Thermography

The information from the thermographic profile and patient evaluation assists in determining your level of health and helps provide us with indications of disease processes at a very early stage. Any areas of concern that require immediate attention are flagged by the profile and evaluation. This information then helps us in developing an individualized treatment plan specifically suited to your needs. Such early preventative monitoring measures can be beneficial for the future of your health.

• For 23-36 hours before your appointment: please stop all homeopathic remedies or herbal supplements because these can affect the results. Continue taking prescription meds. Please feel free to talk to us if you have special needs in this area.

• NO Air travel for 72 hours before the appointment.

• NO alcohol 24 hours before the appointment.
