Procedures in Jurmala
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.

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.

Kneipp Path
Kneipp path is a type of hydrotherapy, tempering procedure. The track is a series of tanks, which, due to the touch nozzles that are triggered when the foot enters the unit, are automatically filled with cold and warm water. Regular use of this procedure strengthens the immune system, stimulates blood circulation and improves the blood supply to the lower extremities.

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. The effect of laser therapy is manifested in the fact that the light energy absorbed by the cells triggers important biochemical processes that accelerate vascular regeneration, increase oxygen absorption by the tissues, and promotes accelerated healing of wounds. In general, laser therapy has anti-inflammatory, biostimulating, analgesic effect.

Light therapy
Light therapy is the use of bright rays that are able to penetrate deep into the tissues of the body, but they do not contain ultraviolet radiation. Polarized light acts at the cellular level, therefore, the body accelerates the processes of metabolism and synthesis of substances necessary for normal life. One of the most important purposes of this method is stimulation of the body’s immune system.

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.

Manual lymphatic drainage massage
Manual Lymphatic drainage massage (pneumopressure, pressure therapy) - a special type of massage, which is carried out by a physiotherapist, is usually prescribed for disorders of lymph flow. Massage is performed by stroking movements of the hands. There is a release of the body from slags, toxins, fluid accumulated in the tissues.

Microwave therapy (UHF-therapy)
The method of treatment in which the patient's body is affected by the electromagnetic field of ultra-high frequency. Under the influence of microwave therapy, blood vessels dilate, blood flow increases, smooth muscle spasms decrease, the processes of inhibition and excitation of the nervous system are normalized, the passage of impulses along the nerve fiber is accelerated, protein, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism changes. Microwave therapy stimulates the function of the sympatho-adrenal system, has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, hyposensitizing, analgesic effect.

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.

Mud vaginal tampons
During the procedure, peat mud is used (introduced by a special syringe or a special tip). It has a positive effect on the vaginal microflora, increases blood circulation, stimulates the production of hormones, relieves inflammation, promotes the resorption of hematomas and edema. After the procedure, the dirt is removed by douching.

Mud wraps
The procedure consists in applying on the body a layer of curative mud heated to 40 degrees with a thickness of about 6 mm and then wrapping the patient with a film and a blanket to prolong the thermal effect. Mud wrapping has a powerful therapeutic effect: cleanses and stimulates all layers of the skin, helps muscles and ligaments relax, soothes the nervous system and improves sleep. Also, a complex body wrap normalizes blood circulation, reduces the intensity of joint pain, and also increases the amount of movement in the joints and spine.

Myostimulator
This device acts on the muscles of the body using electrical impulses. Electrodes are applied to the patient's body in close proximity to the stimulated muscles. The electrical impulses sent from the device are like the impulses of the nervous system that cause the muscles to contract. The procedure is effective for treating and restoring the natural work of muscles, internal organs, body shaping, cellulite treatment, increasing muscle mass, strengthening muscles.
