Hi Penelope, I believe you can google thermography near you and find the closest location. I live in Iowa and we have a few chiropractors offices that do them.

Hi, I wondered where you can get thermograms that are full body? I would be interested. Breast cancer runs rampant in my mom’s side of the family, hence I do get mammo’s as well as an mri once a year. However, instead of a mammogram, I’d rather opt for a thermography.
Thanks for any info 🙂

I had a mammogram that showed micro calcifications. They wanted to do a diagnostic Mammogram and a sonogram. When I asked to only do the sonogram, they told me that a sonogram was not needed only the diagnostic Mammogram. They refused to do the sonogram, even when I told them about a study done by CentraState Health and Princeton Radiology that showed that “Ultrasound can identify potentially cancerous masses associated with breast calcifications, including masses that can’t be seen on mammogram.” And it gave 3 advantages to doing this. Here is the link to the article:https://www.centrastate.com/blog/breast-ultrasound-may-ease-breast-cancer-testing/#:~:text=Ultrasound%20can%20identify%20potentially%20cancerous,This%20approach%20provides%20several%20advantages. I wish I knew where I could get the breast sonogram.

I am going today for an ultrasound. Self pay is only $250. I am a breast cancer survivor (2016-2017). I now do thermograms and got suckered into a mammogram yesterday, because my naturopath was concerned about something she saw on my right breast (left breast had cancer previously). Mammogram showed “normal”, but I don’t trust it, so I am going rogue and getting the ultrasound at a “stand alone” (not attached to the hospital). From now on, this is what I will do. I do thermograms 2x a year (full body) and if there are questionable findings I will do the ultrasound. They have to pay for those mammogram machines…hence the demonizing of thermography and the militant push for everyone to have mammograms.

I’ve grown skeptical over the years especially after having a large ruptured disc that my doctor recommended physical therapy and time because 15 years ago they were cutting up everyone and realized that the back healed in the same amount of time if they did nothing. I ended up finding pt helped only a little, and traction machine caused my foot to go numb and all the natural solutions actually did the healing: garlic supplements for pain and circulation worked better than ibuprofin and tylonol, jogging/yoga to increase circulation, 30 days of inversion table use healed my numb foot, and 50% raw food diet consisting of 5 pound of carrots a week healed the years of residual symptoms I had in a matter of a couple months. Its amazing how conditioned we’ve become to only listen to these “experts” that only know those tools.

My husband fussed at me for being on my phone & I told him I was researching mammograms versus thermography. He told me in his big voice to get the mammogram when I told him I didn’t want one. Personally, I know he wouldn’t want his pecs confined! It hurts! They gave me a mammogram at 35 after I had just had my daughter. Talk about hurt!

I did mammography years ago. I now do MRI. MRI is much more sensitive and non invasive but unfortunately not used routinely because of cost. I actually did thermography back when I was in xray school in the mid 80’s. I worked for a Radiologist that was ahead of the curve on breast screening. I personally switched to thermography about 10 years ago. I stoped with the annual mammograms due to the radiation and compression which is not healthy for breast tissue. Thermography is also read by a physician that is trained to read them. They will never replace Mammography but they are a great tool to check breast heath and detect changes in tissue long before a tumor is developed enough for a mammo or physical exam to pick up. It is a shame that we cannot use all of the best diagnostic tools available due to financial issues and the fact that health care is a for profit industry.
