The COREscore nervous system scan
See what your nervous system has been carrying.
An easy, non-invasive, objective scan that shows how your brain and body are communicating, right now, for kids and adults alike. No guessing, no vague promises - just a starting point and a way to track your progress.
Non-invasive · Completed in minutes · Used at every stage of care
When was the last time anyone measured your nervous system?
Most of us only check in with our bodies when something hurts. The COREscore scan is different: it is an objective reading of how well your brain and body are communicating, taken before pain shows up, not after.
It is non-invasive and painless, and it takes just a few minutes. We use it on your first visit to build your care plan, then re-check it strategically throughout your care so you can see real progress in numbers, not just guess by how you feel that day.
What the scan actually reads.
The COREscore assessment is designed to detect and pinpoint hidden patterns of stress on the nervous system, patterns that will not show up on an X-ray and often are not felt as pain until they have built up for a while, much like a heart attack develops silently before it is felt.
A heat scan along the spine: we read subtle temperature differences from one level of your spine to another and from side to side. Heat is a byproduct of circulation, which is controlled by your autonomic nervous system, so this gives us a window into how that system is functioning.
A surface impulse scan: we also measure surface electrical impulses along your spine, which helps show how stress may be affecting the nerves that control your muscles. Together with the heat scan, it gives Dr. Tom an objective baseline for your care plan.
How the scan fits into your care.
Baseline scan
Your first visit includes a COREscore scan alongside a thorough spinal and nervous system exam - a starting point, not a diagnosis.
Report of Findings
At a follow-up visit, usually within a few days, Dr. Tom explains your results in plain language and builds a care plan around them.
Progress re-scans
Re-scans are scheduled strategically throughout your care, so you can see the trend in your numbers instead of relying on how you feel that day.
“Providing the highest level of care for our patients is the goal, and the COREscore is a powerful and simple way to measure, and report, the efficiency of a person’s spinal nerves.”
“I came in exhausted and wound tight. I sleep better, I move better, and my re-scan proved it wasn’t just in my head.”
Questions about the COREscore scan.
What is a COREscore scan?
The COREscore scan is a non-invasive, painless assessment of how well your brain and body are communicating. It reads spinal heat differences and surface electrical impulses along your spine, information that can point to stress on the nervous system before it is felt as pain, much like a heart attack often builds silently before symptoms appear.
Does the scan hurt?
No. The COREscore scan is painless and takes just a few minutes. Nothing is inserted, nothing is invasive, and it is comfortable for kids and adults alike.
Can kids get a COREscore scan?
Yes. The scan is gentle enough for children and is often part of a first visit for pediatric patients, giving us an objective baseline before any care begins.
What do the colors and bars on the scan mean?
Each bar represents one level of your spine. Longer, warmer-colored bars (moving toward red) show more stress on that side of the nervous system, while shorter, green or white bars show calmer, more balanced communication. The pattern helps Dr. Tom see where to focus your care.
How often will I get rescanned?
Your first scan is performed at your initial visit to build a baseline, and Dr. Tom schedules progress exams strategically throughout your care so you can see numbers change over time instead of relying on how you feel that day.
Do I still need X-rays with a COREscore scan?
Not always. X-rays may be taken depending on your age and situation, but many patients, including most children and pregnant moms, do not need them. Any X-rays are explained in detail at your Report of Findings visit.
