Joint diseases are one of the indications for spa treatment. Arthrosis is successfully treated in the sanatorium "Magadan". After staying in the sanatorium, many guests experience reduced pain and increased motor range. Due to the course of treatment, this effect persists for several months.

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage gradually thinns, the composition of the joint fluid changes, and the load on the bone and ligaments increases. The process develops slowly, over the years, and for a long time it is manifested only by discomfort and stiffness. Over time, pain, movement restriction, and stress response are added.

How does sanatorium treatment help with osteoarthritis?

Cartilage tissues, muscles, ligaments, blood supply and nervous regulation are involved in the development of the disease. If you only work with pain, the reason remains. The sanatorium format allows you to work on several links at once — the joint, the surrounding tissues and the general metabolism.

• Reduction of pain and inflammation.

Course treatments reduce the severity of chronic inflammation in the joint and surrounding tissues. The pain becomes less pronounced. The joint does not react so sharply to movement or changes in load.

• Improved mobility.

Due to the work with muscles, ligaments and blood supply, the motor amplitude expands. The joint "turns on" to work without sudden resistance and protective tension.

• Slowing the progression of the disease.

Sanatorium treatment does not cancel the diagnosis itself, but reduces the rate of deforming changes. 

Methods of treatment of osteoarthritis in the sanatorium "Magadan"

In spa treatment, each procedure solves its own problem — it reduces pain, returns movement or maintains tissues in working order. Only in combination do these methods produce tangible results.

• Mud treatment.

Silt sulfide mud provides a deep thermal and chemical effect on the joint and surrounding tissues. Blood circulation improves, muscle tension decreases, and the joint reacts more calmly to movement.

• Physiotherapy procedures.

Physical therapy is aimed at reducing pain, improving tissue trophism and working with the musculoskeletal system. The methods for each patient with osteoarthritis are selected individually, taking into account the stage of the disease and the condition.

• Physical therapy.

Physical therapy occupies a key place in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The complexes of exercises developed by specialists restore motor activity. Proper muscle balance and joint support are formed.

• Massage and restorative techniques.

After massage sessions, chronic muscle tension is relieved. In combination with other methods, it enhances the effect of spa treatment of osteoarthritis.

The benefits of treating osteoarthritis in a sanatorium setting

The
• course is supervised by a doctor. The scheme is adjusted according to the body's reaction.
• Therapy, rest, sea water, proper nutrition - everything works as a single program. This saves time and guarantees a more efficient result.
The
• body is not torn between work and treatment. Recovery is proceeding in a calm mode, without constant return to stress.

What is the result of sanatorium treatment of osteoarthritis?

After the course, the severity of the pain syndrome decreases, movements become more confident, and stiffness decreases. The joint tolerates walking, everyday activity and therapeutic stress better.

After the sanatorium, doctors recommend maintaining moderate physical activity, continuing to exercise, avoiding sudden overloads, and controlling weight. If a person with osteoarthritis regularly visits a sanatorium, it is possible to slow down the progression of the disease and maintain comfortable physical activity.

Who is suitable for the treatment of osteoarthritis in a sanatorium

Sanatorium treatment is suitable for people with stage I–II osteoarthritis, as well as for transitional forms without signs of acute inflammation. Most often, these are patients with the following symptoms:

• joint pain after walking, physical activity, or by the end of the day;
• morning stiffness that goes away after a person breaks up;
• reduced range of motion, feeling of stiffness;
• crunching and discomfort in the joint during movement;
• fatigue of the muscles around the joint;
• residual pain after past exacerbations.

The sanatorium format, in consultation with the attending physician, is also suitable in the period between exacerbations, when the task is to reduce the frequency of pain episodes, maintain joint mobility and improve the tolerance of daily stress.
