Electro-mud therapy
Electro-mud therapy is a treatment method based on the combined effect of mud and electric current on the body. Therapeutic mud has good electrical conductivity, therefore, when electric current is passing through it, the mineral substances contained in the mud more actively penetrate the body through the skin pores.

Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis is a physiotherapeutic procedure, the essence of which consists in the effect of constant electrical impulses on the body in order to provide a general or local therapeutic effect. Very often, electrophoresis is prescribed to enhance the effect of drugs, since by passing an electric current through a solution with a medicine, the drug ions begin to move, penetrate the skin, mucous membranes, and enter the human body. Electrophoresis allows you to deliver the drug in the surface layers of the skin - the epidermis and dermis, where it can be absorbed into the blood through the microvessels. Once in the bloodstream and lymph flow, the drug is delivered to all organs and tissues, but the maximum concentration is maintained in the area of drug administration.

Gum applications with mud

Gum irrigation
Irrigation of the gums with mineral water is an effective procedure that contributes to the treatment of various diseases of the oral cavity. This is a fairly simple procedure. Mineral water with a certain adjustable pressure is fed into the patient's mouth. The direction of the jet occurs via replaceable tips. The therapeutic effect is observed after regular completion of the prescribed course of 12-15 irrigations. This approach has a beneficial effect not only in the composition of the mineral water, the useful substances from which are absorbed into the tissues, but also the way of feeding. Hydro and heat massage of the gums occurs, which helps to improve the blood supply to the tissues. As a rule, this procedure is indispensable if an inflammatory process of various etymologies is observed in the oral cavity of a patient (for example, periodontal disease). It also helps to improve blood flow, so irrigation is also used to prevent the same periodontal disease.

Gymnastics in the gym
Specialized method of physiotherapy, which significantly improves the mobility of the musculoskeletal system. With it, you can unload or strengthen certain muscle groups, develop joints.

Gymnastics in the pool
Exercise in the pool combines the positive therapeutic effects of water and special exercises. In the water, it is much easier for the patient to do the exercises, because his muscles are relaxed, he experiences resistance and hydrostatic pressure of water. The procedure is used for degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in particular - to improve the motor activity of the joints.

Hydrogen sulfide mineral baths
Hydrogen sulfide is in free and semi-bonded form, it dissociates into hydrogen ions and hydrosulfide ions by dissociation, these particles have a therapeutic effect. In the internal environment of a person, it penetrates through the skin and respiratory tract. During the period of taking such a bath, the substance diffuses through the skin (about 10%), forming a small depot in the epidermis, allowing it to prolong its action, improves the system of peripheral blood circulation, and, accordingly, the nutrition of tissues. Effects - decrease in blood sugar, fluctuations in sulfur and nitrogen metabolism, a decrease in the concentration of oxidized and reduced glutathione). This leads to an increase in the energy potential of organs and tissues; enhance regenerative functions and stimulate blood formation; снижение воспалительных реакций и рассасывание инфильтратов; improvement in the delivery of certain drugs through the blood-brain barrier (iodine, bijohinol, neosalvarsan); reducing the frequency of contractions of the heart, lowering pressure; stimulation of the secretion of the sebaceous and endocrine glands, the production of biologically active substances (histamine, serotonin, etc.); increase in minute and circulating blood volume. Contraindications: general contraindications to spa treatment, hydrogen sulfide intolerance, infectious diseases of the heart muscle - endocarditis or myocarditis, angina pectoris from class II and above, as well as severe stenosis in valvular lesions, arrhythmias in the form of atrial fibrillation or various blockades, hypertension and vascular diseases in the latter stages, kidney and liver diseases with signs of insufficiency, tuberculosis, pregnancy, acute manifestations of any inflammatory processes and exacerbation of chronic, tendency to bleeding, bronchial asthma, frequent and repeated myocardial infarctions, hyperfunction of endocrine organs, pronounced atherosclerotic phenomena, oncological neoplasms and blood diseases.

Individual physiotherapy
Individual physiotherapy is the most common treatment for patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It is conducted by a single patient physiotherapist, taking into account his individual health condition. According to statistics, in more than 80% of cases, patients have an improvement in the state of the musculoskeletal system, reduced pain, improved the condition of muscles and ligaments.

Inhalations
Used to treat infectious, allergic and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract, including in their postoperative or post-traumatic condition. Mineral water is most commonly used in inhalation, which is sprayed onto microscopic particles that are inhaled through the mouth or nose. Doctors recommend breathing in with your mouth and exhaling with your nose. Medications can also be added to the water as prescribed by the doctor. Inhalation promotes mucus and sputum, purification of mucosal cells. Some types of mineral waters (for example, water from the “Forest” source in Marianske Lazne, Czech Republic) contribute to the removal of mucus even from the bronchi.

Interference therapy
Interference therapy - the method of therapeutic use of alternating currents of sound frequency using a special generator. The interference of currents occurs in the patient’s deep-lying tissues, which is a pronounced effect on the excitable tissues of internal organs. Interference therapy is indicated for vegetalgy, neuralgia, radiculopathy, zoster, Raynaud's disease, arthrosis. The procedure is also used to treat the gastrointestinal tract: chronic gastritis, biliary dyskinesia, colitis. Therapeutic effect - analgesic, antispasmodic, neuro, trophic, myostimulating. Contraindications: urolithiasis, cholelithiasis, thrombophlebitis, the presence of a pacemaker, skin defects in the area of exposure.

Iodine-bromine baths
Iodine and bromine, being biologically active substances, play a huge role in the life of the body. A large amount of iodine is needed by the thyroid gland, which causes the body's hormones and metabolism (metabolism) as a whole. Bromine in large quantities is needed by the brain structures. Iodine-bromine baths normalize the functions of the central nervous system, metabolic processes, the functions of the thyroid gland, the blood circulation process. Not all resorts have natural iodine-bromine mineral waters. Therefore, artificial bromine baths are often prepared: in 1 liter of water, 100 g of sodium iodide and 250 g of potassium bromide are dissolved.

Kinesiotherapy
Kinesiotherapy is a special rehabilitation method used in physiotherapy exercises. It is used in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, helps to improve the mobility of joints, strengthen the muscular corset. Kinesiotherapy helps even with vertebral hernia, arthritis, arthrosis, chronic back pain. In spa hotels, the so-called "passive" kinesiotherapy is usually used, that is, the patient does not perform the set of exercises himself, and the physiotherapist-rehabilitologist deals with him. There are also some contraindications for kinesiotherapy: thrombophlebitis, rupture of muscles and tendons, cancer, heart failure, the presence of stones in the kidneys, gallstone disease, epilepsy, circulatory disorders in the brain, diabetes mellitus.
