Procedures in Marianske Lazne

Hydroxeur

In the bath, vortex flows are created, which carry out micro-massage, relieving muscle tension, providing a general relaxing effect.

Charcot shower

The procedure uses alternately hot (38-40 °C) and cold (18-20 °C) water. Charcot shower (Scottish douche) has a very tonic effect, improves blood circulation, activates the immune system and metabolism. This procedure also massages well and relieves muscle pain in degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Also shown in patients with circulatory disorders of the upper and lower extremities. Restrictions to the procedure: varicose veins and some skin diseases. Contraindications: pronounced cardiovascular pathologies (angina, heart attack), exacerbation of hypertension, fever, acute inflammation, tuberculosis, oncology, bleeding tendency, psychosis, weeping eczema.

Indian massage

Indian massage techniques are based on the effects on acupuncture points, which helps to eliminate pain in the head, various parts of the spine. Indian massage improves blood circulation, increases muscle elasticity, and has a general relaxing effect.

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.

Intestinal lavage

Carried out with the help of thermal mineral water (in spa hotels, where thermal water is not supplied, the procedure is carried out with ordinary purified water). Conducted strictly on doctor's prescription.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping — is a thin elastic cotton tape that sticks to the skin. Due to its elasticity, kinesio taping does not constrain movement. Its “job” is to “pull” the skin away from the tissues below it, facilitating the circulation of blood and lymph, which helps relieve swelling and pain.

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.

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.

Massage with honey

Honey massage effectively cleanses the skin, improves its elasticity, absorbs toxins. This is a good method of treating vegetative dystonia, bronchitis, pneumonia, as well as a pleasant way to strengthen the immune system.

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.

MLS® Laser therapy

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 packs

Therapeutic mud in the packages is applied locally to the problem areas. Due to the thermal effect, muscle tension, pain syndrome is relieved, blood circulation improves, and metabolic processes are activated. Therapeutic mud has anti-inflammatory effects.

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.
