Naturopathic doctors spend more time with patients than is normally expected. In-depth histories are taken which give valuable insight into the best treatment options for each individual. The emphasis in treatment is on building health by creating a healthier environment, inside and out, in which to live rather than simply fighting disease. Naturopaths cooperate with all other branches of the medical sciences, referring patients to other practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate.

Thermography- Infrared Thermal Body Imaging
Fibrocystic Breast Disease
Thermography is an is FDA Certified diagnostic screening procedure that works by using a highly specialized digital infrared camera that measures the temperatures of the body to detect increased blood flow or angiogenesis. Angiogenesis means growth of new blood vessels and is one of the earliest signs of cancer. By detecting these subtle changes, Thermography has proven very effective when used as an adjunctive tool with mammography. The best thing about Thermography is there is no radiation, no painful compression and is 100% safe. Your scans are read by certified physicians and a full report is provided within a week.
Depending on your health issue, there are different body scans that will illuminate the core problem. Many conditions can be assessed with the use of thermography; any imbalance in the body throwing off an abnormal amount of heat can be detected. Since inflammation is the source of almost all diseases, this infrared imaging technique is a perfect preventative tool for signaling issues before they get worse and for monitoring treatment success of progressive inflammatory processes, like arthritis, infections, diabetes or cancer. Likewise, the infrared camera can also detect under- functioning of organs by detecting a decrease in temperature emission compared to surrounding tissues. In this way, issues like hypothyroidism, auto-immune deficiency or impaired circulation are revealed.
What is the procedure like?
During the imaging there will be no contact with your body, no injections, radiation, or fluids to consume. You will be in a comfortably cool, private room. The camera will be positioned from 3-7 feet away from you as you turn to change to the required positions.
You will be given a gown while the thermographer reviews your personal history with you. While imaging, you will remove the clothing from the area of the body being imaged. You will be imaged by a professionally trained and certified thermographer.
A basic protocol is used when preparing for the test. It is very important that patients follow protocol instructions so that thermography results are accurate.
