Thermal Imaging
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic system to detect problems in the body. Thermal Imaging can also provide information about a patient’s response to treatment. It is the only accurate way to see inflammation in our body.
- Thermography can detect disease and injury by revealing the thermal abnormalities present in the body.
- Can assess pain and pathology anywhere on the body and is very helpful in monitoring therapy.
- No radiation – 100% safe for everyone
- Non-invasive, no injections
- Offers privacy – no bodily contact
Clinical thermography is used as an aid for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as monitoring therapy progress, for conditions and injuries, including:
-
- Back Injuries
- Digestive Disorders
- Breast Disease

AT THE CLINIC
Arrive a few minutes early to your appointment. Your body will take some time to adjust to the temperature of the clinic. After signing in with the receptionist, you will be given a gown to change into as you will be disrobing down to your underwear. Speedo type undergarments or thongs are appropriate for both men and women. You will meet your thermographer who will explain and demonstrate the required views and positions necessary for your scan. Thermal images are then taken of either the whole body or just the regions of interest.
You are welcome to bring a friend, partner or spouse into the imaging room for the scan.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
