Paraspinal Thermal Scan
Paraspinal Thermal Scans detect temperature differences in your spine down to 1/100th of a degree Celsius This allows our Spinecare chiropractors to detect and identify even the smallest areas of spinal nerve interference most likely caused by your spinal dysfunction.Our thermal scanners are detecting temperatures, however, it’s the autonomic part of our nervous system that our chiropractors are investigating. When nerves around and exiting the spine become irritated, it causes the blood vessels around and overlying your spine to constrict. This vaso-constriction of the vessels decreases the overlying surface skin temperatures.Our thermal scans can detect the smallest of temperature differences and with this sensitivity, our Spinecare chiropractors can better understand the areas where nervous system irritation is occurring.
As one of our chiropractors put it, “the thermal scan is like a great guide or map to your spine and nervous system. It doesn’t tell us exactly what is causing it, but it shows us exactly where to start looking!”
With modern chiropractic technology that is available today we can better detect and understand your overall spine and nervous system function. This let’s us more accurately assess, develop and monitor your improvement over time.
The paraspinal thermal scanner uses infrared temperature sensors to measure the surface of the your skin. This makes the thermal scan a safe, quick and painless procedure to use.
As our scanners use infrared technology, it can be safely used with pregnant women and also the kids!
Today, the health care field is recognizing the need to monitor the nervous system’s function due to its unique role in the maintenance of global bodily function.
Long term research by the scientific community has determined that the nervous system is a major, if not the major, contributing factor in the maintenance of health. Over 30 years of research and nearly 9,000 peer reviewed and indexed journal papers have confirmed thermography as a valid diagnostic test of real-time neurophysiology.
The digital infrared imaging scanner represents the epitome of research and technology in paraspinal thermography.
If you would like to gain a better insight into your spine and nervous system function, then our Spinecare chiropractors may be able to help you!
