Review from Katie T.
San Jose, CA
After a hand injury this summer, I have seen physical therapists and acupuncturists. My 2nd therapist helped me with strengthening my hands but the pain around my hands just didn't go away. Acupuncture treatments seemed to help with the pain, but temporarily. With around 50% use of left hand and constant pain especially on my left hand, I was looking for a chiropractor who can do adjustments of my wrists. I kind of hesitated to go this clinic because there were no reviews about a hand injury.
However, I read all the reviews at least twice and decided to try this clinic. After the first visit, my pain on left hand decreased significantly. Dr Ryan & Harada, who I saw, are very professional, caring, gentle and attentive. I was impressed with their knowledge and skills despite of their relative inexperience. Dr Harada's massage is really good; painful but effective and addictive. After several visits for my hands with Dr Harada, I could use my left hand a lot more and the pain on my left hand is almost gone. He also helped me with my neck, shoulders and low back. Easy to make/change appointments, easy to communicate with anyone in the office, and very friendly staff. -

5 stars is not enough!! I came to SCORE when I was only 18 after I was involved in a work injury. After over a year and no answered he helped me to get a mch needed MRI. I was told I needed major back surgery and could barely get out of bed. After having a consultation with Dr. O I was told he could help.
Boy was he right. Dr. O and the staff helped me get t life back without using surgery. Sports related or not this place is top notch! -

plus .5 repeating decimal~ :)
My guess is that I am Dr.Omura's longest patient! I had seen him maybe 60 times prior to his opening SCORE knowing him from his previous employment.
I had 47 orthopedic surgeries since 1998! Yep-47! Should I wait? Should I call the Guinness book! Should I get a few more surgeries prior to trying out for a Frankenstein movie? What should I do!
Anyway, Dr.O has performed A.R.T., ultra sound, PT, EMS Grastan and every and any other form of therapy on every joint in my body over the past 12 years! He has even fitted me for orthotics a few times. And let's not forget the Isagenix cleanse!
Wrists, shoulders, knee,ankle,hips.......he's been there as I have had surgery on all of these and I have received extra VIP and quality state of the art treatment, or should I say HELP from SCORE with genuine care and a fingers crossed concern by all I would and could recover. Yet one more time!
I have had so much treatment here I could go to a medical supply store, buy a white doctors robe, get my name embroider on the pocket and start applying therapy to Dr.O's patience! . I have recommended lots of people, from a guy who dropped a 20 pound plate on his big toe at the gym to a street person limping with bursitis I drove over there once about five years ago! The Great quality treatment here has been so vast and valuable I'm indebted to SCORE!
I feel I have been around so long that I'm on the second generation of some of the staff chiropractors who got married since working for Dr O, and raised Palmer grad offspring since I have known him! !-just kidding!
At last, I highly recommend and will keep going to SCORE as long as I have insurance......possibly a few days longer! .
Oh! And did I mention I have had over 2 dozen messages here as well! Come to think of it, I should bring a pillow and a night light and just move in sep Doctor Omura would supply me the anatomically, chiro correct pillow so I wouldn't have to pull one out from under my wife's head before coming in!...............and yes, She has been to SCORE many times as well given a Ken Ru Kempo Jui Jitsu workout routine that sometimes lands her as well in Doctor O's care-Thank you Ted. Can I call you Ted? I appreciate as much as any patient the years of care and rehab we go through together have afforded me. Now I f could just hire someone to do the bouncing in my club instead of getting beat up, I'd be lonely not coming in so often! -
Review from Jane E.
San Jose, CA
From training, I had grown and gotten used to the pain from my left shoulder all the way to numbness on 3 finger tips. I was always skeptical about someone working on me, however I couldn't wait any longer. Being friends with Dr. Omura for a few years, he would always tell me to come in and get worked on to fix it. I finally decided to do it, otherwise I couldn't work with the team anymore. All of the therapists did such a great job working on me a few times a week that my arm is stronger than ever, and I go in for maintenance depending on what I've got going on. I do recommend trying SCORE out if you've got some type of injury. They do a great job!

Review from Monica L.
Thank you to a good friend for recommending Score to me! I am so happy to have found a great chiropractic place that takes my insurance! Finally no longer having to pay lots of money to be adjusted and now that I am pregnant....I need weekly visits due to my lower back and tailbone pain.
I have been seeing Dr. Travis and he is awesome! Super personable and friendly and easy to talk to. I love my visits with him and always feel 100% better after my visits. They usually start me out in one of the rooms on my left hip and the Dr. uses this machine that sort of reminds me of a sander to massage my lower back really well. It feels great!
Then he moves me over to an adjustment table where we do some leg stretches and then on to the adjustments. Every week is a little different for me since he is slowly trying to accommodate to my growing belly and use the best techniques to achieve optimal feel good status.
I highly recommend this place for your adjustments and regular appts! -
Review from stacy w.
San Jose, CA
I HIGHLY recommend Score clinic. I was treated for both a sports injury and an injury from a car accident and received excellent care for both. They have several chiropractors on staff as well as technicians and massage therapists. There is a gym with workout machines onsite which is large enough to accommodate mats and rollers for stretching. Even the table they use to ice an injury has a massage component. The staff is both compassionate and professional, each member of the team working hard to get me back to 100%. I will definitely continue to use them for wellness care. And the location is great, I always found parking. Couldn't ask for a better clinic.

San Jose, CA
Great Chiropractors, have made quite a bit of progress on my knee after just 2 visits. Friendly, co-active atmosphere and a warm vibe always comes with the Dr. Travis and the intern Jeff. The front ladys are a bit colder and the Isogenix stuff all over the place seems a little much but everything aside from that is amazing.

Review from Sasha P.
San Francisco, CA
From Hilda and Amanda in the front office, to all of the doctors and assistants, the entire staff at SCORE is always courteous, friendly, professional, and talented!
Once you get past the cheerful and radiant smiles at the front, be prepared to have the clock turned back on your physique!
I first went to Dr. O 3 years ago as a follow-up to various auto and sports injuries. Since then, he's helped fix shoulder injuries, motorcycle crashes, pulled and cramped muscles, lower back pain and the list goes on...brush teeth, go to work, eat, train, use Oli of Olay, go to SCORE Clinic!
I LOVE being active, and the only way I am able to function is to eat properly, get enough sleep, take the right supplements, and go in for my chiropractic and physical therapy tune-ups.
No matter what your age or needs are, Dr. O will defitneily use the right combination of therapy techniques to have you feeling great in a jiffy!
I am able to use my insurance benefits for their services. Their hours are very convenient and accommodating for parents and working professionals.Listed in: Bay Area Bodybuilding, Fitness…

Review from David T.
San Jose, CA
Dr. O's treatment has greatly improved my back pain and sciatica caused by herniated disc. My condition comes and goes for 12 years and I have had shots, acupuncture, even Medical Qi Gong.
Since Oct 2010 till Feb 2011, I have been in pain and there was no sign of getting better. Dr. O was my last try for non-surgical treatment. He put me on traction, gave me adjustment and taught me appropriate exercises. I have been mostly pain free for about several weeks.
I really appreciate that Dr. O and his team, especially Gino help me get better. - Karen in San Jose, CA -
Review from Connie C.
San Jose, CA
My neck, shoulders and back have been bothering me for some time now, and when I started to feel more pain recently, my guy recommended that I visit his chiropractor, Dr. Omura, who he's been to for years. I'd never been seen by a chiropractor, so I really didn't know what to expect, and if it would truly relieve my pain.
When I arrived at the office, I noticed that the walls were covered in autographed glossies of athletes. I knew that I would be in good hands.
Prior to my adjustment, they attached an electric muscle stimulator on four points on my back, which went for what seemed like at least 10 minutes. It felt super weird to feel my muscles spasm like that, but it was actually relaxing at the same time. After the EMS, they used a huge thumping massager all over my back, which was pretty intense.
At this point, I was really relaxed. Dr. O (as most patients call him) adjusted me, and I almost instantly felt a difference. He took time to explain why the pain occurs, and how to help prevent it. He suggested that I return for a follow up where he would teach me stretches. I thought Dr. O was super knowledgeable and loved his upbeat personality.
What's great about this clinic is that there are various other treatments that they offer. They do specialize in sports chiropractics, and also offer message therapy, acupuncture and personal training.
My body feels a lot better, and I know that with occasional visits, I'll be able to maintain it. Thanks, Dr. O! -
Review from Matt H.
I've been a patient of Dr O's on and off since 1998. I recently came back into the fold as the wifey was having hip issues due to a bunch of running events she was doing. Dr O and his staff to the rescue! They were able to patch her up, teach her some stretches and roller moves to help out. She was very happy with their service.
Since she was going there, I decided to have them look at my shin splints. They've worked miracles! I'm walking long distances at brisk pace with no flare ups and they also helped me through a moderate ankle ligament sprain.
Check this place out if you need an adjustment, sports therapy, injury-rehab, or a second opinion before surgery, you and your body will be thankful you did! -
Review from Don C.
San Jose, CA
I came to SCORE because of their Sports Chiropractic focus. I had a knee surgery that didn't really solve the problem, and my doctor wanted to do another arthroscopic surgery.
Dr. Omura and Dr. Brink helped me get a handle on the problem and build my knee back up. Getting the mechanics right helped my back as well as my knee.
I'm doing all my sports again, and I can truly say they helped me avoid another surgery.
These guys are the best. -

3/6/2010 I have been going to Score Clinic for approximately 2 years. All of the doctors are great, but Dr. O is what I commonly refer to as "The Master." I have had a chronic problem with my back and neck for years and Dr. O goes above and beyond to treat me. I had pain and numbness in my arm and hand. With Dr. O's care, I have regained feeling in my hand and the pain in my back and neck is down to a 1 or 2 from a 7 or 8!
I have referred many friends and coworkers to Score and I tell them if they don't get relief from the first visit, I'll reimburse them for it! Not one person has asked me for a refund and each has continued to call Score when they need them. THANKS DR. O AND STAFF FOR ALL YOU DO! YOU ARE TRULY ALL AWESOME !1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from randolph m.
Oakland, CA
As a product support engineer for a large multinational, I travel overseas extensively, often times working long hours and routinely dealing with jet lag. Plus when I get home, I try to be active as possible, hitting the gym regularly, practicing kenpo karate, mountain biking, hiking, and just overall exploring what the Bay Area has to offer.
It's great to know that I have a solid Doc in my corner to get readjusted when life deals me an unexpected twist.
I can recommend Dr. Tom Vo as a chiropractor without reservation.
I began seeing him about seven years ago after a "near miss" weightlifting accident that caused me considerable lower back pain. His overall professionalism, attention to detail, and concern for his patients is exemplary. He really goes the extra mile, not just in treating a specific injury but in looking at the bigger picture (job factors, genetics, nutrition, exercise regimen, and overall health) to diagnose what is the best long term solution tailored for each individual. His back stretching and strengthening routine is the bomb!
And the overall Score clinic is top notch. Dr. O and company must have a good thing going. Just check out all of the 8 x 10's on the wall. If this place is good enough for the likes of Jeff Speakman and Jerry Rice, it's good enough for me! -
Review from Jane R.
Los Altos, CA
Introduced to this chiropractor, "Dr. O" and his clinic about six years ago by a friend, I like to visit from time to time for the comprehensive treatments.
The friendly staff are caring and competent. I am usually brought to a private room to have electrical stimulation with heat and then massage prior to any adjustments. Dr. O also is very knowledgeable about physiology and tailors his treatments to the needs of the patients.
Afterward, I get to enjoy lying on the massage table w/ or w/o ice. The atmosphere is so relaxed that I sometimes meet a friend there whenever one of us is having treatment! Enjoy! -
Review from Chihiro F.
Santa Clara, CA
This place is AWESOME!
A co-worker recommended SCORE while I was training for a marathon. I had never really considered going to a chiropractor, but I was having some moderate knee pain (pretty common for runners), and my Primary Care doctor didn't really do anything for me, so I decided to give Dr. O's office a try.
Aside from the usual adjustments that chiropractors usually do, Dr. O and his staff taught me stretches and hip/glut exercises that helped my knee tracking issues. After a month or so, I was able to run longer and faster with fewer issues.
I recently finished my first half-marathon, and I wouldn't have been able to do so without SCORE Clinic. I actually went a few days before my race and had Dr. Brink tape up my injured ankle, which definitely helped with my performance.
The great thing about SCORE Clinic is they try to get to the root of your pain and injuries and provide long-term solutions. They also have a ton of experience with athletes (they do a lot of sports themselves). To top it off, they take many insurance plans, unlike some other clinics. -
Review from Ruben G.
San Jose, CA
I have been going to SCORE for the past couple of years for rehab on my shoulder, knee, ankles, you name it i have injured it....sometimes the price one pays for being a weekend warrior.
Dr. O and his staff are awesome. I had knee surgery back in April of last year. My surgeon said i would be back to running in 6 mos. SCORE got me back in 4.
I highly recommend SCORE. -
Review from Tanya C.
San Jose, CA
I have been going to SCORE clinic for many years. The clinic is very clean and the staff is awesome. Hilda is always there always ready to help with scheduling appointments, insurance issues...you name it.
Dr. O is amazing he tries to understand the issue and come up with the best way of treating it. I have had several traumas that he was able to help me with.
I also had a chance to get a couple of treatments form Dr. Brink and was very impressed by his skills as well.
If you need chiropractic help do not hesitate and get relief form the SCORE clinic -
Review from Heidi G.
San Jose, CA
I'd heard great things about Dr. Vo from my husband and a colleague at work. So I decided to see him to see if he could help. In August I broke my leg playing soccer. I had surgery with a 6 week recovery period where I was told not to bend my knee. At 6 weeks, I started going to Physical Therapy at Omega Sports in Los Gatos. I went there for 3 months and was still walking with a limp and was experiencing some pain due to severe tendinitis. I started seeing Dr. Vo in January of '08. I had one session with him, then had to take a week off due to business travel. While traveling, my leg was a disaster. I was limping and was in severe pain. I got back and started seeing him 3 times a week. His treatment was amazing. He paid attention to detail and really listened. Every time I went I explained where it hurt and he quizzed on what exactly I was doing when it hurt and told me things to look for next time etc. After two treatments, the chronic swelling I had around my knee was gone.
He focused not just on my injury but how my body was working in general. He found that my hips were mis-aligned and I had knots up and down my bad leg all taking away from the healing.
I am now able to run again and do normal activities without any pain. I am also happy to say that my limp is gone.
I will still see Dr Vo for tune-ups but my treatment with him is done. I think I saw him a total of 11 times. Extremely happy with the outcome.
My husband had an IT Band issue about 2 years ago and saw Dr. Vo and was able to resume back to his normal activities within weeks as well. Highly Recommend him. -
Review from The M.
San Jose, CA
Just left the clinic after being left (lying on my back) in an open area for 10 minutes waiting to be adjusted. This would not have been bad if I had not been waiting for another 10 minutes after the electrical machine had finished its cycle. Not very professional.
I was disappointed that they did not appreciate their client's time and schedule.
It was my second time with the clinic and was hoping to get relief for my lower back pain. -
Review from Mike H.
Portland, OR
It all started on a dark Thursday night, I was in the midst of moving, and everybody was taking too long to move the kitchen table. I must have pulled something in the process because when I woke up the next morning, my back was so stiff I was literally hunched over. Imagine the Hunchback of Norte Dame, but in his mid 20's and better looking.
Initially I went to the Family life chiropractic because it was conveniently on my walk to San Jose State. Read my review of that place if you wish, but I'll just say it was displeasing experience. Now, I will summarize. Dr. Vo is my doctor at the Score clinic and I'm glad I found him. He told me his certification, this certification allows him to look at insurance claims and review the evaluations made by other chiropractors. He said the reviews by Family life were exaggerated, the number of visits far exaggerated, and the cost the most exaggerated. Instead of recommending 32 visits and a cost of $1600, he said he would see me 8 times the first month, and 4 times a month for the next month or two thereafter. Dr. Vo's evaluation was correct, as I asked my brother in-law (a chiropractor himself ) about what he thought. The staff at Score is very friendly. I see once or twice a month for maintenance. Dr. Vo charges me $50 per visit, which is on my own accord. I also started seeing their masseuse, Tisha, charging $40 per half hour massage session. I have had a pleasant experience at Score clinic, and I'm glad I found Dr. Vo, he's great. -

Been coming to Score for a while now. Started out when I was training for a marathon in 2002 and my IT band was bothering me. They took great care of me! Everyone here is extremely friendly and the place is well organized.

Review from Bruce N.
Santa Clara, CA
I threw out my back last year and was in severe pain. After waiting for it to go away with no relief, Dr. Omura and Dr. Brink treated me and I immediately started feeling better. Dr. Omura emphasizes finding preventative methods to reduce the stress that causes pain while also reducing any current pain. From workout tips to stretch techniques, he takes the time to show you how to do things properly for better health.
When I started having lower back pain this year, a series of treatments from Dr. Omura plus massages from the wonderful massage therapists on staff have eased the pain immensely. I love getting an adjustment followed by a massage as it reinvigorates me every time. All three of the massage therapists I've seen there are beyond wonderful. -

I've been going to Score clinic for years. They've helped me with so many sports injuries - the latest is recovery from a cycling accident.
All of the docs are great and the staff are all personable and helpful as well. I highly recommend Score. -
Review from Bernice T.
San Jose, CA
As a dancer, I've pulled a few muscles and sprained my foot. However, thanks to Dr. Omura and Dr. Brink, I have been able to return to dance within one or four weeks, depending on the injury. And as a instructor/choreographer, I've sent many of my injuried dancers to SCORE, to be "put back together". Not only is the SCORE team friendly, they are truly gifted and care about getting you back to doing what you love to do. In my case, dance.

Review from Robert C.
San Francisco, CA
I've trained in martial arts for a long time, but in recent years, I've had more neck, shoulder, and back injuries from trying to keep up with the younger guys. Dr. Omura's technical ability was so far ahead of anyone I had ever tried in San Francisco that I'm willing to drive 50 minutes to San Jose for treatment. He combines traditional chiropractic treatment with modern physical therapy and rehab practices so that I can strengthen the injured area after the adjustment. I've recommended him to family and friends who also came back feeling a lot better after treatments.

Review from Valerie F.
Campbell, CA
I highly recommend Score Clinic. Dr. Omura is terrific as my chiropractor. I would like to particularly single out Roger Kittles as a highly valuable staff member of the Score Clinic. Roger's area of specialization is therapeutic massage. He has all the required certifications and continues to pursue additional education and training. He knows your body better than you do and is able to locate the source of your pain without any input from you...but input from you is always encouraged. He is low-key and personable. My personal trainier, Brian Sunseri, originally recommended Roger to me...and I cannot thank him enough. I am in the process of resolving a very painful shoulder issue and am making good progress with Roger's help. I have had many deep tissue massages with other practitioners over the years, so I do have a lot of experience for comparison. I can tell you it is obvious that Roger really knows his stuff, and the other practitioners have a long way to go to catch up with him.

Review from Janet A.
Santa Clara, CA
Roger Kittles, massage therapist, is the BEST! Roger really know his stuff. He is professional, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable about human anatomy. Through simple touch he is able to find every ache and pain in my body. After assessing my needs, he begins his deep tissue massage, which works wonders! My whole family loves going to Roger. He also made our gift giving easier. We gift each other with "Massages by Roger" and while we are at it, we treat ourselves to a massage as well!
