Sanatorium and spa treatment is an important component of any kind of therapy. Staying in an area with certain climatic conditions, as well as a set of physiotherapeutic and balneological treatments, allows you to complete the course of previous treatment with the best results, prevent exacerbation of chronic diseases, and generally improve health, well-being and appearance. Sanatorium and spa treatment includes therapeutic and preventive measures and is an integral part of patients' rehabilitation, not only physical but also psychological, which is of utmost importance in wartime.

Sanatorium treatment combines physiotherapy, balneotherapy, i.e. mineral water treatment, diet therapy, physical rehabilitation and massage. All procedures are carried out in the conditions of the resort area, where staying has a beneficial effect on the human condition and helps to restore physical strength and psychological balance. It should be noted that there are almost no diseases that are not treated using this method.

In order to improve the system of rehabilitation treatment (medical rehabilitation), rehabilitation departments for patients of different profiles have recently been established in sanatoriums and resorts: for the treatment of patients who have suffered myocardial infarction, chronic respiratory diseases, complications due to diabetes mellitus, for the treatment of people who have suffered viral hepatitis, cerebral strokes, surgical interventions on the digestive system, major heart vessels, with the consequences of burns, gunshot and mine-blast injuries, etc.

When choosing a sanatorium, you can be guided by both the recommendations of specialists and your own preferences, but the final word is up to your doctor, because when choosing a sanatorium, you need to take into account not only the indications for treatment, but also contraindications from other organs and systems of the body.
