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.

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.

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.

Gymnastics in the pool
Exercise in the pool combines the positive therapeutic effects of water and special exercises. In the water, it is much easier for the patient to do the exercises, because his muscles are relaxed, he experiences resistance and hydrostatic pressure of water. The procedure is used for degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in particular - to improve the motor activity of the joints.

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.

Kinesiotherapy
Kinesiotherapy is a special rehabilitation method used in physiotherapy exercises. It is used in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, helps to improve the mobility of joints, strengthen the muscular corset. Kinesiotherapy helps even with vertebral hernia, arthritis, arthrosis, chronic back pain. In spa hotels, the so-called "passive" kinesiotherapy is usually used, that is, the patient does not perform the set of exercises himself, and the physiotherapist-rehabilitologist deals with him. There are also some contraindications for kinesiotherapy: thrombophlebitis, rupture of muscles and tendons, cancer, heart failure, the presence of stones in the kidneys, gallstone disease, epilepsy, circulatory disorders in the brain, diabetes mellitus.

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.

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.

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.
