Thermography for Breast Health
What is Thermography?
Thermography is a completely non-invasive treatment at Hope Spring Clinic that is sought after for its ability to detect early changes where the body is prioritising inflammation. Inflammation is a clinical marker for a compromised immune system and the onset of chronic disease, and we are proud to offer our patients the very latest state-of-the-art medical grade Flir camera with total vision software providing vital information.
Our multimodal approach includes breast self-examinations, physical breast exams by a naturopath, ultrasound, MRI referral, thermography, and other tests that may be ordered by your practitioner.
Any suspicious finding will be accompanied with recommendations for further clinical evaluation. If a lump or any other change in your breast is noticed before your next screening thermogram, please consult your naturopath or GP immediately.
All images are interpreted by our experts in clinical medical thermography, from which a full colour take-home e-report will enable you to visually see areas of inflammation present.
A consultation with our registered naturopath, is available as additional service should you wish to receive advise and support with lifestyle choices ongoing forward.
Thermography and Cancer
Thermography interpretation in your report does not include information or recommendations related to the measured changes of disease beyond skin temperature changes and patterns. As there is no single known test capable of monitoring all biological influences of the complex disease generally diagnosed as cancer, continued monitoring with available additional testing by way of our circulating tumour cell (CTC) count is recommended. This is a simple blood test assessing the presence or not, of circulating cancer cells, also referred to as a liquid biopsy.
Our thermal scans will alert you to the conditions which may need further investigation by ultrasound, these include but are not limited to fibrocystic breasts, breast pain, blood perfusion, lymphatic congestion, dental issues, circulation vascular/heart disease, musculoskeletal problems, metabolic changes, digestive imbalance, diabetes detection.
As naturopathic clinic we do not promote the use of mammography due to every increasing medical research on tissue damage that may follow.

What we offer
-
Full Body Study
The Upper Body Study involves taking 37 images of the entire body using thermography to detect inflammation, neovascular and neurological phenomena. Inflammation is a necessary response of the immune system to damage and infection. It signals the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue and defend against foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria.
Treatment time(s): 75 mins
Donations: £499
-
Breast Study
The Breast Study involves taking nine images of the breast, chest, and upper back.
Thermography can identify inflammatory, neovascular, and neurological issues based on temperature levels and patterns. A thermography study can also detect abnormal vascular patterns associated with chronic breast disease and monitor implant structural integrity.
Treatment time(s): 60 mins
Donations: £370
