Thermography, at its core, is the measurement of heat, providing invaluable insights into the body’s functioning. Specifically, infrared regulation thermography focuses on assessing cellular metabolism and the responses of the nervous system by recording precise skin temperatures, often over specific organs and target areas, such as the breast.
Regulation thermography goes beyond simply measuring temperature; it offers a visible depiction of the autonomic nervous system. This insight is crucial in understanding the mechanisms that may contribute to the development of various diseases. By employing regulation thermography, we can comprehensively assess the neurologically controlled terrains that play a pivotal role in creating or sustaining disease environments.
With the help of regulation thermography and a wealth of clinical data from over 40,000 thermograms (spanning across more than 15,000 patients), healthcare professionals have unearthed how patterns of thermoregulatory responses can reveal vital information about organ and tissue health and dysfunction. Unlike X-rays, which provide a structural view, thermography offers a completely non-invasive perspective on your body’s functionality.
So, how does thermography work? It involves measuring precise skin temperatures of various body organs and presenting the results graphically. Infrared measurements are taken from 90 to 120 body points before and after exposure to a cool, ambient room temperature.
Skin temperature is influenced by the nervous system’s innervations, which cause the capillary beds to either constrict or dilate in response to temperature changes. This reaction is specific to your unique biochemical profile. As the nervous system reacts to the cool air exposure, signals travel from the spinal cord through regional nerve ganglia that innervate the organs in that region. These signals eventually reach the skin’s capillary beds, where temperatures are measured to provide insights into organ and tissue health.
Crucially, comparing temperatures before and after exposure to stress has revealed correlations with imbalances often associated with degenerative or inflammatory conditions. The regulation thermography tool quantifies the difference between these two temperatures, and the data is then compared to a database of healthy individuals. Deviations from the norm are identified and presented in easily understandable charts and reports, which are provided on the same day.
While some use thermography as an alternative to mammography, they serve different purposes. A mammogram is a structural test, while a thermogram is functional, evaluating breast health in the context of overall body function.
Thermography, particularly regulation thermography, is a remarkable diagnostic tool that allows healthcare professionals to gain non-invasive insights into the body’s functioning. By measuring precise skin temperatures and analyzing nervous system responses, this technology provides valuable information about organ and tissue health and can help identify potential health issues. With its ability to offer objective and mathematically driven reports, thermography plays a vital role in enhancing our understanding of individual health and well-being.
