Innovative Treatments for Brain & Spine Injuries
The practice offers cutting-edge treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurological disorders, including:
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): A non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has shown significant therapeutic benefits for patients recovering from brain injuries, including TBI and stroke.
- Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy: A state-of-the-art treatment using near-infrared (NIR) light (600-1100 nm) to promote brain tissue healing and neuroprotection. PBM has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing oxidative stress, decreasing inflammation, and enhancing neurogenesis and synaptogenesis in TBI and other central nervous system disorders.
Personal Injury & Medicolegal Expertise
In addition to advanced treatment options, Dr. Koga provides case reviews, patient assessments, and surgical treatment for personal injury and other medicolegal cases.
