Thermography is a technology that creates a visual map of temperature changes in your body through the use of a highly-specialized infrared camera. This camera measures the amount of thermal energy emitted by an area of the body. From this map, a thermographer is then able to identify and explain any areas of concern.

Thermography is a helpful tool at New Life Chiropractic and Wellness. With each patient we see, our goal is to pinpoint the most exact location where spinal misalignments could be resulting in your health issues. This device enables us to examine your spine more closely and with another level of accuracy to target areas most in need. By using this machine we are able to provide more detailed recovery plans for your treatment at New Life Chiropractic and Wellness in Santa Clarita, California. This can help you get better faster using targeted chiropractic assistance.

What Will the Thermography Scan Tell My Doctor?

The results from a thermography scan are used to detect areas of need, as well as document progress over multiple visits to New Life Chiropractic and Wellness. The data collected from a thermography scan is often displayed on a chart that correlates with the areas of the spinal column. On both sides of the chart a bar is used to represent how far away the temperature on that spine is from the normal body temperature. This gives the doctor a visual display of areas that have a greater contrast (meaning more spinal and nervous system disruptions) to isolate the areas that require the most treatment.

Needless to say, your body is going through constant changes, so your doctor can use these scans to gain more information about the success of your treatments or areas which need more attention with each visit. By using these scans and other tests such as a posture analysis, full spine x-ray, and surface EMG examination, your doctor at New Life Chiropractic and Wellness in Santa Clarita, California will be able to identify the most effective solutions to improve your overall health and wellness.

Infrared Thermography has demonstrated excellent results in helping in the diagnosis of urgent gastrointestinal pathology, especially appendicitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis, ulcerative colitis and hyper and hypo gastric secretions.
