Abstract/Notes The results of a blinded pilot study researching the correlation of thermographic abnormalities and spinal segmental dysfunction are presented. The highest agreement resulted between focal increases in thermal emission and fixation (64.7%). Other parameters studied were tenderness and textural skin changes which agreed with thermographic findings 63.7% and 59.9% respectively. Correlation coefficients were calculated for each subject and reasons for the wide range (r = .14 to .77) were discussed. Discussion of this research design and suggestions for future study were also presented.
