Thermography now available at Roots of Wellness with Colette!
My name is Colette Dixon and I am a Clinical Thermography Technician (CTT) and extremely honored to offer thermography clinic services in the Lloydminster and surrounding areas. I received my training and certification under the guidance of Dr. Alexander Mostovoy, Board Certified Clinical Thermographer, as well as under the supervision and mentorship of Hazel Hnatko (CTM).
During my 12 years' experience working as a clinic manager alongside chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Hnatko, I gained valuable experience for holistic health, nutrition and have a passion to raise awareness about thermography and its application. I believe that having as much information as possible gives us valuable tools required to improve our health, while avoiding creating an environment that supports the growth of disease. Being a client of breast thermography myself for over 10 years, has given me first-hand experience that there are so many factors in our control that affect our breast health.
Thermography, also known as Digital Infrared Imaging, is a health analysis tool that produces infrared images, showing patterns of blood flow near the surface of the body which is used to help clients monitor their breast and complete-body health. Very different from anatomical or structural tests, such as mammography, MRI or ultrasound, these images indicate where heat and inflammation exist in the body. Inflammation may show up as an increase in heat release, and is a precursor to many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Early detection of inflammation may help prevent negative health conditions from developing. Whether itβs a breast assessment, sports injury detection or dental health concerns, the infrared thermal images are evaluated for abnormalities and minor physiological changes. Annual thermograms allow you to monitor changes in the bodyβs heat patterns over time which can alert you to any changes that might indicate disease. Thermography offers early risk assessment with no contact, no radiation and no compression. With this non-invasive, pain free technology and the help of a healthcare practitioner, abnormalities can be detected up to 10 years prior to disease progression and can potentially be stopped while restoring health, without invasive testing and treatments. Ideally, patients can help prevent disease by being proactive with recommended lifestyle changes after their baseline scan.
Scan packages range from full body, breast, cranial/dental or a particular area of interest and are evaluated by board certified clinical thermographers at Thermography Clinic Inc. in Toronto, ON.
