Breast
Thermography of Middle TN offers full body imaging, which can identify early
signs of, sports injuries, soft tissue injuries, chronic pain conditions,
musculoskeletal disorders, a thyroid disorder, circulation problems, early characteristics
of breast cancer and more. Opening our office has made it easier for local men and women to independently
access this technology. In the
case of breast Thermography, it is not a replacement for a mammogram — it is adjunctive.
Thermography is a
non-invasive imaging test that shows the heat patterns emitting from the
surface of the skin. Since body temperatures act as reference points and are an
indication of how the body is functioning or reacting to internal changes,
abnormal heat patterns can signify when something is off-center.
Physio-centered
practitioners often appreciate this technology to provide an initial starring
point in a treatment plan as well as its ability to show progress during the
treatment plan. Chiropractors, massage therapists’, physical therapists’’ and
occupational therapists’ often request bi-weekly or monthly scans as part of
their progress report.
The scan is quick and easy.
After your body is acclimated to a temperature controlled room for 15 minutes,
pictures of the area you would like scanned are taken using an infrared camera.
The images are sent to a medical doctor trained in the interpretation of
Thermography. The doctor then sends back a report, explaining what the heat
patterns mean and what course of action, if any, is recommended.
