THERMOGRAPHY! WHAT IS IT?

The purpose of a traditional report card is to inform parent's of their child's academic progress and serves as a monitoring of good progress or an early warning sign that changes are needed. It gives them the needed feedback and provides information to their support staff: teachers and parents.

Many parents consider their child's report card to be one of the MOST important documents they receive from year to year. 

Thermography is the adult's version of a health report card. It provides feedback so we can take charge of our health and provides information to our support staff: chiropractor, acupuncturist, physician, etc.

As adults we continue to need report cards - we have milestones every year - whether a stressful event that prompts unhealthy eating, an unexpected death, job change or move that promotes anxiety in the body. Think about all of the events that we experience and the effect they have on our body.  

Thermography is an internal report card showing how well our body has tolerated these events and provides us information of where to focus to turn these unwanted health effects around or gives us peace of mind that the effort we are putting into our health is actually paying off.

Knowledge is power and knowing your internal landscape allows you to make more efficient choices to keep yourself healthy and vibrant!

And how can it serve as an internal health report card?

Angiogenesis is the medical term for when your body begins to grow extra blood vessels to feed a tumor. This process typically takes 8-10 years before a mass can be detected by mammography or an ultrasound. More blood vessels mean more heat in the body. This heat is what thermography can detect – often years before it is large enough to be seen, giving women time to change lifestyle habits to enhance their health, reduce systemic inflammation, and dial back indicators of chronic disease.

Inflammation is the foundation of all chronic disease and represents itself in our body by heat. It is the body's way of signaling that the immune system is busy fighting. Early detection of this inflammation may help to prevent those health conditions from even developing in the first place. Thermal imaging captures pictures of the areas of heat (inflammation) which allows us and/or your medical provider to target and treat proactively.

Inflammation can be treated through toxic load reduction such as dietary changes, exercise, nutritional supplements, detoxification, antioxidants, stress reduction, acupuncture, chiropractic care, the BEMER medical device, massage, yoga, cranio-sacral therapy, reiki, feldenkrais exercise, energy healing, essential oils, nutrition response testing, personal coaching and more! Targeting specific areas of inflammation and proactively treating these areas can help reverse chronic disease states and can even help prevent negative health conditions from developing!

NASA, Fire and Police Departments, the Military and Home Inspectors use Thermal Imaging. Some since the 1950's. The difference here is our cameras state-of-the-art technology is calibrated for Medical Grade Thermal Imaging. Thermography has been FDA registered since 1982 and has over 800 peer-reviewed articles exist in the Index-Medicus literature.
