Thermography

Thermography services are part of our complete breast health program at Karis Integrative Medicine.

A complete program for breast health includes clean dietary intake, supplements, hormone balancing, self-breast exams, annual clinical exams, annual thermal imaging and any other structural diagnostic imaging. Thermography is not intended to replace mammography or other forms of structural imaging, but rather add a new dimension in the assessment of breast tissue.  

Benefits of Breast Thermography

  • Simple - It's as simple as taking your picture.

  • 100% Safe - Nothing is emitted from the camera. Nothing is injected into your body. There is no risk of damage to the fragile cellular DNA.

  • No Radiation!

  • Painless - There is no contact or compression.

  • Cost Effective - (compared to other diagnostic imaging procedures) $200

  • Preventative - Allows for early detection and thereby timely investigation and intervention BEFORE symptoms manifest.

  • Early Health Screening - The first glance at abnormal physiology that allows for early interventions to restore balance.

*Thermography is NOT a stand alone test and does NOT eliminate the need for other breast imaging.
