The main directions of treatment are:
Hydrotherapy. The main procedures are visiting the pool with 100% natural thermal water, thermal baths, underwater traction of the spine and rehabilitation exercises in the pool. Sulfur and minerals contained in thermal water tend to be actively absorbed into the skin and connective tissues (fiber, cartilage, tendons), preventing the degradation of cartilage tissue. Sulfur also has a vasodilator and antiseptic effect.
In spa hotels of Piestany very effectively do underwater traction of the spine, which is carried out in thermal mineral water with a temperature of 38 °C. Under the influence of warm water, the muscles relax and, under their own weight, the patient's spine gradually stretches. Sometimes it is advisable to use additional weights, which are usually mounted on the legs or torso. Underwater traction allows you to relieve excessive pressure in the intervertebral discs, helps to reduce small intervertebral hernias and the return of displaced intervertebral discs to their natural position, relieves pain.
Drinking course is practiced in Piestany as an additional procedure.

Mud therapy. The main treatment procedures are a mud pool and mud applications. Healing mud, as well as thermal water, saturates the cartilage, connective tissue and intervertebral discs with useful trace elements. During the mud procedures, blood vessels dilate, blood pressure decreases, muscle hypertonicity is removed, blood circulation is enhanced, pain syndrome goes away. Mud applications also help to reduce tumors around the joints, contribute to an increase in anti-inflammatory activity of the body. Mud procedures at the Piestany resort are carried out using technology that is almost never used at many other resorts. In particular, in the mud pool, Piestany sulfur mud is mixed with 100% natural thermal mineral water, which enhances its healing properties.
Mud applications are carried out by directly applying therapeutic mud to the patient's body. The temperature of the mud depends on the doctor’s prescriptions, which gives them based on a study of the patient’s cardiac activity, the degree of the disease itself, and individual tolerance of the mud procedure. The intensity of the mud procedures at any time can be adjusted by the doctor based on the dynamics of the patient’s health status.
In addition, mud kinesiotherapy is considered to be a very effective procedure, when the patient puts his hands in the healing mud and does a set of exercises. This procedure allows you to develop joints and relieve pain.
