Ever wonder what that scanner is doing as it rolls up someone's spine in our office?
That is our thermal scan, one part of our INSiGHT nervous system exam. Two infrared cameras read the temperature on each side of the spine as they move up your back.
Here is why that matters. Every muscle, organ, gland, and tissue in your body is supplied by a nerve. When there is irritation along a nerve, it creates inflammation, and inflammation creates heat. That is exactly what this scan is picking up.
A temperature difference from one side of the spine to the other is a sign of stress on the nervous system, something you cannot see on an X-ray and usually cannot feel until it has been building for a while.
It is quick, it is painless, and it gives us an objective look at how your nervous system is actually functioning.
Curious what your scan would show? Give us a call at 608-352-7476 or head to centrafamilychiropractic.com to get started.
