BENEFITS OF INFRARED IMAGING

Infrared imaging is a safe way of seeing how your body is functioning. It's like putting your car in for a service to see if you need the spark plugs changed or a wheel alignment. Infrared body maps identify unusual activity, (even when you may be symptom-free), look beyond your symptoms to help determine the cause of your problems and provide you with options to improve your health.

• What is the cause of your pain?
• Do you need further investigation?
• Has your doctor been unable to help?
• What other therapies may help?
• Are you on the right track with your treatment & fitness programs?
• Do you have potential injury sites?
• Are you just curious? – Fantastic!

Infrared imaging provides unique, additional information to assist you and your health care practitioner to make the most appropriate decisions about your health and treatment. The imaging gives you information that a doctor, naturopath or health instructor cannot see by looking at you and that other tests may not detect. We may find abnormal indicators that confirm your symptoms or appear even when you are symptom- free and not aware of stress points, underlying problems or potential injury sites. In this way infrared imaging is a true early detection tool.

Infrared imaging is a modern medical technology that involves no contact, compression or discomfort. Infrared technology can detect abnormalities in soft tissues (regions of nerves, muscles, tendons, ligaments and organs). Infrared imaging provides information about the physiology/function of your body.

Infrared helps identify the source of pain or discomfort - it looks beyond your symptoms

- Identifying areas of pain, inflammation, infection, over-activity, stress points, nerve damage and under-function. This may not be visible with x-ray, mammogram, CT, ultrasound or si,ple doctor examination.  

- Validate what you are feeling, even when other tests have been inconclusive and point you to the most appropriate professionals.

Infrared can be your partner in holistic health care

  - Showing you areas of your body where there may be imbalance, stress or loading, whether you are in pain or symptom-free. This means you can be pro-active about keeping well and can choose appropriate treatments to 'service' or fine-tune your body, just like you do with your car!

- It's not guess work - infrared images can act like a body map, showing where you and your health practitioner need to focus. Infrared imaging may also confirm the need for further investigation, tests or therapy.

Infrared can be used as a safe, regular monitoring tool for health care maintenance

- Infrared imaging is a unique and safe monitoring tool which, used regularly, can track your progress, success of your treatment and identify changes which may need attention to help you stay well.

  - The technology does not use radiation to scan and there are no safety issues. It is suitable for children, adults and even pregnant women.
