Naphthalan bath is a unique procedure involving a bioactivity substance – naphthalan oil. The substances in the therapeutic oil stimulate hormones in the human body and produce estrogens, progesterone, and cardiac glycosides. Naphthalan works through the pores and leaves the body taking all the toxins. It has no analogues in the world. The total treatment duration is 18-20 days. During this period, patients take 8-14 bath sessions with breaks under expert surveillance of our physicians. The preferred period of stay at the resort must be at least 14 days. Only in this case, you can get the effect of the treatment.
Treatment course takes up to 20 days. The number of sessions is determined by the physician in range of 10-15 with breaks of 1-2 days. The bath is filled with oil heated to a temperature of 36-38 degrees. The session takes 8-12 minutes. After the procedure is over, the body is cleaned with special scrapers and wiped with napkins.
Naphthalan baths relieve muscle spasms, decrease blood viscosity and dilate blood vessels, stimulate activity of the whole body and slow down the inflammatory processes.
Electrophoresis is a method of drug delivery into the deep layers of the body’s tissues with low voltage, weak electrical impulses. The method combines the curative qualities of current and drug therapy. Iontophoresis can also be performed without the medications in case of certain indications.
The procedure is carried out by applying for electrode plates with special hydrophilic patches to the treated area, and then a low voltage electric current is supplied.First, the hydrophilic patches are soaked in medications.Then the electrodes are fixed with elastic bandages, if necessary. The procedure can cause you to feel a slight tingling or stinging, absolutely painless and noninvasive. It takes 10-30 minutes. The number of procedures is prescribed by the physician according to the indications. The average course includes 10-20 procedures.
The current pulses improve the blood and lymph circulation in the treated area. Besides, metabolic processes and tissue regeneration (nerve, osseous, connective tissues) are activated. Due to the current effect, the treated areas become sensitive to the administration of medications, improving the drug therapy results.
Amplipulse therapy is a method of local exposure to alternating electric current of the corresponding parameters by means of electrodes and wet hydrophilic pads applied to the certain skin areas of the patient’s body.
Amplipulse therapy is performed using devices conducting electric currents and electrodes applied to the areas of concern. There is a slight vibration, indicating a contraction of muscle fibers. The algorithms and the frequency of the current are different subject to disease. Each disease has its own algorithm of exposure to electric currents.
The sinusoidal modulated current causes the following positive changes in the body: the blood supply to the tissues and the drainage of the lymphatic fluid are enhanced; metabolic processes are normalized; muscle spasms are eliminated; pain and inflammation are relieved. Besides, the low-frequency currents exposed to large body areas cause a sedative effect shown in the sleep normalization and relaxation.
Phonophoresis is a physiotherapy combining the effect of high-frequency ultrasound waves with the use of medications. Such a combination enhances the effect, since both the active medication substances and ultrasonic waves work.
When the ultrasound handpiece touches the patient’s skin, vibrations are created and mechanical energy turns into thermal one, stimulating the recovery processes. The procedure does not cause pain and discomfort, patients have only a slight warm feeling in the treated area. In case of any unpleasant sensation, it is important to inform a specialist about it to adjust the efficacy. Usually the course takes 10-15 sessions. The procedure duration depends on the indications, the treated area and other factors. Usually 15 minutes is enough to get the desired effect.
Ultrasound has positive effects: mild anti-inflammatory effect; improvement of blood microcirculation; activation of metabolic processes; improved lymph flow; normalization of tissue compliance; improved regeneration of muscles, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.
Paraffin therapy is a heat treatment method involving melted paraffin in the form of applications, causing a deep warming of the tissues.
Paraffin heats up quickly, preserves and gives up the heat for a long time. Liquid paraffin hardens quickly if you apply it to a skin area. A process of further heat transfer to the desired area starts. Paraffin is applied directly to the skin in several layers. Then the treated area is wrapped in polyethylene.
Paraffin applications stimulate trophic and regenerative processes, reduce muscle cramps and relieve pain, providing a reabsorbing anti-inflammatory effect. Solidifying (paraffin crystallization) it decreases in extent by 10-12 %, exerting a mechanical (compressive) effect on the affected tissues.
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge high-performance method of physiotherapy treatment. It’s shown success in treatment being applied by physicians of multiple specialties. The therapy has proven itself to be good in particular treating orthopedic diseases and injuries. This method is widely used by neurologists, urologists, cardiologists, and cosmetologists.
Shockwave therapy is performed on an outpatient basis. A special gel is applied to the affected area to start the procedure. The physician sets the necessary parameters on the device and places the handpiece on the affected area. The so-called trigger points that are different for each disease are taken into account. One session takes 7-10 minutes per area. 3-6 procedures are usually enough. They are carried out 1-2 times a week, depending on the disease and the degree of tissue injury.
Mechanical shockwave impulses give rise to a number of improvements in the lesional tissues, such as a destruction of calcium deposits and an inflammation resolution, a relaxation of the tight muscle structure, an improvement of blood supply and a tissue repair.
Quartz treatment is an irradiation procedure involving short ultraviolet rays. For a long time it has been successfully used by multiple hospitals and sanatoriums. The moderate doses can help to cope with many diseases, as well as stimulate the recovery processes and the immune system activity.
In general, the session duration ranges from 15 seconds to 3 minutes. The treatment course starts with a minimum exposure time and increases gradually. The sessions are carried out daily. As a rule, the treatment course includes from 5 to 10-12 procedures. During the procedure, the patient is in sitting position, while the affected area of the skin or mucous membranes is exposed to ultraviolet rays by means of special nozzles.
Handled properly, quartz treatment will help to normalize the work of the immune system and reduce the severity of skin rashes and dermatoses. It is beneficial to internal organs, as it normalizes their functions.
Ozone therapy is meant to be used in various areas of medicine and cosmetology.
Ozone can be injected intravenously in the form of a solution, mixed with distilled water for the patient to drink, or taken by inhalation or dropper, as well as using rectal method, applying ozone-saturated creams and oils to the skin, and taking baths with ozonated water and so on.
Ozone therapy improves metabolic processes, boosts immunity, destroys pathogenic flora, and inhibits the process of senescence. Affecting the skin, the gaseous ozone improves blood circulation, increases the production of bioactive substances, and eliminates excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat in case of inflammation. Ozone therapy is used in urology and gynecology, neurology and cardiology, as well as in cardiovascular, skin, and respiratory diseases.
Iodine-bromine baths are widely used in spa treatment. They are widely used in the treatment of various gynecological diseases, musculoskeletal system, joint diseases, as well as various endocrine diseases, gastrointestinal tract, urology, infertility, cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases. In case of contraindications to a naphthalan bath, an iodine-bromine bath is prescribed as an alternative treatment. Due to the healing iodine and bromine properties, the body relaxes, the patient calms, mood and sleep improve.
The course usually consists of 7-10 procedures for 10-15 minutes per day. The patient is immersed in warm water with the content of at least 5.5-6 mg/l of iodine and at least 25-27 mg/l of bromine. The water temperature is comfortable, 36.4-37°C.
A noticeable effect after several procedures: joint pain reduction, sleep normalization, relaxation of heavy legs, blood pressure stabilization, enhancement of skin regeneration.
Halotherapy is a procedure involving breathing in air with tiny salt particles while staying in a salt chamber. It has a restorative effect on the body, and is actively used in the prevention and rehabilitation complexes after respiratory diseases. The atmosphere in the salt chamber is the best way to improve the state of the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses. The procedure is recommended for those who have quit smoking to restore their respiratory system. The relaxing and calming effect of the halotherapy helps to cope with stress and normalize sleep.
The method is especially effective for ENT diseases, frequent colds and respiratory problems in general. Speleotherapy is also indicated for stress-associated nervous disorders, irritation and sleep problems. Patients stay in a salt chamber with a special microclimate. It does not contain allergens and the air is highly ionized. The high ionization fights pathogenic organisms and has a general bactericidal effect. Speleotherapy is indicated for patients of any age.
Immunity improvement; improvement of breathing and skin condition; reduction of the allergic manifestations; improvement of the general condition, abolition of irritability; improvement of the sleep quality, reduction of stress and temper.
Darsonvalization is the exposure of alternating impulse high-frequency currents of low strength to the surface tissues and mucous membranes of the body. It widens blood vessels, activates local blood flow, reduces venous stasis, increases vascular permeability, saturates skin with oxygen and supplies it with trace elements. This procedure improves histotrophic nutrition and stimulates metabolism. It has a local antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, trophic and bactericidal effect.
The device has several power modes. The mode to be chosen as recommended depending on the application area. Contacting skin the device-generated alternating current tones the tissues and blood vessels, improving and accelerating blood and lymph flow. That way, the metabolism and nutrition of tissues improve in the application area. The device forms the small quantities of ozone by the current discharge. Besides anti-aging and stimulating effects, ozone has bactericidal properties.
Electric currents follow the same pattern in cosmetology. They activate the metabolism, get rid of stagnant phenomena, and improve the skin and hair quality. They literally bring back to life and reanimate the processes in our body that slow down with aging, namely the collagen and elastin production, oxygen enrichment, and nutrition. Due to the current effect, blood vessels, capillaries and muscles are toned reflexively. Such “training” will ensure their elasticity; as a result you will get blood flow normalization, drenching the tissues with oxygen and acceleration of metabolic processes.
The main mission of this therapy lies in the stimulation of the human body to activate metabolic processes without medication. For this, the specific suction cups or nozzles with air sucked out are used to get the negative pressure inside.
The suction cups are applied to the bioactive points. Their stimulation activates the functions of internal organs and the immunodefences. Drop of the pressure causes the local blood flow increase, improving blood circulation and lymph outflow from the affected area.
The effect of vacuum therapy is not to be late in coming. Even the first session relieves pain syndromes, reduces the tissue oedema, relieves muscle tension, and improves the general state of the patient. This method is much more useful for the body than the medically induced pain management by analgesic drug.
Sollux is a treatment method based on the infrared radiation exposure. The treatment causes the skin temperature rise and dilates blood vessels. This, in turn, increases blood supply and prevents inflammatory processes.
The Sollux lamp provides one of the types of luminotherapy. It is intended for treatment by means of thermal infrared and visible actinothermal irradiation. For local irradiation, the lamp is placed on the side of the patient, at a distance of 50 cm-1 m, and the rays are directed to the appropriate part of the body. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes. For the best result, it is necessary to undergo the entire treatment course of 10-15 procedures.
Induces muscle relaxation by sedative effect on the nerve, increased blood circulation and removal of metabolites. Minimize the joint stiffness due to increased extensibility of connective tissue as a result of increase in local temperature and due to relief of pain, spasm and inflammation. Accelerates the healing by increasing the amount of nutritive material required for healing following musculoskeletal trauma.
Magnetic therapy is a widespread physiotherapy technique based on the influence of low-frequency variable and continuous magnetic fields over the affected area. It is used for prophylactic and recreational purposes as a basic and complementary method or instead of the drug treatment.
The patient is placed inside a unit moving along the entire body and affecting body with different frequency magnetic-influence impulses. In case of portable units, the procedure is about application of a magnet to the affected areas for local influence on the affected organs. One course of magnetic therapy includes 10-15 sessions. The procedures to be conducted every day or every other day. The procedure takes no more than 30 minutes.
This sort of procedures have the effect of vascular distention, anesthetize and relieve inflammation, relax and favor the cell renewal.
Diathermy is one of the treatment procedures involving high-frequency current to produce a thermal effect. The diathermy method is based on heating the deep layers of tissues and organs using a high-frequency alternating current. In general, our specialists prescribe diathermy as part of complex therapy for injuries, musculoskeletal system disorders, and inflammation of joints, ligaments and muscles.
The patient takes a lying or sitting position, depending on the affected area. The electrodes of various shapes are used in the procedure. They can be shaped or plate. Shaped ones are used for ears, eyes, as well as for rectum and vagina. Plate ones are applied to the back, stomach and chest. And for the entire body, a special couch to be used with two large metal plates installed. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes.
Improvement in the tissue metabolism and CO2 elimination, decrease of lactic acid in the muscles, improvement of blood supply, respectively, supply of oxygen, nutrients and proteins. Therefore, the pH balance in the treated area becomes less acidic, promoting faster recovery and reducing the scar tissue formation. Besides, diathermy promotes lymph drainage, helps to improve the flexibility of joints, and reduces muscle tension.
Mud poultice application is one of the most common sanatorium-resort therapy procedures. It is a well-established practice in the treatment of joints, dermatological and vascular diseases.
Poultice applications involve substances with high effective heat capacity and low conductivity. Apart from dry heat sources (salt, sand), the peloids (mud) and peloid-like substances (paraffin, earth wax, clay) are often used. They cause blood flow to the affected area, stimulate metabolic reactions, and have a mild pain alleviating effect. Duration: 10-20 min., interval: 1-2 days
Being a physiotherapy procedure, mud application provides deep warming of muscle tissues and joints. It supplies a vasorelaxant action, activates local blood flow, improves metabolic processes and histotrophic nutrition, and accelerates recovery processes.
One of the first steps in the treatment of most diseases, especially chronic ones, is to cleanse the body. They do it with the help of special intestinal procedures – microclysters. However, in addition to cleaning, microclysters also cope with other tasks: relieve inflammation, heal wounds, improve blood circulation.
Direct action through the rectal enema has many undoubted advantages. In this case, all the necessary substances immediately enter the blood plasma, bypassing the primary barrier, that is, without passing through the liver and kidneys. This is often very important, especially for patients who are weakened or suffering from pathologies of these organs.
Micro enema have the following therapeutic effects: wound healing, anti-inflammatory, bowel cleansing and healing effect.
Carbon dry baths are gas baths, the effect of which is based on the effect of carbon dioxide on the human body. Unlike water carbon dioxide baths, in this case there is a direct effect of carbon dioxide. This eliminates the hydrostatic pressure of water and its temperature effect.
A session of taking dry carbon dioxide baths lasts 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the pathology. In case of serious pathologies, the time can be increased to 30 and 40 minutes as prescribed by the doctor. When immersed in a capsule with carbon dioxide, a person experiences a pleasant sensation, a slight tingling sensation on the skin; during the procedure, cardiac activity slows down, breathing becomes rare and blood pressure decreases. If there was a headache at the time of taking the bath, it will go away during the procedure. A 20-minute session is comparable to a walk in a pine forest.
This procedure normalizes high blood pressure, increases the oxygen content in the blood, which leads to the supply of blood to the skin, muscles and all organs of the body, glands and brain, rich in oxygen and other vital elements, activates the lymphatic system, which is responsible for the effective removal of toxins, increases skin elasticity, eliminates chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, insomnia.
Sollux is a treatment method based on the infrared radiation exposure. The treatment causes the skin temperature rise and dilates blood vessels. This, in turn, increases blood supply and prevents inflammatory processes.
The Sollux lamp provides one of the types of luminotherapy. It is intended for treatment by means of thermal infrared and visible actinothermal irradiation. For local irradiation, the lamp is placed on the side of the patient, at a distance of 50 cm-1 m, and the rays are directed to the appropriate part of the body. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes. For the best result, it is necessary to undergo the entire treatment course of 10-15 procedures.
Induces muscle relaxation by sedative effect on the nerve, increased blood circulation and removal of metabolites. Minimize the joint stiffness due to increased extensibility of connective tissue as a result of increase in local temperature and due to relief of pain, spasm and inflammation. Accelerates the healing by increasing the amount of nutritive material required for healing following musculoskeletal trauma.
Carboxytherapy is a procedure involving carbon dioxide injections to relieve the pain and spasms, as well as to stimulate regeneration processes. Vasorelaxation stimulates the circulation of oxygen and beneficial trace elements in the muscles. Carbon dioxide relieves pain, promotes the local adaptive mechanisms, increases tissue trophism and provides deep relaxation of muscle fibers.
A high-purity medical gas is supplied during the procedure. Injections cause tingling, pressure and stinging for several minutes. The procedure is totally safe and bruise is the only possible complication. The duration of the procedure depends on the treated area; usually it takes not more than 30 minutes. The course consists of 6-12 procedures with a frequency of 1-2 times a week.
Carboxytherapy triggers the chemical reactions in the body because of the active interaction of carbon dioxide with water molecules causing the formation of a large amount of carbon dioxide as a result. This leads to metabolism acceleration and activation of blood and lymph flow, which, in turn, leads to intensive tissue renewal and removal of toxins.
Ultraviolet rays exhibit obvious preventive and curative, bactericidal, and anti-inflammatory properties. They activate protective forces in the body, strengthening the immune system (either systemic or tissue ones) to external aggressors.
Ultraviolet therapy is a form of treatment commonly used to treat certain skin disorders. It consists of irradiation of the patient with the UVA band of ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation has been conventionally performed in clinics for psoriasis treatment. In psoriasis, the primary initiating factor is the hyperstimulation of antigen-presenting cells and auto-reactive dermal T-cells.
The radiation tones up mentally and physically normalize the phosphorus-calcium metabolism, changes the blood composition, and considerably decreases allergic manifestations.
Laser treatment is a method based on the influence of a concentrated beam of light. This technology is widely used in modern medicine for the treatment and prophylaxis of a series of diseases. Weak laser radiation is tolerant to the human body and has a pronounced antiviral and antibacterial effect. Laser therapy favors the normalization of blood circulation, strengthening of the spine functions, and acceleration of the removal of toxins and their decay products from cells.
The emitter is applied directly to the affected area and adjacent tissues, the reflexogenic zones, as well as the projection zone of the affected organ, motor nerves, and bioactive points (procedure takes up to 15 minutes). Light radiation penetrates the tissues to a depth of up to 13 cm, causing structural gradations at the cellular level. Laser therapy stimulates lymph flow and blood circulation, and stabilizes intracellular and membrane metabolism. This method is used in physiotherapy to boost immunity and accelerate the recovery processes in tissues and organs. As a rule, for the optimal therapeutic effect, laser therapy is carried out in courses of 10-12 procedures daily.
The procedure has an antimicrobial, analgesic, and antiviral effect. It causes dilatation of capillaries, reduces blood viscosity and decreases cholesterol levels, as well as improves cellular nourishing. In addition, laser radiation increases the body’s susceptibility to medications exponentially, reducing the treatment time and allowing getting success in a short time.
The herb-saturated steam fed into the cabin made of Siberian cedar has a beneficial effect on a patient. It helps to get rid of a number of ailments. This procedure helps to cleanse body in general and at the cellular level, stimulates the work of all organs and systems, normalizes metabolism, cleanses and rejuvenates skin, restores and strengthens nervous system. The barrel helps to free from the chronic fatigue syndrome, having a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.
The procedure lasts 15-20 minutes at the average. The less prepared the patient is, the less time they should start with. After all, immersion in steam is a stress for the body. Despite the fact that it is a useful stress, it should be used with caution. In case of dizziness and high pressure, or if it has become unbearable, the further staying in the barrel will bring rather harm than benefit.
Therapeutic steam mitigates muscle fatigue and nerve strain, eliminates spasms, improves patient’s sleep and emotional state.
Underwater massage treatment is another type of hydro massage. It is a massage with water of a certain temperature under pressure by means of a hose. This method has a positive effect on the body as a whole. Due to the procedure, blood pressure decreases and blood circulation improves. The treatment strengthens muscle tone and activates all vital systems in the body.
The water temperature in the bath is 30-37°C. The patient is immersed in water and lies in the bath for 5-7 minutes, getting used to the water temperature and relaxing. Then the massage begins. It is conducted using a flexible hose connected to the pump. Water comes out with a jet through this hose under a pressure of 1 to 3-4 atm, providing a massage effect. The total session duration is 15-30 minutes, more rarely up to 45 minutes, every other day. The treatment course includes 7-8 baths, it is recommended to be repeated every six months.
The course of underwater massage treatment improves patients’ general well-being, relieves headaches and joint pains, reduces cholesterol and leg swelling, even cellulite becomes less pronounced.
Lymphatic drainage, also known as pressure therapy, is a physiotherapy method involving the removal of fluid and byproducts from the intercellular space, improving lymph circulation. It provides active influencing of the lymphatic, venous and nervous systems, relaxing muscles, dilating blood vessels, circulating lymph and distributing it evenly round the human body.
Hardware lymphatic drainage or pressure therapy is carried out by means of a special suit (for the lower extremities and the abdominal area) with injected compressed air, due to which the therapy takes place. The required pressure is regulated using a computer program. The mode is selected based on the physician’s indications and a specific goal, taking into account the characteristics of each patient.
Lymphatic drainage has analgesic, decongestant, and healing effects. It relaxes muscle tissue and enhances metabolism, regeneration, and histotrophic nutrition.
4-chambered galvanic bath consists of a 2-chambered foot bath and 2 separate chambers for hands. The procedure combines the galvanic current with a local bath (water temperature of 37 degrees) for the upper and lower extremities. If necessary, medicinal solutions are added. This bath is prescribed for those who can’t be prescribed baths for the whole body, on health grounds.
The remedial effect of the bath is based on the impact of galvanic current on the body through water. Bath irritates the vasomotor nerves, leading to vasorelaxation. The effect of an electro-galvanic bath can be compared with one of a contrast shower or a bath with alternating short-term hot and cold water effects on the body. The procedure has a significant anti-inflammatory effect and improves lymph and blood circulation. The session time is 15 minutes.
The procedure stimulates blood circulation and improves the metabolic process. It has analgesic effects and increases the regeneration processes in the central nervous system. The session reduces inflammation and pain.
This is a hydrotherapy method being used successfully for cosmetological, therapeutic, and rehabilitation purposes. Charcot’s douche has plenty of benefits for the human body. The contrasting water temperatures tone body having a bracing effect. Besides, the shower stimulates the work of the pituitary-hypothalamic system, improving the work of majority organs of the endocrine system.
The patient is positioned at a distance of 3-4 m from the shower rostrum (for the person conducting the procedure). A water stream is directed at the patient’s body first in a semicircle, and then in a compact jet. First, the front of the body is treated, and then the sides and back. The jet is directed from head to toe, avoiding hitting the head, spinal column, mammary glands, and genitals. Each limb is treated alternately along the large vessels, then the jet is directed to the abdomen (clockwise). During the first procedures, the water temperature is 36-40°C, but it is gradually lowered, up to 20°C by the end of the treatment course. During the so-called Scottish shower, the jet water temperature is changed several times within the same procedure. The duration of the Charcot’s douche varies from 1-2 minutes of the first sessions to 5-7 minutes at the end of the treatment course. The water temperature is decreased with each procedure, and the jet pressure, on the contrary, is increased. The number of procedures is 12-15 per course, depending on the patient’s tolerance and indications.
Charcot’s douche has plenty of benefits for the human body. The shock-type jet of water activates the blood and lymph flow through the vessels and multiplies the number of functioning capillaries. As a result, the blood nourishes the organs better, supplying them with oxygen and substances necessary for full-fledged vital activity. The contrasting water temperatures tone body having a bracing effect. Depending on the water temperature, the “shock” jet increases or decreases the tone of the striated (skeletal) muscles and blood vessels, proceeds or slows down the processes in the central nervous system, raises or lowers blood pressure. Besides, the shower stimulates the work of the pituitary-hypothalamic system, improving the work of majority organs of the endocrine system. It analgesizes and reduces the inflammation symptoms, accelerates metabolism, boosts the immune system, has a detoxifying effect, promotes the removal of byproducts from cells, and fights cellulite successfully. The Charcot’s douche awakens the regeneration (self-healing) processes in the body. After a course of sessions, patients feel young and full of energy.
Underwater traction is a special therapeutic procedure whose task is to increase the distance between individual vertebrae. The effect is achieved due to traction – a stretching force acting in opposite directions of the spinal column, therefore spinal traction is also called traction.
The patient is placed in the bathtub on a spinal board using an automated hydraulic lift. Traction occurs within 10-20 minutes. The number of sessions is prescribed by the attending physician, usually 5 to 20 procedures are required to improve the condition. For medical reasons, traction can be prescribed in radon, hydrogen sulfide or iodine-bromine baths.
After a course of procedures, the vertebrae move into the correct position and no longer compress anything. Inflammatory processes subside. This affects the functioning of the entire body:Spasms and pain caused by pinched tissue disappear; The functioning of nerves, blood vessels and muscles improves; Normal range of motion returns; Tissue numbness, dizziness, and circulatory disorders disappear; Spinal curvatures are corrected; Intervertebral hernias are reduced.
