Medical Thermography in Encinitas, CA
Medical thermography, also known as thermal imaging, is a non-invasive, radiation-free screening tool that detects heat patterns and blood flow in the body. This advanced technology is used for early detection and monitoring of inflammation, circulatory issues, and abnormal physiological changes that could indicate underlying health conditions. Unlike X-rays, mammograms, or MRIs, thermography does not use radiation or direct contact, making it a safe alternative for preventative health screening and ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions.

At Pure Health in Encinitas, we offer Medical Thermography through Dr. Christine Horner, MD, a highly experienced physician specializing in thermal imaging. Dr. Horner visits our clinic once a quarter on a Saturday to provide this cutting-edge service.
How Does Medical Thermography Work?
Medical thermography uses an infrared camera to scan the body and measure temperature variations on the skin’s surface. These heat patterns can indicate:
Inflammation – a key marker for chronic disease and injury
Circulatory dysfunction – poor blood flow and vascular concerns
Lymphatic congestion – a sign of immune system imbalances
Nerve damage – associated with chronic pain and neuropathy
Hormonal imbalances – such as thyroid or breast health concerns
Musculoskeletal issues – including sports injuries and joint dysfunction
The Process
1
A high-resolution, highly-sensitive infrared camera captures thermal images of the target area(s).
2
The images are analyzed to detect abnormal heat patterns and temperature irregularities.
3
A report is generated and reviewed by Dr. Horner, providing insights into your current health status.
Appointments for Medical Thermography with Dr. Horner are available once a quarter on a Saturday at Pure Health in Encinitas. Due to limited availability, we recommend booking early to secure your spot.
