Procedures in Smrdaky
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.

Darsonvalization
Darsonvalization - the impact of pulsed alternating current of high frequency (110 and 440 kHz), high voltage (20 kV) and low power (0.02 mA). With a total darsonvalization, horizontal eddy currents occur in the tissues, causing various physiological reactions: slowing blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, normalizing the tone of the blood vessels of the brain. Blood circulation, metabolism, and immune responses are improved. The general effect on the body also occurs - blood pressure is reduced, a calming effect is achieved.

Diadynamic therapy
When conducting, constant low-frequency half-sinusoidal pulsed currents are used, their widespread use for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes due to the effects - anesthetic, myoneurostimulating, vasoactive, trophic, etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paraffin wrap
The procedure improves joint mobility, reduces chronic pain, activates immune processes, and has anti-inflammatory effects.

Partial massage
It is applied locally on specific problem areas of the body - head, neck, legs, feet.

Pearl baths
Pearl baths (can be carried out on the basis of both ordinary water and mineral water) have a massaging effect on the body due to the tactile action of water bubbles. This procedure also nourishes the body with oxygen, eliminates oxygen deficiency in tissues, which is present in a number of diseases. Pearl baths stimulate blood circulation, accelerate the resorption of inflammatory processes, relax muscles, eliminate cramps, reduce pain in the musculoskeletal system, accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.
