More and more people are turning to digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging (commonly known as Digital Thermography) as an aid to diagnose and/or monitor vascular disease, immune dysfunction, and systemic inflammation in the body.

A non-invasive test, Digital Thermography uses an infrared camera to measure and pinpoint abnormal thermal changes within the body.

How does it work? According to HealthSCAN Thermography, “The camera gauges body tissue heat energy that is then reflected on a high-speed computer for imaging. In most cases, problem areas show high temperatures due to increased blood flow and increased metabolic activity.”

Want to learn more about digital thermography and what it can do for YOU? Listen to Dr. Nathalie as she interviews Janice Holmes, owner of HealthSCAN Thermography Clinic, on the What the Hack Podcast. The two discuss digital thermography and how it can help YOU figure out what’s happening inside your body.

Psst…Sante Chiropractic is hosting its next Mobile Digital Thermography Clinic on Saturday, November 7, 2026 between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (Appointment Required). To make an appointment, click here.
