There is no doubt that your brain is at the center of your livelihood. From muscle movements to holding conversations, your brain is at the center of it all. When you experience a traumatic injury to the brain, there can be lifelong repercussions. At McWhorter CNR, it is our top priority to help patients revive their post-injury brain through innovative treatments so they can take back control of their life. TransLingual NeuroStimulation (TLNS) is an innovative treatment we proudly offer at our state-of-the-art neurological treatment center to help patients find the relief and results they are looking for.

What is TransLingual NeuroStimulation?

TransLingual NeuroStimulation is a method of neuromodulation and is highly effective at stimulating the brain and central nervous system. When these systems are damaged, medication will not actively stimulate them to bring about healing.

By undergoing this treatment at McWhorter CNR, our team of neuro-specialists may help enhance your brain and your recovery. We accomplish this goal by stimulating the cranial nerves that innervate the tongue for movement, sensation, and taste and act as a highway to the brain.

TLNS has been shown to be effective at modulating reaction speed, the brain’s processing power, smooth motor outputs, improved proprioception, and much more. The primary benefits of this treatment include:

  • Improved blood flow (i.e., nutrients and oxygen)
  • Improved nervous connection between your brain and muscles
  • Upregulate brainstem areas
  • Modulate cortex engagement and connectivity
  • Improve autonomic function (i.e., your fight or flight response)
  • Positive effect on cellular metabolism

How Does TransLingual NeuroStimulation Work?

TLNS uses specific pulse rates and milliamperage to stimulate your tongue via small electrical probes. The electrical current will feel like a small tingling sensation on your tongue that is nearly painless.

During your treatment, the electrical current interacts with your 5th cranial nerve, called the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for the general sensation of your tongue. The trigeminal nuclei are the only nuclei in the brainstem that spans its entire length and even reach down into the cervical spinal cord. By stimulating these nuclei, we are able to “light up” or stimulate the entirety of your cortex.

Studies show that just 30 seconds of TLNS supplies up to 7 hours of increased cortical excitability. Think of your brainstem as the funnel for your brain. By performing this therapy prior to the rest of your personalized rehabilitation plan, you are able to give your brain a better neuroplastic effect, changing and adapting to your environment more efficiently.

Who Can Benefit from TransLingual NeuroStimulation in Denver?

TLNS is a treatment your physician may prescribe on your personalized rehabilitation plan after undergoing a thorough examination and diagnosis. Many different conditions can benefit greatly from this treatment, such as:

  • Concussions
  • mTBIs (minor Traumatic Brain Injuries)
  • Strokes
  • Dysautonomia
  • Dizziness, balance, and vestibular deficits
  • Light and/or sound sensitivity

Review1

My wife and I have had a lot of success working with Dr. McWhorters team. Every one is his office is warm, knowledgeable, and eager to help us on every visit. To date our greatest successes have come through working heavily with Dr. Phillips. He has not only become an incredible resource for healing and self exploration, but he has also become a friend. We are tremendously fortunate to have access to this great team & facility.

Review2

Very knowledgeable and caring staff. My wife and I are from Pennsylvania and she has been struggling with MDDS dizziness/nausea since 2019. After coming up empty in the PA market we found Dr McWhorter’s center in Colorado and my wife has definitely seen progress in only 2-weeks that she hasn’t seen in 4yrs. Entire staff is accommodating to questions and willing to help. Thank you.

Review3

Dr Philips is the best doctor that I have ever consulted! He takes great care and looks carefully at every aspect of your health issues and he made sure that I understood what his prognosis was and what and why he recommended the treatments he prescribed. I have never in my 62 years had such comprehensive evaluation nor have I ever felt as confident in a Doctor! Highly recommend! The customer service is wonderful , you really feel so cared for.

Review4

The whole team at McWhorter CNR is phenomenal. I have a complex case and they have gone above and beyond to help me get my life back. They have been so kind and understanding. Dr Phillips has worked with me diligently to improve many aspects of my health. I have utilized many of their services over the past few months and have been happy with each of them. If you suffer from issues post concussion, chronic illness, panic disorder, depression, or issues stemming from extreme stress, this is the place for you!

Review5

The team at McWhorter CNR is a very professional group; they made sure I had the best care possible. Besides being professional, they are also a kind and caring bunch; I felt like family while working on my therapy! Dr. McWhorter is a skilled diagnostician, developing a specific treatment plan for each patient. My program (for MDDS) was intense but enjoyable! I am feeling the benefits of the therapies I completed, feeling less dizzy as I continue in my everyday life! THANK YOU MCWHORTER CNR!!!! :)

Review6

So accommodating and knowledgeable. Best help! I’ve had unbelievable results since my spinal tumor removal. This rehab plan has been the most helpful over the last 4 years. Thank you Dr. McWhorter.

Review7

I saw Dr McWhorter for dizziness and had a great experience. He is very thorough and really took the time to explain what was happening to me. Dr DeBeer and that rest of the team were so great and helped me during a difficult time. The gyro stim treatments really helped me improve and get back to work

Review8

Started seeing Dr Mchworter for 3 years now and he is the best in his field. His knowledge of the brain is incredible. I was unaware of some of the issues that were lingering from a few old concussions and he helped correct them and got me back competition ready quickly. I highly recommend him if you have had any concussions and or want to improve your athletic performance.
