Every woman has a unique thermal pattern in the breast region, it is as unique as a fingerprint. Thermal imaging looks for changes in your unique patterns over time, it is essential that every woman completes an initial breast scan AND a comparison breast scan in 3-4 months. This helps to ensure that the breast tissue is not changing suspiciously, it is stable and the reading thermologist can officially confirm your pattern. Once this is completed, the thermologist can recommend routine annual scans. This is absolutely necessary for the proper use of medical thermography for breast imaging purposes.

Meridians Stress (MSA) is a comprehensive test measuring the flow of energy according to the principles of acupuncture and without needles. Meridians are pathways of energy that flow through the body. By carefully analyzing the energetic impulses flowing between meridians, the MSA test may assess whether these pathways are blocked or restricted. When the energy flow is blocked, the body is said to have an imbalanced and may result in a compromised immune system.
A non-invasive test to help determine the least reactive dental material to use with each individual. If a patient has allergies, environmental sensitivity, or autoimmune diseases, dental material compatibility would be beneficial.
Hair Mineral Analysis is a window into the cells. Hair is used for testing because it is a rapidly growing soft tissue of the body that can be sampled easily, safely, and inexpensively, compared to blood or urine testing. What you eat is not as important as what is reaching the cells of your body. Hair analysis is unique and can measure the levels of trace minerals and toxic metals in the hair tissue.
A holistic modality that uses natural plant extracts, to promote well-being. Aromatherapy uses essential oils to help improve the health of the mind, body, and spirit by enhancing both physical and emotional health.
Herbal therapy (also called herbal medicine, phytotherapy, or botanical medicine) refers to the use of plants or plant-derived substances—such as leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, or bark—for medicinal purposes to prevent, manage, or balance health concerns. It is one of the oldest forms of medicine, rooted in ancient traditions across cultures, and remains widely practiced today as a complementary or alternative therapy. Herbal therapy bridges traditional knowledge and modern science, but caution is advised due to variability in potency and regulatory oversight.

Who can benefit from Thermal Imaging?
Any Individual who is interested in proactively taking charge of their health will benefit from Thermal Imaging. People tend to focus on disease diagnosis. However, the shift to Health Discovery is a progressive approach for people who value the process of monitoring their health and making lifestyle changes with the guidance of their healthcare practitioners to achieve big results for their health and longevity.
What is a baseline?
A stable thermal baseline can be established on the follow-up appointment. Our interpreting Physicians will compare your images from your first imaging to those of your follow-up imaging. When they do this, they are looking for signs that the breasts are thermographically stable. When they see this stablility, they will recommend that you come back for imaging in one year for an annual follow-up. If they do not see stability, they may recommend further clinical correlation and another follow-up in 3-6 months.
Why should I have a Full Body or a Health Study Thermogram?
The highest use of thermography is to thermally monitor dynamic changes in general health. We recommend you choose to have a thermal examination to include multiple areas of your body for your first study, which offers you the greatest benefit of thermography. If you choose only a breast study for your initial thermal evaluation, it will provide limited information regarding your general health.
Does Thermography replace mammography?
No. A procedure that looks at the health of the breasts does not replace a procedure that is looking for cancer. Thermography is not a standalone procedure. It is a thermographic temperature differential study of the breasts and is looking for signs to confirm breast health or that your breasts may be generally unhealthy. Our Interpreting Physicians are not looking for cancer or any other disease. "Only a biopsy can diagnose cancer."
Can you prevent Breast Cancer with Thermography?
No. We do not promote the prevention of any disease. We believe that all women deserve to have the knowledge of how to keep their breasts healthy. We teach that diet, exercise, supplementation, dry brushing, hormone balancing as well as lifestyle choices and changes are useful ways to support breast health.
Does Thermography see cancer? If I have "concerning breast finding" or "abnormal breast finding" will the doctors say something?
Thermography does not see cancer. "Imaging f the breast is not intended as a cancer detection test, as it does not suggest, confirm or rule out the possibility that cancer exists in the breast or any other area of the body."
If our Interpreting Physicians see something that they would consider "thermographically significant", they will give you a strong and intentional encouragement to seek further clinical correlation. Remember that "thermographically significant" does not necessarily mean significant for a specific disease.
I am a cancer survivor and don't want any more radiation. Can Thermography help me monitor my breasts?
Thermography can help you monitor the health of your breast, because we do not see cancer, our interpreting physicians do not monitor it.
What are your Interpreting Physicians looking for?
Thermography detects inflammation and blood profusion, our Interpreting Physicians are looking for signs of lymphatic congestion, dilated ducts, injury, generalized inflammation, hormone imbalance as well as specific patterns. When they evaluate these areas, they will assess their significance and comment as to whether they see a low, moderate or high level of significance. They will also recommend a follow-up appointment for further evaluation or to establish a thermal baseline.
When will I receive my report?
Reports will be sent to you or your doctor via a HIPPA-compliant email service within two weeks. In the busier months of October and November, or Holidays, this may extend as far out as three weeks. If you have a serious concern, we can provide a STAT interpretation for an additional $60 which means your report will be sent to you with in 48 hours.
What is EAV, "Electroacupuncture According to Voll"?
EAV testing (Electroacupuncture According to Voll) is a non-invasive method that measures the electrical resistance at specific acupuncture points on the skin to assess the energetic health of organs and body systems. Developed by Dr. Reinhard Voll, this technique uses a device with electrodes—one held by the patient, and one applied to various points by the practitioner—to detect energetic imbalances or disruptions in the body’s meridian pathways.
EAV is often used by practitioners of holistic and alternative medicine to:
EAV is not a standard medical diagnostic tool and is generally considered a complementary assessment rather than a replacement for conventional medical testing. The process is painless and does not involve needles or skin penetration.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not bill insurance. You are responsible for payment at the time of your imaging. We have seen insurance pay for Thermography but VERY rarely. The "Medi Share" type of health coverage often pays for Thermography (check your individual plan).
Are you HIPPA Compliant?
We follow all the rules for HIPPA compliance. However, we are not yet required to do so by law. Many Thermographers are NOT prepared for the time when all Thermographers may be required to follow rules for HIPPA compliance. We are prepared and are already following these rules.
Cancellation Policy
"Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled time or not-shows will incur a $75 cancellation fee. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation."
