Deforming osteoarthrosis, atheromatosis and other related reumatoidea illnesses.

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 rheumatism. Here are some of them:

Sulphur baths. One of the main treatments for this condition is bathing in water containing sulphur. 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. 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.

Ozone baths. Bathing in water containing ozone aids in significantly improving the working of joints.

Bathing in acidic water is the next excellent and highly successful therapy. Water with a high concentration of C02 and carbonic acid has a very strong pain killing effect.

Another important treatment is the therapeutic use of mud (peat) in the form of mud packs or a mud bath. Peat is made up of the undecomposed debris from plant and minerals. 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.

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.

A highly effective treatment in most cases of rheumatism 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 of inflammation and swelling or puffiness from which much of the pain derives. It further effects an improvement in the functioning of joints. 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.

Complementary therapies acting as anti-inflammatory, painkillers or to improve joint tissues are: ionphorosis, ultrasound and use of a bioptron lamp.
Iontophoresis is a method of introducing certain medicines and beneficial ions into the skin by means of an electric current. The 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. The bioptron lamp generates polarised light, which enhances the energetic activity of cellular membranes and stimulates the regeneration processes.

Magnetronic. During magnetic field treatment the body is permeated with magnetic waves which improve joints mobility. It can be used to threat all kinds of pain.

 Another means of improving the functioning of joints is by subjecting the body to vibration massage (aquavibron), diadynamic or laser therapy. The diadynamic current (DDC) therapy consists of a combination of alternating and direct currents and is effective in treating pain disorders associated with rheumatism. Laser support the regeneration processes by providing the affected tissues with additional energy and by stimulation of the oxygen metabolism – besides also having some pain-relieving properties. Following bio stimulation, the normalisation processes on a molecular level subjects parts of the body to treatment. 

Terapuls is a form of pulse treatment that operates at high frequencies, acts to combat inflammation and pain. It is useful in threating conditions in which the use of heat is not advisable. It is particularly effective in the treatment of arthritis.

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

There are also many other treatments available.
