Laser therapy
Laser therapy is part of physiotherapy. Depending on the doctor's prescription, it is applied in a constant or pulsed mode, locally or on wider areas of the body.

In general, laser therapy has anti-inflammatory, biostimulating, analgesic effect.

Local cryotherapy
Cryotherapy - a method of using cold factor for treatment. It is used to treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system (gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyosteoarthritis), respiratory organs, metabolism, immune system, skin diseases (acne, rosacea, seborrhea). Short-term effects on the body of low temperatures activates the adaptation resources of the body, increases resistance to stress, inhibits inflammation, reduces swelling, improves motor functions. In cryotherapy, 3 methods are used: labile - cooling a large surface of the body in the so-called cryosauna, stable - deep rapid cooling of a limited surface (for example, a joint) using a special apparatus and a combined - combining the first two.

Magnetic therapy
Magnetic therapy is a method of influencing an organism with a constant or variable low-frequency magnetic field. The magnetic field has an anesthetic and sedative effect, accelerates capillary blood flow and increases the blood filling of blood vessels. Magnetotherapy normalizes the function of the adrenal glands, the thyroid gland, the sex glands, has a positive effect on the nervous system, helps to increase the body's resistance to various diseases.

Mineral bath
Mineral baths have on the body at the same time mechanical, thermal and chemical effects. Mechanical due to hydrostatic effect, which improves blood microcirculation in the body. The warmth of mineral water warms up internal organs, improves metabolism, and has an analgesic effect. Chemicals contained in mineral water (and this, as a rule, iron, bromine, boron, silicon, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) affect the skin reflexively, irritating nerve endings, and humorically, that is, penetrate the skin, saturating blood. In addition, the patient, while in the bath, inhales the vapors of mineral water, which are useful from the point of view of the effects on the respiratory organs.

Mud applications
Mud applications are the imposition of a layer of therapeutic mud (silt 4-6 cm, peat 6-8 cm) on different parts of the body, depending on the doctor's prescriptions in the localization of the pathological process. Usually the temperature of the mud is 38-42 degrees Celsius. There are several types of mud applications: "collar" (overlaying a layer of dirt on the collar area), "panties" (on the groin), "socks", "gloves". There are 3 phases in mud therapy. The first is the reflex phase, when the dirt acts on the skin receptors and it is through them that the central nervous system is affected (the central nervous system is responsible for the self-regulation of important vital processes in the body). The second phase is neurochemical, when biologically active substances are synthesized in the body, their circulation in the blood. The third phase is the reaction to the effects of therapeutic mud: the blood supply to various tissues and organs improves, the absorption of oxygen increases, the products of inflammatory processes (harmful substances, slags) are removed from the body, the protective mechanisms of the body are activated. The third phase is the longest of all (from 2 to 24 hours). Since mud applications are accompanied by less overheating of the body, put less stress on the cardiovascular system, they are more easily tolerated than mud baths.

Mud bath
Mud baths are usually carried out on the basis of therapeutic peat mud with a temperature of 36-38 °C. Mud baths, in order to avoid excessive load on the body, should be carried out every other day. Therapeutic mud acts on the skin, and also penetrating through it, saturates the body with chemicals. Heat from the mud warms up the internal organs, which contributes to the flow of blood to them, inhibits the activity of the central nervous system. Mud bath reduces muscle tone, reduces blood pressure, reduces pain, removes pathogens from the skin, eliminates inflammatory processes. I especially want to note that when medicinal mud is mixed with mineral water, it leaches out, that is, minerals are released from it more actively, which enhances the therapeutic effect.

Oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy is a method of treating oxygen by inhalation. It is used in many diseases of the circulatory and respiratory organs. Also, this method can be used for gastric ulcer, gastritis, liver and kidney diseases, inflammation of the joints. Oxygen therapy is effective in treating oxygen deficiency in the central nervous system, which is most common in the elderly, as well as in inflammation of the nerves. In addition, it helps with heart rhythm disorders. Oxygen therapy is contraindicated in metabolic disorders, acute inflammatory disease, bleeding, blood clotting disorders.

This procedure also nourishes the body with oxygen, eliminates oxygen deficiency in tissues, which is present in a number of diseases. Pearl baths stimulate blood circulation, accelerate the resorption of inflammatory processes, relax muscles, eliminate cramps, reduce pain in the musculoskeletal system, accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.

Pearl bath with additives
Water is saturated with air through the bubble grid, as a result of which micro-massage of the skin is performed, blood circulation improves, muscle tension is relieved. The main effect of a bubble bath is deep relaxation. The therapeutic effect is added to the bath salts or herbal infusions.
