Frequently Asked Questions About Thermography
What is thermography and how does it work?
Thermography, also known as Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), uses an infrared camera to detect heat patterns and blood flow changes in the body. These temperature variations can indicate inflammation, nerve irritation, or vascular changes that may not yet appear on X-rays or MRIs.
Is thermography safe?
Yes. Thermography is completely safe and FDA-registered. It uses no radiation, no injections, and no compression, making it an ideal imaging option for individuals who want a non-invasive and gentle diagnostic scan.
Is breast thermography a replacement for a mammogram?
No. Breast thermography is not a replacement for mammography, but it is often used as a complementary or adjunctive screening tool. Many women in Elmhurst and DuPage County choose thermography for its ability to monitor physiological changes over time without radiation or compression.
Always consult your healthcare provider about appropriate breast screening options for your individual needs.
Who should consider thermography?
Thermography is beneficial for individuals who want to:
- Monitor breast health without radiation
- Identify chronic inflammation or pain
- Evaluate nerve, muscle, or joint issues
- Investigate unexplained or recurring symptoms
- Track progress from chiropractic care, acupuncture, or functional medicine
It is especially helpful for those with a family history of breast cancer, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, or sports-related injuries.
How long does a thermography appointment take?
Most thermography appointments last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of scan being performed (breast, full-body, or regional). Scans are performed in a temperature-controlled room by a certified thermographer at our Elmhurst chiropractic office.
When will I receive my thermography results?
Your thermographic images are interpreted by certified physicians trained in thermal imaging. A detailed written report is typically provided within 7–10 business days, outlining findings and recommendations for follow-up if necessary.
Do I need a referral for thermography in Elmhurst, IL?
No referral is required to schedule a thermography scan at Elm Chiropractic. Patients throughout Elmhurst, DuPage County, and nearby western suburbs may schedule directly with our office.
Does insurance cover thermography?
Thermography is generally considered a self-pay wellness service and is not typically covered by insurance. Our office will review pricing, scan options, and any preparation instructions when you schedule.
How should I prepare for my thermography appointment?
You will receive detailed preparation instructions prior to your appointment. Common guidelines include avoiding lotions, deodorants, exercise, and chiropractic or massage treatments for a specified period before your scan to ensure accurate results.
