"Thermography as a safe, viable, noninvasive, pain-free tool" – Dr. Joseph Mercola
Thermography is a "Health Discovery" tool:
It is a very important part of your wellness program that detects inflammation, a world-wide recognized potential health problem. Thermography can give you a very unique look at the current status of your health and help you see if your body asking for extra help. The good news is that Thermography can give you healthy insights; the best advice is to take thermal changes seriously enough to do something about it.
There are more than 800 Thermography studies worldwide that provide helpful insight about Thermography. Even though the FDA approved Thermography in 1982 a lot of people do not have a 510k, in fact Med-Hot is the only one with a current 510k in the US.
Proactive Health Discovery:
Trained practitioners can support our body’s ability to heal itself through various modalities such as diet changes, supplementation, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, exercise and more… all designed to support you maintain a healthy state of well being. Healthy Views Thermography supports this process by providing your practitioners with valuable information which may indicate possible health challenges. In addition, our interpreting Physicians are MDs who believe in the power to monitor the treatment provided by your Health Practitioner. Monitoring your chosen treatments with Thermography adds valuable data to the process and may help steer the course of treatment and see its value and effectiveness!
It is a high-tech tool that specifically measures skin surface temperature which may indicate an inflammatory process.
These thermal images (called thermograms) are analyzed by Medical Doctors for abnormalities that may be signs of disease-causing inflammation in your body. Additionally, since your body is thermally symmetrical if normal, thermal asymmetries can indicate problems.
Thermography, or thermal imaging, creates a digital map of your body that illustrates heat patterns — patterns that may detect the inflammation connected to some condition or abnormality. It uses an infrared camera that measures your body surface temperature, presenting the information as a digitized image.
Thermal imaging is:
Plus, it:
Thermography studies can assess heart function and may indicate inflammation in the carotid arteries (which may be a precursor to stroke and blood clots). When inflammation and/or occlusion of the carotid is visible, your doctor may do additional testing.
And here are some other examples:
Here’s What Happens When You Get a Thermogram
Here are the simple steps you’ll follow when you get a Thermogram:
Step 1: You sit in a temperature-controlled room to allow your body to cool from any external conditions. At that time, you’ll complete some simple paperwork, including a health survey.
Step 2: You’re positioned in front of a Thermal Imaging Camera, and the technician takes thermal images (5-15 minutes) mostly from behind a curtain or screen for privacy (you will need assistance with hands and feet images).
Step 3: Your thermal images are sent out to a certified physician for analysis of 1) the amount of heat and 2) the symmetry of the heat patterns. Heat patterns may indicate inflammation, infection, or a variance from your body’s norm.
Step 4: You’ll receive a report of findings shortly thereafter. This will help you and your doctor determine any next steps.
Step 5: We recommend you return for thermograms annually to monitor your health and watch for changes. Since everybody’s body is different, the best way to detect problems is to measure changes from your own body’s previous thermal images to establish a baseline.

Thermal imaging is:
- Not painful…
- Non-invasive…
- Quick – your multi-image exams usually takes less than 30 minutes…
Plus, it:
- Makes no contact with your body
- It is absolutely safe
- Our automated stand allows for privacy
Thermography studies can assess heart function and may indicate inflammation in the carotid arteries (which may be a precursor to stroke and blood clots). When inflammation and/or occlusion of the carotid is visible, your doctor may do additional testing.
And here are some other examples:
- Arthritis: Thermography can suggest thermal indication of arthritis — and differentiate between osteoarthritis and more severe forms like rheumatoid. Effective early treatment strategies can then be implemented by your healthcare professional, before you experience further degeneration.
- Neck and Back Pain: Thermal pain patterns ‘light up’ white and red hot on a thermal image of the involved area. You can get relief faster and begin restorative care that more precisely targets the correct area.
- Dental Issues: If you have TMJ, gum disease, or an infected tooth, this can show up on thermal images as white or red hot.
- Sinus Issues & Headaches: Significant heat in your forehead or sinus region revealed on a thermal image may suggest that these systems in your body are not functioning properly.
- Immune Dysfunction, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue: The immune system correlates to the T1 and T2 areas of your spine — high levels of heat in that region can indicate immune dysfunction. On the other hand, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and aching joints are just a few complaints that correlate to cool patterns seen at this area.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS): This condition is often misdiagnosed. For instance, you may think you have CTS, yet the thermal images shows your neck is referring pain from a different affected area. This will help you get the most appropriate treatment.
- Digestive Disorders: Irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis and Crohn’s disease are often visible with Thermography. If you’re able to address these conditions early on, you’ll find that health restoration is much more likely.
- Other Conditions: Including hormonal imbalances, diabetes, metabolic disorders, cardio-vascular thermal conditions, bursitis, herniated discs, ligament or muscle tear, nerve problems, whiplash, and many, many others.
