Being proactive, especially when it comes to health and medicine, is extremely important. The knowledge of future conditions or diseases can shape how you take care of your body today. This means you may eat certain foods and stay away from others, go for frequent testing, or take additional measures to prevent the illness.
Northport Wellness Center's newest partner Moshe Dekel, MD specializes in breast, thyroid, and dental screening thermography - one of the most accurate tests used to evaluate the health of the body and prevent future challenges.
Thermography utilizes a special camera to take infrared images of the body, enabling the tool to detect and monitor several diseases and physical injuries. The alternative or complimentary screening assesses tissue to evaluate potential abnormalities. This non-invasive procedure is pain-free and doesn't involve interaction.
The test can be used to screen for breast cancer, the most common cancer among American women, to address symptoms or disorders before they get worse. Thermography can also be used to monitor thyroid issues and understand their dental health and how it relates to their overall well-being. Unlike X-rays and other testing, thermography doesn't utilize radiation. Results are immediate.
Dr. Dekel has become an expert in thermography, bioidentical hormone replacement, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy for multiple conditions. He is the only board-certified OB/GYN specializing in holistic, integrative medicine and age management medicine in the New York City tri-state area with a truly holistic approach to care.
In practice for more than 39 years, Dr. Dekel has served as an assistant clinical professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, chief of gynecologic surgery at Long Island Surgi-Center, and as medical director of the Long Island Birthing Center on Long Island, New York. He also investigated stem cell therapy for more than a year before incorporating it into his pain-management treatments and now recommends this revolutionary therapy for a wide range of conditions.
Dr. Dekel’s primary goal since retiring from surgeries and deliveries in 2000 has been helping men and women achieve better health through functional medicine, bioidentical hormones, nutritional counseling, and nutritional supplementation. He uses holistic medicine to prevent and treat conditions like diabetes, erectile dysfunction, chronic pain, obesity, and high blood pressure.
