Thermography is a non-contact, non-invasive procedure which captures and records temperature variations on the skin. The skin is the body’s most intelligent organ and is “wired” with a communication network connecting all other organs and physiological processes in the body. The skin responds to physiological changes and a thermography device observes those changes.

The unique contribution of thermography is that it shows physiological and metabolic processes. By comparison, tests such as ultrasound, x-ray and mammography show the body’s structure or anatomy looking for structural changes. By looking at how the body is functioning and by helping to identify what is stressing the body, thermography provides unique information that your health practitioner may use along with other tests to evaluate your health.

Clinically, thermography is a test of physiology that relies on the sympathetic nerve control of skin blood flow and the ability of the sympathetic nervous system to respond to and react to pain, pathology, injury or dysfunction anywhere in the body. Inflammatory response and inflammation-associated diseases, which create a thermal pattern, visually detected with thermography, is globally recognized as the number one health issue in the world.**
