CASE STUDY #7 – SPINAL CONDITION

The patient in this case presented with chronic pain and tingling sensations isolated to the left lower leg. He had been treated conservatively for peripheral nerve entrapment with little to no changes in his symptoms. As per IACT guidelines, a lower body thermogram was performed. The thermogram showed a hypothermic (cold) distribution along the L4 and L5 thermatomes. This finding suggested that the problem existed at the spine. A follow-up MRI confirmed the spinal condition. The thermogram helped this patient to get the cause of his symptoms and the treatment he needed.
