Procedures in Karlovy Vary

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.

Drinking cure

Based on the anamnesis, medical history and the results of inspection and examinations, the doctor of the hotel prescribes a drinking cure. Follow the recommendations of the doctor: the spring, frequency and time of administration, dosage.

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.

Dry whirlpool bath

Body massage is carried out with water supplied to the elastic membrane, leaving the patient dry. It is used in comprehensive rehabilitation programs, for the relief of pain syndromes, for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, circulatory disorders, restoration of the work of internal organs and other.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An electrocardiogram is a necessary diagnostic method at resorts where cardiovascular diseases are treated.

Electromagnetic therapy

Electromagnetic therapy is carried out using a special device that emits electromagnetic pulses that cause the body to resonate. At the same time, due to the resonant effect, the body tries to bring its electromagnetic field closer to the specified device. This therapy is used in the treatment of diseases of the spine and joints, inflammatory processes in the organs of the respiratory, excretory and digestive systems, neurological disorders, and oncological diseases. It is also used for rehabilitation after surgical interventions and past serious illnesses.

Endogenous respiration

Specially developed method of therapeutic breathing, contributing to the saturation of the body with oxygen and the normalization of the activity of internal organs.

Endo-Vaco

Endo-vaco is an electrical procedure using low and medium frequency currents. It is used in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, as it helps to relax the muscles and eliminate pain syndrome.

Extremiter

Extremiter is a special device that is used to affect the limbs by alternating the phases of vacuum and compression. The device allows using about 40 different programs for individual programming of therapeutic procedures. The procedure begins with a phase of compression with air, as a result lymphatic drainage is accelerated, metabolic products are removed from the tissues and edema is reduced. Then the vacuum phase is used, which promotes the absorption of arterial blood in hard-to-reach areas of the periphery. As a result, the metabolism of tissues improves due to their oxygenation. Extremiter is used to treat more than 15 diseases of the musculoskeletal system and blood vessels. Contraindications for this procedure are: acute conditions of venous thrombosis, bleeding tendency, open wounds with danger of bleeding, purulent infections, malignant tumors, necrosis.

Face massage

Facial massage is used to restore the smoothness of the skin, activate blood circulation, improve muscle tone.

Finnish sauna

Floating

Procedure is carried out in a special capsule with water, where the Dead Sea salt is added. Floating is an effective relaxation method. It also helps to eliminate pain, relieves muscle tension, regulates blood pressure, increases blood circulation, has a positive effect on intracellular processes and the cardiovascular system.

Four-chamber galvanic bath

The procedure combines the effects of warm water and direct current. It stimulates blood circulation, improves tissue metabolism, reduces pain. Galvanic bath is prescribed for disorders of the blood supply to the limbs, rheumatological and post-traumatic conditions.

Gas injections CO2 (CO2 carboxytherapy)

Carbon dioxide CO2 is injected subcutaneously in the form of injections in the immediate vicinity of the joints and the spine. As a result, pain is reduced, blood supply to problem areas is improved, healing processes are activated.

Gastroscopy

This hotel / spa hotel holds gastroscopy - one of the types of endoscopic examination - a visual inspection of the walls of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum using a special instrument (gastroscope) introduced into the stomach through the mouth and esophagus.

General massage

Massage is applied mainly to areas of pathological changes. It helps eliminate pain, relax, restore normal muscle tone, improves blood circulation, stimulates regeneration processes.

Gua sha massage

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.
