Upper Body Thermography

What Is Upper Body Thermography?

Upper Body Thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free screening procedure using digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) to visualize temperature patterns and blood flow in the spine, abdomen, upper back, arms, and hands. It provides valuable physiological insights into muscular, vascular, and neurological health—without needles, compression, or contact.

This service focuses on thermal imaging of:

  • Full Back & Spine
