What is Computerized Paraspinal Thermal Imaging?

Paraspinal Thermal Imaging is a safe, painless, and reliable diagnostic test that measures the infrared heat emitted from the body's surface; without the use of radiation. Unlike many other tests, Paraspinal Thermal Imaging is unique in that it displays how the nervous system is functioning. Since the health of the nervous system can determine the health of the body, this examination provides critical information which is vital to your care.

How Does Paraspinal Thermal Imaging Work? The process is based on a precise analysis of the body's surface temperature along the spine. Differences in temperature between opposite sites of the spine are compared to established normal values in the same way blood tests are. The significance of these temperature differences indicate the presence of abnormal nervous system function.

Paraspinal Thermal Imaging is used to look for far more than just hot spots; with accuracy down to 0.1°C very accurate and objective results are possible. Nerve damage or irritation will be seen as areas of reduced temperature (cold). More commonly seen are patterns of heat caused by trauma or infection. Even deep inflammation can be detected by Thermography. Early inflammation of a stressed tendon can be detected up to 2 weeks earlier than by routine clinical examination.

Paraspinal Thermal Imaging has been found to detect the cause of many conditions which have eluded other diagnostic tests.
