Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in Chincheewa Healthcare Clinic
About the clinic
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at Chincheewa Healthcare Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, provides a non-invasive way to treat chronic pain and neurological conditions. This therapy uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery or medicine. The clinic uses standard international equipment to help patients with treatment-resistant depression and post-stroke rehabilitation.
How TMS Works
TMS uses electromagnetic induction to change brain activity. A magnetic coil placed against the head sends waves 2-3 cm deep into the brain. These waves target the central nervous system to manage pain directly at the source. The treatment has different settings based on the patient's needs. Frequencies of 1 Hz or less help calm brain activity. Frequencies higher than 1 Hz stimulate the brain to improve function and mood.
Conditions Treated with TMS
The clinic uses this method for several health issues. It is effective for chronic pain conditions like migraine and fibromyalgia. It also helps people with major depressive disorder who have not found relief from other treatments. Other indications include:
- Post-stroke recovery to regain lost functions.
- Aphasia to help patients speak better after a stroke.
- Early-stage Parkinson's disease to manage movement symptoms.
Treatment Benefits and Safety
TMS is a safe option with a side effect rate below 5%. Most patients find the sessions convenient because they last only 20-40 minutes. No anesthesia or hospital stay is needed. About 85% of patients report being satisfied with the care they receive. For chronic pain, the treatment shows 60-80% efficacy. Results from a full course typically last between 6 and 12 months.
Important Considerations
While TMS is non-invasive, it is not for everyone. Patients with metal implants in the brain cannot undergo this procedure. The medical team at Chincheewa Healthcare Clinic reviews each case to confirm the therapy is safe. Their rehabilitation and sports medicine focus helps integrate TMS into a broader health plan.

Chincheewa Healthcare Clinic: more details about the clinic
Chincheewa Health Care Clinic is a physical therapy and rehabilitation center in Bangkok, Thailand. The facility focuses on recovery and anti-aging care. Medical specialists and physiotherapists work together to create individualized treatment plans for patients of all ages.
Medical Expertise and Team
The medical team includes three specialists in rehabilitation, sports medicine, and urology. These physicians manage the full care cycle, from initial diagnosis to ongoing plan adjustments. Dedicated programs serve children, working-age adults, and the elderly.
Specialists at the clinic have trained at several international institutions:
- University of Colorado School of Medicine, USA
- Katharine Dormandy Haemophilia Centre, England
- The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia
- Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, USA
- Mahidol University, Thailand
Dr. Ratcharin Kongkasuwan focuses on pediatric rehabilitation and joint diseases. Dr. Wiphawi Chinjen Pradit specializes in cardiac rehabilitation and male health. Dr. Krit Assanthaichai manages urological surgery and men's sexual health.
Rehabilitation Specialties
The clinic provides physical therapy for sports injuries, chronic pain, and functional recovery. Patients receive care for muscle tears, ligament injuries, and overuse syndrome. Postpartum care and office-syndrome treatments are also available.
Men's sexual rehabilitation is a key focus area. Specialists combine focus shockwave therapy with pelvic muscle stimulation (PMS). This approach supports functional recovery and pelvic floor health for male patients.
Hydrotherapy, also known as aquatic therapy, is used for low-impact recovery. The clinic offers cold water therapy and contrast baths. These techniques reduce inflammation and stimulate blood circulation.
The hydrotherapy program has documented outcomes:
- 92% patient satisfaction rate
- 85% of participants reduced pain medication within 8 weeks
- Independent walking within 4 weeks in hip replacement case studies
A rehabilitation physician must assess patients before starting these programs.
Advanced Technologies and Methods
The clinic uses several non-surgical technologies for musculoskeletal issues. Specialists perform "Western acupuncture" or dry needling to target trigger points. This method relieves focal pain without medication.
Magnetic stimulation technologies address both central and peripheral nervous system issues:
- TMS – brain stimulation for pain from the central nervous system
- PMS – peripheral stimulation for muscle and nerve problems in the limbs
- Focus Shockwave – high-energy waves for chronic tendon and joint pain
TMS sessions last 20–40 minutes and reach 2–3 cm into the brain. PMS treats multiple muscle areas at once with lower intensity.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Equipment
Precision diagnostics guide every rehabilitation plan. The clinic uses Ultrasound Diagnosis to visualize tissue damage and track recovery. Body composition and nutrient levels are monitored through InBody and Oligoscan systems.
Therapeutic equipment includes:
- High Power Laser Therapy
- Redcord suspension exercise systems
- Cervical and lumbar traction units
- Ultrasound Combine therapy
These tools apply mechanical or thermal energy to injured tissues. Diagnostic data helps physicians adjust protocols as symptoms improve.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides services in both Thai and English. Specialists consult with international patients on age-specific rehabilitation needs. Patients can access preliminary information through the clinic's online channels.
