See what’s happening beneath the surface.
Thermal imaging gives us an objective, radiation-free window into how your nervous system is functioning. By measuring temperature variations along the spine and throughout the body, we can identify areas of dysfunction, inflammation, and neurological stress that don’t always show up on an exam alone.
At Life Charge, we use thermal imaging in two distinct ways — as part of our chiropractic assessment process, and through LiveWell Thermography, a dedicated full-body thermal screening service.
What thermal imaging actually shows you
Thermal imaging uses infrared sensors to measure heat patterns on the skin’s surface. Every area of your body produces heat, and the pattern of that heat tells a story — about blood flow, inflammation, nerve activity, and how well your body is regulating itself.
Temperature asymmetry is the key finding. When one side of the spine is significantly warmer or cooler than the other, it tells us the nervous system isn’t communicating evenly. That asymmetry often corresponds directly to areas of subluxation, nerve irritation, or dysfunction — giving us an objective data point beyond what we can feel with our hands or see on X-ray.
The scan is completely non-invasive, takes just a few minutes, involves no radiation, and is safe for patients of all ages — including pregnant women, infants, and children.
How we use thermal imaging at Life Charge
We offer two distinct thermal imaging services under one roof. They serve different purposes, but both are grounded in the same principle: objective measurement leads to better decisions about your health.
Thermal Scanning
Thermal scanning measures temperature of the body and spine. These readings help us objectively assess inflammation, muscle imbalance, and nervous system function.
We use this as part of our initial examination and during progress evaluations to track how the nervous system responds to corrective care over time. It gives us — and you — a clear, visual picture of change.
- Objective nervous system assessment
- Tracks subluxation patterns
- Progress monitoring over time
- No radiation, safe for all ages
- Included in chiropractic evaluation
LiveWell Thermography
LiveWell Thermography is a standalone thermal screening service offering comprehensive, full-body thermal imaging. This is ideal for patients looking for a proactive, radiation-free way to monitor overall health and detect areas of concern early.
Full-body thermography can reveal patterns of inflammation, vascular changes, and physiological stress throughout the body — providing valuable health insights beyond the spine.
- Full-body thermal screening
- Radiation-free health monitoring
- Detects inflammation patterns
- Proactive wellness tool
- Separate appointment available
What thermal imaging adds to your care
Numbers don’t lie
Thermal scans give us measurable, repeatable data about nervous system function. It’s not subjective — it’s a reading that can be tracked, compared, and used to guide clinical decisions with confidence.
Find it before you feel it
Dysfunction often shows up as a thermal pattern change long before it shows up as pain. Thermal imaging helps identify areas of concern early — when they’re easiest to address.
See the change over time
Comparing scans at different points in care gives you a visual, objective record of how your nervous system is responding to correction. It’s one of the most powerful ways to show real progress.
What patients use thermal imaging for
Subluxation assessment
Identifying areas of nervous system interference along the spine that may be contributing to dysfunction, pain, or decreased adaptation.
Locating hidden inflammation
Thermal patterns can reveal areas of active inflammation that aren’t always detectable through physical exam alone — especially in chronic or subclinical cases.
Proactive health screening
Regular thermal screening gives patients a radiation-free way to monitor changes in their body over time and catch emerging patterns before they become symptomatic.
Gentle assessment for kids
Thermal scanning is completely painless and non-invasive — making it ideal for assessing nervous system function in infants and children who can’t describe what they’re feeling.
