Thermography / Victoria Bailey Health and Wellness

We will be using a hand cradle to perform the scan. Before we start, we must establish a good connection to the software using the sensors on the cradle. For this reason, please avoid applying any oils or lotions to your hands before your appointment, because that can interfere with the connection. -Cold hands can also interfere with the scan, but there are simple steps to take to warm them (such as rubbing or clapping hands or running warm water over them.) -No specific attire is needed & jewelry does not interfere with the scan, but we may ask you to place your phone or Apple watch away from your body or turn them off. -Your report and an appointment summary will be emailed to you.

Please note: We cannot provide ALT services if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have a pacemaker or any other electronic medical device, have had an organ transplant, or if you have been diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or suspect you may currently have a blood clot. -Please avoid applying any oils or lotions to your skin on the day of your appointment. -After your appointment, you’ll want to be sure to drink extra water to help with flushing the Lymphatic system. The goal is to drink a small glass every hour for the 48 hours following your session. -Lastly, for this service, please wear underwear to your appointment (or bring some with you to wear).

Please note: You must not currently be pregnant, and must be 90-days post breastfeeding and post-surgery (this includes biopsies). Thermography is not unsafe in these situations, but can cause an inaccurate read. If you have questions about whether a specific surgery could affect the thermography scan, please call our office. -The day BEFORE your thermography scan, don’t start a new exercise program. -The day OF the scan, avoid deodorant and makeup, as that can affect the temperature of your skin. Also, avoid chiropractic care, lymphatic work, massage, tanning, and exercise; all of these affect the temperature of your muscles. -ONE HOUR BEFORE the scan, please avoid gum, mints, and drinking hot or cold liquids, as these will cause an inaccurate dental read. -Lastly, for this service, please wear underwear to your appointment (or bring some with you to wear). -Your thermography report is typically emailed to you (or sent by mail if requested) about 2-3 days after your scan.

Absolutely not. Nothing except a biopsy can diagnose cancer.

No. You do not need a physician referral to receive thermography. You as the client will receive your report and images.

Thermography is an excellent tool for identifying dense tissue & fibrocystic tissue due to the fact these two issues do not create the heat pattern that challenged cells would produce. That’s the benefit of reading physiology vs structure.

This is great for implants, not only can you get scanned without the risk of rupturing your implants, we can check the integrity of the implants.

Thermography is absolutely safe. There is no compression, radiation exposure, or any other type of risk factor at all.

Thermography uses a special infrared camera with highly accurate heat sensors to detect differentials in temperature in the body. Normally, our body’s temperature is symmetrical. However, an abnormality, injuries, pains, and abnormal pathology, change the temperature of the surrounding tissue. These differences are clearly visible through Thermography. Thermography can help by aiding in the early detection of disease and pathology, including suspicious Breast pathology, determining the root cause of pain, evaluating significant soft-tissue injury or sensory-nerve irritation, defining a previously diagnosed injury or condition, identifying an abnormal area for further diagnostic testing and more.

Yes, we do accept flexible spending account cards AND health savings account cards. Many clients do use these cards to pay for our services.

Unfortunately, this is not typically covered by insurance. You would need to call your carrier and check on your specific wellness plan coverage.

Yes, Thermography is FDA approved. Additionally, we use Medi-Therm equipment, which is the ONLY equipment manufactured for healthcare and FDA approved.

That’s a personal decision. Should you choose to undergo mammograms, this is certainly a great compliment. You will have the benefit of two totally different technologies. We have many clients who choose thermography over mammography because there is no risk of radiation exposure or compression.
