Carbon dioxide bath
Carbonic dioxide baths have a complex effect. This means that the patient’s body is experiencing: Firstly, the chemical effect due to the penetration of carbon dioxide into the blood through the skin, which has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Secondly, the temperature effect (the so-called temperature massage), since the skin in a two-phase “water-gas” environment experiences different temperature effects: water, the temperature of which is 35-38 °C, and gas bubbles, the temperature of which is lower and may be 12–25 °C. Thirdly, physical or tactile impact due to gas bubbles, which, settling and escaping from the skin surface, cause a point-like massage effect.

Circular shower
Circular (Swiss) shower is a water procedure using a special device that is equipped with tubes for water supply in a vertical and horizontal position on all sides. Thin jets of water are fed under pressure and massage the body well from all sides. The circular shower is made with water heated to 35 °C and its temperature drops to 25 °C. The intensity of water pressure changes to allow the body to relax, and then raise the tone of the nervous system. The procedure eliminates irritability, relieves tension, helps with cellulite, as it stimulates the breakdown of body fat. Circular shower reduces joint pain, stimulates the cardiovascular system.

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.

Darsonvalization
Darsonvalization - the impact of pulsed alternating current of high frequency (110 and 440 kHz), high voltage (20 kV) and low power (0.02 mA). With a total darsonvalization, horizontal eddy currents occur in the tissues, causing various physiological reactions: slowing blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, normalizing the tone of the blood vessels of the brain. Blood circulation, metabolism, and immune responses are improved. The general effect on the body also occurs - blood pressure is reduced, a calming effect is achieved.

Diadynamic therapy
When conducting, constant low-frequency half-sinusoidal pulsed currents are used, their widespread use for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes due to the effects - anesthetic, myoneurostimulating, vasoactive, trophic, etc.

Diathermy
Diathermy is a method of physiotherapy, which consists in exposing parts of a patient's body to a continuous or pulsed electric field of high or ultrahigh frequency. The procedure is absolutely painless. Electrical energy is converted into body tissue into heat, which leads to the expansion of capillaries, increased blood circulation and lymph outflow in the affected tissues, reduction of pain, which is caused by edematous processes. Diathermy stimulates the regenerative processes in the tissues, which makes it possible to apply this procedure at various stages of the inflammatory process. When the patient is exposed to the abdominal area, the increased muscle tone of the intestine, gallbladder and biliary tract is reduced. In patients with reduced secretion of the stomach, the secretion of gastric juice increases, while with increased secretion it decreases. In chronic inflammation of the kidneys, diathermy normalizes the dynamics of urination and restores kidney function. In general, the versatility of the therapeutic effect of diathermy determines the broad indications for the purpose of this procedure. Diathermy is indicated in inflammatory processes of any localization. Contraindications: purulent processes in the lungs, female genital organs, diabetic retinopathy, bleeding tendency, malignant tumors, myocardial infarction.

Diet therapy (health food)
Diet therapy is a therapeutic method consisting in the treatment of various diseases with a special diet; the same as medical nutrition. Diet therapy is the use of nutrition for the treatment of various diseases. The basis of diet therapy is the theory of balanced nutrition. The influence of clinical nutrition is determined by the qualitative and quantitative composition of food (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, microelements, etc.), its calorific value, physical properties (volume, temperature, texture), diet (eating hours, food distribution during days, the frequency of receptions), the therapeutic effect of individual products. Medical nutrition is prescribed in the form of special diets (therapeutic diets / tables), taking into account the pathogenesis of the disease, the characteristics of the course of the main and associated diseases in a patient. Diet therapy is strictly consistent with the overall treatment plan. Sometimes dietotherapy is the main method of treatment, sometimes it serves as an obligatory therapeutic background against which all other, including specific, therapy is applied.

Dry carbon dioxide bath
When conducting dry carbon dioxide baths, in contrast to water carbon dioxide baths, direct exposure to carbon dioxide takes place. The human body reacts to carbon dioxide by expanding blood vessels and capillaries, as well as increasing the level of oxygen in the blood. Accordingly, blood pressure decreases and vascular condition improves. The lymphatic system, which is responsible for cleaning the body of toxins, begins to work more actively. Dry carbon baths can also cure a number of diseases. Diabetes mellitus. Expansion of blood vessels improves blood circulation in human muscle tissue. Insulin interacts more actively with its receptors, which leads to a decrease in blood sugar levels. Thrombophlebitis. Under the influence of carbon dioxide, blood viscosity decreases, which is the prevention of various congestion in the blood, and, consequently, the formation of blood clots. Bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. In the process of treatment with the help of dry carbon dioxide baths, the appearance of bronchospasm are eliminated, upper respiration is improved. Skin diseases, including psoriasis. Carbon dioxide baths accelerate the healing process, have antiseptic features, help reduce itching.

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.

Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation - an electrotherapy method using a special apparatus that acts on the body by pulsed electric currents of a certain strength. It is aimed at enhancing the motor activity of skeletal muscles and smooth muscles of internal organs, improving peripheral arterial and venous blood circulation, lymph outflow, increasing and strengthening muscle mass in athletes, as well as stimulating the diaphragm and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall to improve the breathing process. Electrical stimulation is indicated for motor disorders due to diseases and injuries of the central and peripheral nervous system, disorders of the functions of the stomach, intestines, bladder, ureters, uterus and its appendages. Contraindicated in severe heart rhythm disturbances, high arterial hypertension, frequent vascular crises, hemorrhagic syndrome, acute inflammatory processes, fever, bone fractures before their consolidation, malignant neoplasms and suspected presence of them, epilepsy, individual current intolerance.
