Clinical Thermography

Description

Clinical thermography, otherwise known as infrared imaging, is based on a careful analysis of skin surface temperatures as a reflection of normal or abnormal human physiology. The procedure is commonly performed either by the direct application of liquid crystal plates to a part of the body, or via ultra-sensitive infrared cameras through a sophisticated computer interface. Each procedure extrapolates the thermal data and forms an image which may be evaluated for signs of possible disease or injury. Extensive research and investigation performed at prestigious medical teaching institutions such as Johns Hopkins University Medical School, have established normal values for the distribution of heat in each region of the body(11-13). Variation from these normal values are measured and correlated with suspected injuries or diseases in the same way a blood or urine laboratory study is interpreted. Over thirty years of clinical use and more than 8,000 peer-reviewed studies in the medical literature have established thermography as a safe and effective means to examine the human body (1-10). It is completely non-invasive, and as such does not require the use of radiation or other potentially harmful elements. Take Charge Of Your Health! Thermography is completely non-invasive, and as such does not require the use of radiation or other potentially harmful elements. Medical research has shown thermography to be helpful in the diagnosis of: •Breast Cancer •Nervous System Disorders •Metabolic Disorders •Repetitive Strain Injuries •Headaches, Neck and Back Problems •TMJ Conditions •Pain Syndromes •Arthritis •Vascular Disorders •Soft Tissue Injuries among others Visit restorativehealthandthermography.com for more information.
