By a special category of medical and therapeutic measures include procedures for providing dynamic impact on the patient’s body vibrations, waves, currents and water jets. Often the mechanical effect is combined with thermal, when the liquid in contact with the skin heats up to +40-42 C. These procedures cause the body to the positive physiological changes – reduce inflammation, stimulate metabolism, improve circulation and produce many other effects. The sanatorium “Podolia” travel can be assigned to vibration and whirlpool baths, as well as underwater massage shower.

Vibrating Bath

These procedures are in effect for a specific body area of ??mechanical vibrations of low frequency transmitted to the skin through a layer of warm water. Thanks to this, the patient not only act hydrostatic, but the temperature factor. If the vacationer appointed whirlpool bath with mineral water, is added to the treatment and chemical aspect. This procedure has anti-inflammatory, desensitizing and analgesic effect, but also changes the trophic tissue. The dosage of vibration improves lymph and blood circulation and lead to normal metabolism. The sanatorium “Podolia” vibrating bath appointed travel with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, digestive system, respiratory ailments and female genitalia. Particularly well, they have proven in the treatment of degenerative disc disease, chronic pneumonia, bronchial asthma, gastritis, and cholecystitis.

Whirlpool

The mechanism of action similar to a Jacuzzi whirlpools – jets of water and twists performed underwater massage different parts of the body. Medical factors in this case are the hydrostatic and thermal stimuli, enhanced monotonous movement of water in the tub. Effect is noticeable even from a single vortex taking a bath. As a result, increases the tone of veins and improves hemodynamics. Systemic treatment improves the microcirculation in the skin, normalizes the sympathetic-adrenal parameters of the system, reduces serotonin levels and cause other effects that are beneficial for your metabolism. Whirlpool improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system, reduces inflammation, has analgesic, resolving and stimulating action. Such procedures are assigned to patients suffering from diseases of the joints, nervous system, respiratory system and digestive system.

Underwater shower massage

During the underwater shower-massage the patient’s body is massaged elastic jet of water from a special apparatus. A combination of mechanical and thermal effects causes an increase in skin temperature, blood rushes to that. Thanks to such stimulation improves microcirculatory processes, tissue nutrition, lymph and blood circulation. In addition, massage shower normalizes metabolism, accelerates the elimination of sources of inflammation, relaxes tense muscles. This procedure is applicable in the treatment and prevention of injuries of the musculoskeletal system, peripheral nervous system disorders, varicose veins, pathologic menopause, endocrine disorders. Underwater shower massage an excellent reputation as a rehabilitation procedure that promotes rapid healing of wounds, ulcers and other injuries.

The most modern methods of treatment will not succeed without accurate the diagnosis. That is why special attention in the sanatorium “Podolia” on improving diagnostic methods. The main task is to identify the individual characteristics of the health of our guests and select the most efficient set of treatments. To this end resorts experienced professionals conducting clinical, immunological, biochemical and other studies. Laboratories equipped with the latest spa equipment for the wide range of instrumental diagnosis disorders of the body.

Instrumental methods of diagnosis

Along with traditional studies of health of patients in the sanatorium “Podolia” are widely practiced diagnosis based on the latest instrumental methods. They include ulrazvukovye survey reovasography, Holter monitoring with computer analysis, different types of radiography, electrocardiography and encephalography. This allows us to estimate with precision the status of all systems of the patient and with the results obtained, assign the appropriate treatment.

Ultrasound examinations

One of the most effective and relatively simple methods of diagnosis is ultrasonography (USG). It is based on recording the reflected sound waves from blood vessels and organs of the body, on the basis of which conclusions can be drawn about their condition. For example, using ultrasound to diagnose the doctor is able to narrowing of the arteries and veins or presence of blood clots that can cause a stroke. This makes it possible to take preventive measures to eliminate violations and prevent dangerous abnormalities. Ultrasound is used in cases of suspected presence of disease bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular system, gynecological, urological and many other diseases.

Electroencephalographic studies

An indispensable method for diagnosing neurological, psychiatric, speech and other disorders is electroencephalography (EEG). In the course of its recorded electrical activity of the brain, which are recognized on the basis of degenerative, inflammatory disease of the body, as well as possible tumor. EEG allows to localize the lesion of the brain and monitor the progress of the rehabilitation process. Thanks to the doctors to make quick changes in the course of treatment and adjust it dynamically.

Rheovasography

The essence of this method is to record changes in electrical conductivity of body tissues, which depends on the fullness of the vessels with blood. This study allows to diagnose pathological changes in the vessels, to draw conclusions about their tone and general condition of the peripheral blood circulation of the extremities. In addition, rheovasography used to assess the hemodynamic brain and helps in choosing the treatment of trauma and vascular disorders.

Other methods of diagnosis

The sanatorium “Podolia” by constant monitoring of health tourists and monitored the change in its performance in relation to the treatments. The list of applicable methods of diagnosis is extremely broad – from the traditional blood pressure measurements to specific gynecological, ENT and ophthalmic research. All this is aimed at achieving the maximum effect of spa treatment at our health resort.

Phototherapy and laser therapy

Modern hardware physiotherapy includes dozens of methods of light therapy. In general, it is dosed on the human body ultraviolet, infrared and visible radiation. At the same time, more than the wavelength, the deeper the radiation penetrates into the body and the greater its impact. For example, ultraviolet light penetrates the tissue to a depth of 1 mm, visible light – up to 1 cm, and infrared radiation – up to 23 cm Accordingly, for the treatment of various diseases and response to various types of light therapy are used. With the invention of laser medicine has in its arsenal powerful light therapy, which are widely used in the sanatorium “Podolia.”

External ultraviolet irradiation

There are two main types of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) – general and local. Last affect certain parts of the body where localized disturbances. It causes the tissues of the body in humoral, and neuro-biological reflex processes. In practice, this involves activation of biochemical processes, physiological and metabolic responses of cells. Local UV irradiation has bactericidal, trophic and anti-inflammatory action. It is assigned to the treatment of diseases of the muscles, nerves and skin, recover from injuries, wounds, bruises, burns and frostbite. The total UV is applied with a lack of vitamins in the body, to improve immunity in the treatment of rickets and other diseases.

Ultraviolet irradiation of blood

This method is practiced in the sanatorium “Podolia” relatively recently, because it is one of the newest ways to light therapy. Its mechanism of action is the ionization of atoms in the blood, due to which they readily enter into combination with other atoms. UVI of blood causes an increase in phagocytic activity of T lymphocytes, which are an important component of the human immune system. Furthermore, the procedure increases the mobility of red blood cells and platelets, as well as causing a number of complex changes in blood chemistry. As a result of ultraviolet irradiation of blood has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, desensitizing and analgesic effect. It helps to improve microcirculation and increases the overall resistance of the organism to various ailments. This procedure is indicated for skin diseases, acute pneumonia, rheumatism, hepatitis, hypertension, ischemia, diseases of the nervous, digestive, and urogenital system.

Hydro-laser shower

As part of the physical therapy procedures for patients to have three medical factors – heat hot water, its pressure on the skin, creating the effect of massage and laser irradiation. The result is a stimulation of regenerative processes, improves the immune system and microcirculation. Hydro shower and has a strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect hiposensibilic. The procedure prescribed for the treatment of skin diseases, musculoskeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is well established as a means to correct weight, eliminate cellulite, treat impotence and frigidity.

Any living cell, among other things, is an oscillatory circuit, which are inherent factors such as capacitance and resistance. The same can be said about the larger structures of the human body – tissues, internal organs, large and small circle of blood. Thanks to external electromagnetic fields can have a significant impact on virtually all body systems. In recent decades, medicine has adopted a set of methods of physiotherapy, based on effects on the body of electromagnetic fields and waves. Sanatorium “Podolia” has the latest equipment for electrotherapy. Their aggregate markedly enhances the effect of radon therapy, peat and other therapies.

Short-wave therapy

Curative factor of this method are electromagnetic waves of high frequency. They create a magnetic field induces in the tissues of the body electromotive force and the eddy currents. Under their influence is an endogenous heat production, disposed of inflammation and relieves spasms. In this magnetic field penetration depth in tissue reaches 8-9 cm short-wave therapy is indicated for chronic and subacute inflammatory diseases of internal organs, peripheral nervous and urogenital systems. This method has worked well in the rehabilitation of patients after fractures of long bones, treatment of respiratory disorders, the treatment of hypertension, neuritis, scleroderma and other diseases.

Detsimetrovolnovaya therapy

The essence of the method lies in the effects on the tissues of the body of electromagnetic waves with a frequency 433-915 MHz, lying in the decimeter range. They release heat energy, which is distributed to tissues and organs located deep in the body. UHF therapy produces anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, vascular and immunomodulatory effects. It is best to eliminate disturbances in the organs of the endocrine system. In addition, indications for use of this method are polyarthritis, diseases of the spine, extremities and peripheral nerves, hypertension, ischemia and other disorders.

Arsonvalization

Mechanism of action is based on darsonvalization application to different parts of the body pulsed alternating current frequency 110 kHz. Its feature is the use of a sufficiently high voltage (about 20 kV) with low current. The impact of rapidly decaying pulse causes the first contraction and then expansion of blood vessels, thus normalizing their tone and improves capillary circulation. In addition darsonvalization reduces the sensitivity of nerve endings, pain and relieves spasm of smooth muscles. This procedure is indicated for the treatment of wounds, burns, varicose veins, venous ulcers, hemorrhoids, diseases of the nervous system and skin.

Magnetotherapy

In the course of procedures in the magnetic therapy for patients affected by the constant, pulsating or alternating low-frequency magnetic field. It has beneficial effects on biological processes in cells, in particular, 30-40% increase in the rate of chemical reactions and decreases the excitability of neurons. Magnetic therapy has antispasmodic, anti-and sedation, as well as improves blood circulation. There are also detoxifying and analgesic effects. This procedure is used to relieve inflammation in the acute phase, treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system, hypertension, and many chronic diseases of internal organs.

Speleotherapy, ozone treatment and hirudotherapy

Together with radon, mud and physiotherapy, in the sanatorium “Podolia” are widely practiced methods of treatment, which can be attributed to non-medical reasons, or not quite standard. One of the factors of non-medical treatment is climatotherapy. Our health center is located in a green corner of Ukraine, free from industrial emissions. Here, nature heals the rest of fresh air, beautiful scenery, scents of forest and grassland. In the vicinity of Khmelnik are several caves, where vacationers are treated by speleotherapy. In the study working sanatorium treatment with leeches, applied for the healing of many diseases since time immemorial. Treatment with ozone, which, though it is a physical therapy method also applies to the category of not quite normal procedures. These and other tools perfectly complement the main factors of treatment and increase the effect of sanatorium stay in our health resort.

Ozone

Treatment by this method is based on the medical use of ozone-oxygen mixture. It is produced by exposure to oxygen, the AC high voltage. Varying doses of ozone, a patient receives, it is possible to achieve both enhance reproductive capacity of cells and kill them. Ozone therapy has antiviral and antibacterial properties, increases the flexibility of red blood cells and promotes the degradation of fatty acids. As a result of these and other effects of ozone treatment leads to improvement of hemodynamics, normalization of the nervous system, activation of defense reactions. Indications for the procedure are varicose veins, coronary heart disease, migraine, asthma, stomach ulcers, chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, diabetes and many other violations.

Speleotherapy

Curative factor of this method is the unique climate of the caves. He held a constant temperature and pressure, the prevalence in the air of negative ions, low humidity and lack of allergens and bacterial flora. Stay in the caves normalizes metabolism, improves blood pressure and increases the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Significantly, that Speleological Therapeutic procedures have pronounced cleaning effect on the organs of the bronchopulmonary system.

This makes this method particularly valuable for people suffering from asthma, lung and upper respiratory tract. In addition, speleotherapy appointed for such diagnoses as hypertension, kidney failure, rheumatism, as well as allergic skin diseases and immunodeficiency.

Hirudotherapy

Treatment with leeches has a comprehensive therapeutic effect. In place of sucking leeches capillary bleeding occurs, thereby venous stasis wound and activated hemodynamics. In addition, the blood gets a number of biologically active substances – hirudin, hyaluronidase, distabelazny complex, analgesics and antibiotics. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, reduces the likelihood of blood clots, reduces the swelling of tissues. Hirudotherapy helps patients with different diagnoses. We are talking about neuralgia, osteochondrosis, hypertension, radiculitis, thrombophlebitis, prostatitis, hypertension and other ailments. Hirudotherapy appointed for insomnia, headaches, diabetes, rheumatism and a variety of skin diseases. Treatment with leeches good for impaired digestive, respiratory, immune and endocrine systems.
