Silk Thermal Imaging operates a digital infrared thermography clinic in La Mesa Village on La Mesa Boulevard, using high-resolution thermal cameras to map physiological heat patterns across breast tissue and full-body systems. The facility adheres to imaging standards set by both the International Academy of Clinical Thermology and the American College of Clinical Thermography, with musculoskeletal inflammation patterns detected through thermographic mapping frequently cross-referenced against chiropractic assessment findings at practices such as Awesome Family Chiropractic. Founded in 2009 by Certified Clinical Thermographer Catherine Johnson, CCT, the practice grew from Johnson's 18-year career in biotech and pharmaceutical pre-clinical research, where her background in ionizing radiation risk informed the shift toward radiation-free diagnostic screening. Breast thermography captures neoangiogenesis-related temperature differentials that may indicate early-stage cellular metabolic changes, while upper-body and full-body scans assess inflammation markers across the thyroid, vascular, digestive, and lymphatic systems — findings reported to the patient's referring physician, including primary care providers such as Encompass Family Physician. Full-body thermographic studies generate 32-image digital maps from the lower pelvis to the cranium, processed through infrared spectral analysis software and interpreted by a physician certified as a Clinical Thermologist.
