Qualifications

Dr. Napassorn Khumchum is a board-certified physiatrist at Chonburi Hospital and PYONG Rehabilitation Group. She specializes in neurorehabilitation and stroke recovery using robotic and wearable exoskeleton gait training. She conducts research on diabetic sensation, which appeared in The Foot.

Specialization & Approach

Dr. Khumchum treats chronic pain, spasticity, and movement disorders using precision medicine. She performs ultrasound-guided interventions and hydrodissection – a technique using fluid to relieve pressure on trapped nerves. The doctor uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help patients with neurological recovery. Her approach includes laser therapy and radio-frequency techniques for long-term pain relief. Additionally, she provides specific swallowing rehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients.

Commercial Technology & Methods

The doctor works in specialized diagnostic and treatment clinics, including Modality and TMS units. She conducts electromyography (EMG) to assess muscle and nerve health. Dr. Khumchum uses wearable exoskeletons to help patients regain functional independence during gait training. She also integrates active aging strategies into geriatric rehabilitation plans for elderly patients. These technologies allow for individualized recovery paths for stroke and brain injury survivors.
