Aclarion Adds High-Volume Practice, Source Healthcare, to Support Nociscan Growth and Real-World Evidence Generation

• Expands availability of Nociscan in the greater Los Angeles area
• Reinforces Nociscan’s non-invasive advantage with real-world clinical validation compared to anesthetic discography, a spinal injection procedure
• Supports scalable growth strategy while building data assets critical to payer and provider adoption
  
  
  
  

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a commercial-stage healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today it has established an agreement with , a state-of-the-art orthopedic and regenerative health clinic in Los Angeles to help address a key gap in addressing low back pain.

The agreement aligns with Aclarion’s expansion strategy by bringing Nociscan to Source Healthcare and the multidisciplinary team led by interventional pain management specialist, Timothy T. Davis, MD. Moreover, the growing evidence base for Nociscan will be strengthened by adding a high-volume clinical practice where real-world evidence comparing Nociscan and anesthetic discography will be generated. An anesthetic discogram is a diagnostic spinal injection procedure used to identify specific spinal disc(s) causing chronic pain. Nociscan is a non-invasive alternative that objectively measures pain and structural integrity biomarkers in spinal discs through an MRI-like experience for the patient.

“Our team at Source Healthcare emphasize holistic-care and science backed solutions for pain relief of those suffering from spine and chronic pain,” said Tim Davis, MD, interventional pain management specialist and founder of Source Healthcare. “We see and treat a lot of patients with chronic low back pain and degenerative disc disease. Historically, we have used lumbar MRI and anesthetic discography with good results. We are excited to gain access to Nociscan, a MR Spectroscopy test that objectively evaluates various pain and structural integrity biomarkers non-invasively, something not available from MRI or discography. We believe this test will become a valuable part of our care pathways.”

“Nociscan has demonstrated improved outcomes and lower costs in peer-reviewed published literature when studied in the spinal fusion market. This study is our first opportunity to establish evidence within the much larger pain management field,” stated Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer of Aclarion. “We are pleased to be working with Dr. Davis, a true leader in the field of Pain Management, on this seminal real-world evidence work.”

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a global healthcare problem with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain. Aclarion’s Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain and demonstrates a 97% surgical success rate when all Nociscan-positive discs are treated.

About Aclarion, Inc.

Aclarion is a healthcare technology company that leverages Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (“MRS”), proprietary signal processing techniques, biomarkers, and augmented intelligence algorithms to optimize clinical treatments. The Company is first addressing the chronic low back pain market with Nociscan, the first, evidence-supported, SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Through a cloud connection, Nociscan receives magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data from an MRI machine for each lumbar disc being evaluated. In the cloud, proprietary signal processing techniques extract and quantify chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. Biomarker data is entered into proprietary algorithms to indicate if a disc may be a source of pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain, giving physicians clarity to optimize treatment strategies.
