniated discs, ligament or muscle tear, lupus, nerve problems, whiplash, stroke screening, cancer, and many, many others.

*Disclaimer: Breast thermography offers women information that no other procedure can provide. However, breast thermography is not a replacement for or alternative to mammography or any other form of breast imaging. Breast thermography is meant to be used in addition to mammography and other tests or procedures. Breast thermography and mammography are complementary procedures, one test does not replace the other. All thermography reports are meant to identify thermal emissions that suggest potential risk markers only and do not in any way suggest diagnosis and/or treatment. Studies show that the earliest detection is realized when multiple tests are used together. This multimodal approach includes breast self-examinations, physical breast exams by a doctor, mammography, ultrasound, MRI, thermography, and other tests that may be ordered by your doctor.
