Motor organ diseases

Between joint, spinal and muscular pains, degeneration of the spine and joints, post-operational and post-traumatic motor organ degeneration, arthritis urica, sciatica, flaccid or spastic paralysis, periavthritis, muscle function disorders, rheumatism and tender tissue, scar contracture, difficulty adhesion of bones, muscle contracture, slipped disk, muscular paresis, calcaneal spur, muscle atrophy, bone development, swelling of the limbs and other 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.
In the treatment of motor organs or post-operation conditions, Spa has at its disposition a powerful arsenal of treatment therapies. One of the main therapies is the therapeutic use of mud in the form of mud packs or a mud bath. Polish mud contain many more highly active organic ingredients than available in other areas. Their ingredients make their way through the skin and lead to the body in relation to curing. Mud at the same time absorbs from the body harmful substances, effusion, acts as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, works to regenerate, improve circulation and reduce muscle tension. The method is successful healing spinal degeneration conditions, swelling of the limbs, periavthritis, or pain linked to these conditions.

Fango. A thermal treatment involving the use of heated volcanic mass with paraffin. It is primarily used in the treatment of a degenerative spinal and peripheral joint conditions.

Another important form of treatment are sulphate baths, which are particularly successful in treating slipped disks, periartropatie, degenerative conditions and spinal problems. Ion sulphate easily seeps into and permeates the skin. Sulphur is equally absorbed by the respiratory tract with the inhalation of air. As an antioxidant, it works to prevent tissue deterioration linked to inflammation and prevents damage to lymphatic vessels and the coagulability of blood. It further acts to enhance the rate of production and quantity of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Baths significantly aid in restoring connective tissues and decreasing over-stimulation of the nerves. Many pains, often chronic, can also be relieved with their use.

Diadynamic current (DDC) therapy consists of a combination of alternating and direct currents and is effective in treating peripheral nervous system disorders. It can treat pain disorders associated with degenerative spinal condition, neuralgia, blood vessels, inflammation of joints, degeneration of joints, muscular atrophy and shingles.

Bathing in water containing ozone has been noted for improving joint mobility. Similar effects are equally derived from brine baths. For use with most orthopedic conditions.

For patients due to undergo motor organ operations, it is strongly recommended that they complement this with a varied massage programme. All the massage types, i.e. classical, underwater and whirlpool massage are of significant efficacy. All forms of massages essentially involve the manipulation of the patient’s tissues, which work to benefit the body’s health. Massage helps to relieve the undesired consequences of some diseases - regenerates tissues damaged by the disease and relieves pain. It reduces muscle tension, enhances bloody circulation, speeds up the return to full functionality of organs. Equally, traditional forms of massage, rotational and underwater are highly effective in the treatment of post-traumatic conditions and convalescence after post-op recovery. Besides this, rotational massage with specific influence of whirlpool water on the body improves the condition of patient’s chronic arthritis, periavthritis and contracture of scars. Traditional massage and underwater muscle relaxation, however, are also effective in relieving pain and act to speed up the treatment of slipped disks or degenerated spines. They restore the normal muscle function following an illness linked to the over-exertion or overstraining of muscles.

Slipped disks and spine degeneration can also be successfully treated with interference currents, tens currents or by rehabilitation through a program of exercise in a swimming pool or gym, iontophoresis, ultrasounds, showers or electrotherapy.

Exercises in the swimming pool or gym are excellent ways to support and expedite treatment, and work to prevent calcium lose in bone mass, improve blood supply, stimulate the building up of new bone mass and improve coordination of the muscles. Swimming pool exercises are particularly recommended for significantly overweight patients; a patient’s body seems lighter when in water, meaning the patient is able to perform exercises that would be otherwise impossible.

Another common form of treatment is showers: waters jets have both thermal and manipulative effects. The procedure has a relaxing and calming effect, reducing muscle tonus, as well as dilating blood vessels and decreasing blood pressure. Similar results may be achieved by underwater massage; the procedure is performed in a bath, where pressured controlled jets of water are aimed on the patient’s submerged body. Having gained maximum relaxation of muscles of the submerged parts, the jets may affect deeper body tissues. The procedure increases blood supply and lymph flow, relaxes muscles and stimulates regular energy consumption.

Iontophoresis is a method of introducing certain medicines and beneficial ions into the skin by means of an electric current. The method allows more efficient treatment of outcome and abnormalities of human body.

TENS (Transcutaneus Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is based on stimulation of muscles by electric impulses which couse in paralysis of muscles.

Ultrasound. Ultrasound treatment involves subjecting the body’s tissues to high frequency ultrasound waves. Acoustic waves applied to the patient's body cause a micro-massage of the tissue. The procedure causes the rhythmical vibration of the tissues and removal of negative effects of the disease. The treatment has anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces muscle tension, expands blood vessels. The ultrasonic waves accelerate absorption within tissues and release histamine-like substances. It is used to treat join pain ailments, neuralgia and scars as well as treating ulceration of varicose veins. 

The last few therapies are especially used in muscular atrophy, muscle spasm contractions, flaccid and spastic paralysis, non-chronic rheumatic inflammations and sciatica.

Inflammatory conditions and tissue treatment may be in the form of photo therapy, with use of – amongst other things – bioptron lamps.

Another effective form of treatment is magneto-therapy. The body is subjected to revolving magnetic fields, causing hyperpolarisation of the cell membranes and the stimulation of external cell processes. The therapy relieves pain, acts an anti-inflammatory, enhances bone structure reconstruction. It is effective in the treatment of fractures, pulled tendons and dislocated bones and offers relief from ‘phantom pains’ following an amputation.

A highly effective treatment in many cases of rheumatism and other motor organ diseases is cryotherapy. It has a very strong pain killing effect. The treatment involves subjecting the body to extremely low temperatures (below -150ºC), resulting in both a reduction in inflammation and swelling or puffiness from which much of the pain derives. It further effects an improvement in the functioning of joints. It is equally useful in repairing degenerated motor organs. Cryotherapy has general application in slowing down the aging process, generally enhancing the body’s constitution and resistance and is highly effective in refreshing and revitalising the body.

Laser therapy. Making use of focused beams of light at appropriate length in order to provide energy to diseased tissues. This energy reduces the inflammation coefficient and speed up the regeneration of damaged cells. It is mainly used for treating degenerative joint ailments, post injury conditions, cold sores as well as inflammations.

The treatment is complemented by drinking mineral water, whose chemical composition supports the regeneration processes.

There are also many other treatments available.
