Can Thermography Be Used for Other Conditions?
Yes, there are a number of conditions where thermography has proven to be a useful diagnostic procedure as well as a way to measure treatment progress. These conditions include local pain conditions including: Arthritis Tendinitis and tenosynovitis Neurological conditions Atherosclerotic heart disease Carotid issues Deep vein thrombosis Vasculitis Raynaud’s disease. Thyroid issues We can also do whole-body thermography to screen for circulatory and other physiological changes. Finally, licensed acupuncturists can use thermography to detect slight temperature variations which reflect disturbances in the flow of Qi and blood, which can result in pain and dysfunction. Concrete evidence that acupuncture therapy actually restores blood flow and normalizes disrupted temperature patterns has been proven by thermographic studies.
