When it suffers an injury or imbalance, the effects can ripple through your entire body and life.

At True Performance RSF, our mission is to help patients restore brain function and reclaim control through innovative neurological therapies. One of our most advanced options is TransLingual NeuroStimulation (TLNS), a groundbreaking treatment that supports recovery, brain health, and performance enhancement.


What Is TransLingual NeuroStimulation?

TransLingual NeuroStimulation (TLNS) is a neuromodulation therapy that stimulates the brain and central nervous system by targeting cranial nerves through the tongue. Unlike medications, which only manage symptoms, TLNS directly activates neural pathways to encourage healing and neuroplasticity.

  • Improved blood flow, oxygen, and nutrient delivery
  • Stronger brain-muscle communication
  • Enhanced cortical connectivity and engagement
  • Improved autonomic function (fight-or-flight response regulation)
  • Faster reaction times and smoother motor outputs
  • Positive effects on cellular metabolism

How Does TransLingual NeuroStimulation Work?

During treatment, small electrical probes deliver gentle pulses to the tongue. Patients typically experience only a mild tingling sensation. These pulses stimulate the 5th cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve), which connects deeply into the brainstem and cervical spinal cord.

By activating these nerve nuclei, TLNS effectively “lights up” the cortex, priming the brain for better performance and healing. Studies have shown that just 30 seconds of TLNS can result in up to 7 hours of increased cortical excitability, boosting the impact of subsequent therapies in a rehabilitation program.

At True Performance RSF, TLNS is often used before other neurological treatments to maximize neuroplasticity and accelerate recovery.

Who Can Benefit from TLNS in Rancho Santa Fe?

TLNS may be recommended as part of a personalized rehabilitation or performance plan after comprehensive evaluation.

Conditions and goals that may benefit include:

  • Concussions and post-concussion symptoms
  • Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI)
  • Stroke recovery
  • Dysautonomia and autonomic dysfunction
  • Dizziness, balance, or vestibular issues
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Neurological conditions such as MS, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s
  • Facial pain
  • Athletic performance enhancement (faster processing, improved reaction times)
