Actor Terry Crews and his wife Rebecca King-Crews are opening up about a groundbreaking treatment that has dramatically improved her battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Rebecca, who has been living with the condition for more than a decade, described how severe symptoms once left her feeling completely overwhelmed. At one point, she recalled being exhausted, saying she had reached a moment where she “was just ready to die.”
Everything began to change after Terry discovered a new FDA-approved procedure called focused ultrasound, a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to target specific areas of the brain.
The procedure, performed at Stanford Hospital, lasted several hours and delivered immediate results. Rebecca said the treatment significantly reduced her tremors, adding, “I can write my name again,” something she had struggled with for years.
Terry, who was working abroad at the time, stayed connected throughout the process and later described the moment as deeply emotional. He has previously said watching his wife regain basic abilities felt like witnessing the beginning of a cure.
Doctors explain that the treatment works by using MRI-guided sound waves to precisely target the parts of the brain responsible for symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and balance issues.
Rebecca has already seen major improvements on one side of her body and is expected to undergo a second procedure to continue her recovery.
The couple says they decided to share their story publicly to raise awareness and give hope to others facing Parkinson’s, especially as the treatment remains expensive and not widely accessible.
