Heart Diseases & cardiovascular system conditionsIncluding: atherosclerosis, post-stroke and cardiosurgery conditions, angioneurosis, paediatric cardiology, degeneration of heart muscle, conditions following recovery from inflammation of the cardiac muscles, cardiovascular problems, inadequate blood circulation, hypertension, hypotension and other cardiological conditions. A treatment schedule is devised by consultation with an experienced physician on an individual basis for each patient at the beginning of their stay. Medical Resorts offer a comprehensive choice of treatments for heart diseases. Here are some of them: Bathing in acidic water. It is an excellent and highly successful treatment for those with heart diseases and cardiovascular conditions. Water with a high concentration of C02 and carbonic acid dilates atelier and venues capillaries, leading to a fall in blood pressure. Beside this, it also boasts a highly calming and relaxing effect. It is used particulary for I and II degree arterial hypertension order, toxic or atherosclerosis degeneration of the heart muscle, angioneurosis and convalescence periods. Sulphur – hydrogen sulphide baths: Ion sulphate easily seeps into and permeates the skin. Sulphur is equally absorbed by the respiratory tract with the inhalation of air. As a strong antioxidant, it works to prevent tissue deterioration linked to inflammation and prevents damage to blood vessels and the coagulability of blood. It further acts to enhance the rate of production and quantity of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Ozone pearl baths result in dilatation of atelier and venues capillaries and lead to a fall in blood pressure. Beside this, they boast a highly calming and relaxing effect.
Bathing in iodine-bromide water is a complementary treatment, which strengthens cardiac muscle and veins. Hydro-massage is a successful treatment for those suffering from cardiovascular problems i.e. a body in water is more relaxed, which allows the massage to act more effectively with the use of stream water - the strength and direction are regulated. Power shower – the body is subject to a pressurised stream of water, "aquavibron" (a device designed with a system of rubber tubes with flowing water caused by oscillation, which is transferred to the patient’s body), “rotating massage” - the best results are noted with problems with the vascular system of limbs. The above three therapies serve to widen blood vessels, improve the cardiovascular system’s function, blood supply to the muscles and reduce blood pressure. Another effective treatment is magneto-therapy. The body is subject to the revolving magnetic fields, which cause hyperpolarisation of cells membranes and stimulation of external cells. Treatment aids with, amongst other things, inadequate cardiovascular system function, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, ischaemia (bloody supply) to cardiac muscle, reducing nervous tension and pain. Some Spas offer pressure massage therapy, which aids the body in absorbing swelling, acts to prevent and eliminate fatty deposits in veins which facilitates the easier flow of blood, reducing resistance to the flow of blood in arteries, resulting in the easier functioning of the heart and widening of lymphatic blood vessels. Paraffin compress. Heated and melted paraffin is placed on the body. The compress improves circulation in the capillary blood vessels increasing the tissue oxidization process, easing resorption and expelling toxic product of inflammation from the tissue. Interference current treatments consists of the application of two different medium frequency alternating currents. The currents are controlled in such a manner that they overlap each other in the affected body parts, which acts to stimulate the regeneration of sick tissues. It couses the expansion of the blood vessels. This treatment is in particular applied to diseases involving severe pain. Tens currents and galvanisation improve performance of peripheral circulation and are used to complement other therapies. Cryotherapy. The therapy involves subjecting the body to extremely low temperatures (lower than -150 ºC) has general applications in slowing down the aging process, generally enhancing the body’s constitution and resistance and is remarkably effective in refreshing and revitalising the body. Ultrasound treatment involves subjecting the body’s tissues to high frequency ultrasound waves. The procedure causes the rhythmical vibration of the tissues and removal of negative effects of the disease. The ultrasonic waves also inhibit inflammatory processes, accelerate absorption within tissues and release histamine-like substances. It also reduces muscle tension, expand blood vessels and increase metabolism. The treatment is used amongst other therapies in ulceration of varicose veins. Once a suitable specialist exercise programme has been agreed, a supervised session in the swimming pool or gym significantly enhances cardiovascular function. There are also invidual gimnastic exercises for stroke victims. Equally, consumption of mineral water containing magnesium is recommended as it acts to dissolute and eliminate fatty build up in bloody vessels. Resorts |
