Therapeutic procedures are medical interventions. Each has its own indications, contraindications and stress on the body. For example, Charcot's shower, salt bath, and mud application increase blood pressure in the first minutes — three such procedures in a row are contraindicated for hypertensive patients. Magnetic therapy and electrophoresis are not combined with a pacemaker. The second reason is synergy. In a well-chosen program, each individual impact is enhanced.
What medical areas are represented in the sanatorium "Magadan"
The sanatorium operates on five profiles: musculoskeletal system, blood circulation, nervous system, gynecology, stress conditions and problems of excess weight.
Areas of work:
- hydrotherapy — baths and showers;
- mud treatment — applications of Yeisk mud;
- physiotherapy — magnetic therapy, laser therapy, electrotherapy;
- inhalation — aerosol and UV therapy;
- therapeutic massage — classical and hardware (Ceragem);
- physical therapy and exercise therapy;
- natural factors — climate treatment, drinking pump room.
During the standard 14-day trip, the patient receives 5 baths or showers, 5 mud applications, 5 physiotherapy, 5 massage sessions, 13 visits to the pool, physical therapy and climate therapy.
Balneotherapy and water treatments
In hydrotherapy,temperature trains blood vessels, hydrostatic pressure facilitates the work of the heart, and mineral components penetrate the skin.
Therapeutic baths
-
Iodine—
- bromine - soothe the nervous system, normalize the thyroid gland.
- Bischofite is a magnesium—rich brine, a classic for osteochondrosis and arthrosis.
- Silt-sulfide is a mild hybrid of a bath and mud application.
- Naphthalene has a pronounced anti—inflammatory effect in rheumatic diseases.
- Salt and kaolinite are general toning agents for metabolic disorders.
They are prescribed every other day, with a course of 8-12 procedures.

Shower treatments
- Charcot shower is a powerful jet from a distance of 3-4 meters; for obesity, cellulite, decreased tone.
- Circular — mild uniform effect; for neurosis, overwork, hypertension.
- Ascending — aiming at the perineum; for gynecological inflammations.
Underwater shower massage
The patient is in the bathtub, and the specialist is working with a massage jet underwater. Warm water pre-relaxes the muscles, hydro massage acts 5-10 cm deeper than manual. It is optimal for persistent muscle spasms and severe pain, when the patient cannot tolerate regular massage.
Mud treatment and natural recovery methods
Magadan uses Yeisk mud, silt sulfide, extracted from the estuaries of the Taganrog Bay. It contains sulfides and hydrogen sulfide, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iodine, bromine, and humic acids. This is one of the most valuable Russian peloids.
Applications of therapeutic mud.
The mud is heated to 38-42 ° C and applied with a layer of 4-6 cm for 15-20 minutes. Warming of tissues to a depth of 5 cm, penetration of sulfides through the skin, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The course consists of 8-10 applications every other day.
Complex effects in diseases of the joints and spine.
In osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis and the consequences of injury, dirt reduces synovitis, relieves muscle spasm, and stimulates the production of synovial fluid. Many people notice the first improvements by the 5th-6th application, a maximum of 3-4 weeks after the end of the course.
Physiotherapy procedures
In the standard package, two physiotherapy techniques alternate every other day.
- Magnetic therapy has decongestant, anti—inflammatory and vasodilating effects.
- Electrotherapy (electrophoresis) is the administration of a drug through the skin with galvanic current. The drug accumulates locally and is effective for 1-3 days.
- Laser therapy — a low-intensity laser stimulates regeneration at the cellular level. Analgesia is comparable to NSAIDs, without strain on the gastrointestinal tract.
- Ultrasound therapy penetrates to a depth of 8 cm, loosens scars, resolves infiltrates, and improves cartilage nutrition.
The doctor determines the specific amount of physiotherapy based on the results of the initial examination.
Inhalations and respiratory procedures
The climate of Looe is a healing factor in itself, thanks to the sea air with an aerosol of iodine, bromine and phytoncides of the arboretum park. The sanatorium also offers hardware techniques.
- Aerosol therapy is the inhalation of finely dispersed aerosols of medicinal and mineral solutions. It is useful for chronic bronchitis, rhinosinusitis, and recovery from acute respiratory viral infections.
- KUF irradiation is short-wave ultraviolet radiation with bactericidal and immunomodulatory effects on mucous membranes. It is prescribed for patients with chronic tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and recurrent rhinitis.
- Additionally, swimming in the pool (increases the vital capacity of the lungs), exercise therapy and aerotherapy work.
Therapeutic massage and manual methods of recovery
Separately, Korean Ceragem massage(Master V3 and V4 models): thermoacupressure couches with jade rollers work out the paravertebral muscles along the spine. Pain-free, 30-40 minutes, well tolerated by the elderly and those for whom classical massage is contraindicated.
Physical therapy and restorative activity
In osteochondrosis, the physical therapy program is focused on unloading the spine and strengthening the muscular corset, in osteoarthritis — on maintaining the volume of movement, in hypertension — dosed aerobic exercise, under stress — breathing practices.
In parallel, there is a terrencourt — marked routes of metered walking on the territory of the sanatorium and the arboretum. The most gentle aerobic exercise available even to patients with severe concomitant pathology.
SPA and relaxation treatments as an adjunct to treatment.
Magadan SPA is a full—fledged thermal complex:
- 288 m2 swimming pool with hydro massage;
- contrasting pools;
- cedar phyto barrel;
- Finnish sauna;
- hammam with heated floor;
- infrared sauna; the
- Kneipp path.
Contrast treatments train blood vessels, thermal ones remove toxins, the Kneipp track hardens and really works with varicose veins and chronic leg fatigue. SPA services are purchased in addition to the basic package.
What procedures should I choose for diseases of the joints, spine and nervous system?
An effective combination for osteochondrosis and osteoarthritis:
- mud applications every other day;
- bischofite baths;
- magneto- or laser therapy;
- electrophoresis;
- massage or Ceragem;
- daily physical therapy.
In neurological disorders such as stress, neurosis, and asthenia, the focus shifts to iodine—bromine baths, circular showers, magnetic collar therapy, general massage, and psychological relief.
In gynecological processes, mud applications, ascending showers, electrophoresis, bischofite or tin—sulfide baths are used outside of exacerbation.
What procedures are suitable for general body strengthening and prevention
If there is no specific diagnosis, but the task is to recover and not get sick in winter, the program is milder: salt or coalite baths, circular showers, aerosol therapy, general massage, physical therapy, swimming, contrast treatments at the SPA, Kneipp track, daily exercise and aerotherapy. A course of 10-14 days is enough to trigger an immune response and consolidate the effect for the season.
How the doctors of the sanatorium "Magadan" make up an individual treatment program
A personal plan is drawn up at the initial appointment with a therapist. The main diagnosis and stage, concomitant diseases, the data of the sanatorium card (form 072/y), the results of bioimpedance measurement, and the tolerability of procedures are taken into account. On the seventh day, a dynamic examination is performed. If necessary, the composition of the treatment is changed.
Contraindications to individual procedures
General contraindications are fixed in Federal Law No. 26-FZ. Sanatorium treatment is completely excluded:
- acute and subacute diseases, infections during the isolation period;
- chronic diseases in the acute stage;
- malignant neoplasms in the active phase of treatment;
- tuberculosis in the bacterial release phase;
- acute mental disorders, epilepsy with seizures;
- infectious diseases of the eyes and skin, parasitic diseases;
- sexually transmitted diseases.
Some techniques also have their limitations, for example, mud and thermal baths are not allowed for stage 3 hypertension, thyrotoxicosis, fibroids with a tendency to grow; magnetic therapy and electrophoresis for pacemakers and metal structures; Charcot shower for varicose veins and thrombophlebitis. The decision on a specific method is always left to the sanatorium doctor.
How to take a course of treatment in the sanatorium "Magadan" and get the maximum result
Apply for a spa card (form 072/y) from the therapist at your place of residence two to three weeks before arrival. Without a card, the first 2-3 days will be spent on its registration at the sanatorium, and the actual treatment time will be reduced. At the initial appointment, tell us in detail about the complaints and the usual loads, do not skip bioimpedance. Do not be burdened with excursions during the first three days of adaptation, go regularly to the pump room and to the terrencourt.
The effect is most pronounced after departure — after 2-4 weeks, many patients notice that the usual pain has gone away, sleep and blood pressure have returned to normal. To consolidate the result, repeat the course at least once a year, preferably in the off-season.
