Examining The Nervous System
​
​
​
​
We use the latest technology, the Tytron Paraspinal Thermography Scan, to assess the health and functioning of the nervous system by detecting temperature variations along the spine. This FDA-approved advanced system evaluates how the nervous system regulates body processes and overall health.
The human body and its organs are controlled and regulated by the nervous system, which acts like an intricate highway system. Nerves extend from the brain down the spinal column and branch out to every body part, including the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and skin. The brain communicates with and controls the body's functions through this vast network. When there is dysfunction in your body, disease, injury, or illness, your nervous system has a specific pattern unique to only you. This is similar to a finger print. The Tytron records and analysis this data and stores it for us to compare to. Our goal is to get you out of this ill pattern and back to optimal health.
Is The Tytron Paraspinal Thermography Scan Safe?
Yes, the Tytron Paraspinal Thermography Scan is generally considered safe. This type of thermography is a non-invasive, radiation-free diagnostic tool used to assess temperature variations along the spine. The scan detects changes in skin temperature, which can reflect underlying issues in the nervous system, such as inflammation or nerve irritation.
Since the procedure doesn't involve any radiation with the body, no known direct risks are associated with it. The scan uses infrared sensors to measure temperature differences, and it is painless and harmless.
Is There Any Research On Infrared Thermography On Assessing The Nervous System?

According to a research paper from The Japanese Journal of Anesthesiology, “Examination using a thermographic instrument can assess the autonomic dysfunction by measuring the skin blood flow involved with the sympathetic innervation.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25098130/

According to a research paper from the Journal of Neurosurgery, “ These values can be used as a standard in the assessment of sympathetic nerve function, and the degree of asymmetry is a quantifiable indicator of dysfunction.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3418388/
