Dr. Glen Zielinski from Northwest Functional Neurology in Lake Oswego, OR, joins us to talk about how he’s using cutting-edge, image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology to treat more than just depression. With neuro-navigated TMS, he's able to target specific brain regions with millimeter precision—and he's not stopping there.

Dr. Zielinski walks us through how he customizes every treatment using detailed neurodiagnostic testing, identifying exactly where and why the brain isn't functioning properly. Instead of using generic protocols, he fine-tunes TMS treatment plans based on individual brain mapping.

We also dive into:

  • How the default mode network and salience network are key players in emotional dysregulation after concussion
  • Why combining TMS with targeted neurological rehab exercises leads to stunning outcomes—like a 96% response rate and remission rates in the high 80s
  • The use of TMS for dystonias, dysautonomia, movement disorders, and more
  • Key contraindications you need to know before considering TMS

Whether you’re a patient exploring new treatment options or a clinician wanting to deepen your understanding of brain-targeted therapies, this episode is packed with insight you won’t want to miss.
