Whole Body Regulation Thermometry
At Integrative Medical Specialists, we offer Whole Body Regulation Thermometry as part of a comprehensive Integrative Medicine evaluation. Developed through decades of clinical use within European Integrative Medicine, this infrared technology has been incorporated into the evaluation process at several well-known Integrative Medicine clinics, including the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland.
Our clinic in Olathe, Kansas, provides Whole Body Regulation Thermometry for patients throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area and surrounding communities who are seeking a broader understanding of their health through an Integrative Medicine approach.
Traditional imaging studies such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and mammography evaluate the structure of the body. Whole Body Regulation Thermometry provides additional functional information by evaluating physiologic temperature patterns and Autonomic Nervous System responses. When interpreted together with your health history, physical examination, Laboratory Evaluation, Diagnostic Imaging, and other clinical findings, it may help guide further evaluation and treatment recommendations.
How Whole Body Regulation Thermometry Works
Whole Body Regulation Thermometry is a non-invasive infrared assessment that measures skin temperature at approximately 90 to 120 standardized locations before and after a controlled cooling stimulus. The resulting temperature patterns are analyzed using established thermometric protocols to evaluate physiologic regulation and Autonomic Nervous System responses.
Whole Body Regulation Thermometry utilizes FDA-cleared infrared thermographic technology as an adjunctive clinical tool. Rather than evaluating the structure of organs and tissues, it provides additional functional information that is considered as part of your comprehensive health evaluation.

Whole Body Thermometry Report Summary
A Functional Perspective
Some patients experience symptoms before structural changes become apparent on conventional imaging or laboratory testing. Whole Body Regulation Thermometry provides another perspective by evaluating physiologic regulation, circulation, and temperature patterns throughout the body.
When combined with your complete clinical evaluation, this information may help your doctor:
- Identify areas that may benefit from additional evaluation
- Help determine whether additional evaluation may be appropriate
- Monitor physiologic changes over time
- Develop recommendations based on your health care needs and goals
Because the Autonomic Nervous System influences many functions throughout the body, evaluating physiologic regulation provides another perspective when looking at your overall health.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with the Whole Body Regulation Thermometry assessment, which is performed by trained clinical staff. Following the assessment, a detailed report is generated for physician review.
Your doctor carefully interprets the findings within the context of your health history, physical examination, Laboratory Evaluation, Diagnostic Imaging, and other clinical information. During your follow-up consultation, the findings are reviewed with you, your questions are answered, and recommendations for additional evaluation or treatment are discussed when appropriate.
Our staff will explain the evaluation process, scheduling, and answer any questions before your appointment.
Our Approach
At Integrative Medical Specialists, Whole Body Regulation Thermometry is interpreted as part of your comprehensive health evaluation. Considering both structural and functional information provides a more complete understanding of your health and helps guide recommendations based on your individual health care needs and goals.

Yes. Whole Body Regulation Thermometry is a non-invasive infrared assessment that does not use ionizing radiation.
How is Whole Body Regulation Thermometry different from MRI, CT, ultrasound, or mammography?
Traditional imaging studies evaluate the structure of the body. Whole Body Regulation Thermometry provides additional functional information by evaluating physiologic temperature patterns and Autonomic Nervous System responses. The findings are interpreted as part of your comprehensive health evaluation.
Who may benefit from Whole Body Regulation Thermometry?
Whole Body Regulation Thermometry may be appropriate for individuals seeking a broader functional assessment as part of an Integrative Medicine evaluation. Whether this technology is appropriate depends on your health history, symptoms, and clinical findings.
How are the results reviewed?
Following your Whole Body Regulation Thermometry assessment, a detailed report is generated for the doctors interpretation. During your consultation, your doctor reviews the findings with you, explains how they relate to your overall health, answers your questions, and discusses whether additional evaluation or recommendations may be appropriate.
