There are many indications for spa treatment. For example, this type of treatment is effective in the presence of pneumosclerosis or chronic bronchitis. But it is worth noting in advance that in no case should undergo such rehabilitation during periods of exacerbation of chronic diseases of the respiratory systems. Also, such trips are not recommended for patients who have symptoms such as hemoptysis, exhaustion, fever, and purulent sputum. A vacation in a resort can be dangerous for people with a chronic, recurring form of pulmonary embolism. In any case, before the trip, the patient is advised to consult with a highly qualified specialist who will give permission for spa treatment and provide the necessary recommendations for choosing a place.
Sanatorium treatment after acute and chronic bronchitis
After a complete recovery from acute bronchitis, the patient may be shown rest at any camp site and in non-specialized rest homes. If bronchitis caused complications, then rest is indicated no earlier than 2-3 months after recovery at climatotherapy resorts. If bronchitis had a protracted course, then choosing a resort, you need to give preference to a mild, sparing climate, so that the adaptation process goes quickly and painlessly.
If asthenic syndrome or vegetovascular dystonia has developed against the background of bronchitis , then you need to go to a resort with a mountain climate – the resorts of Kyrgyzstan, Altai, the Caucasus or the Baltic regions and the Far East. In such sanatoriums there is a whole program of recreational activities: special nutrition, herbal medicine, physiotherapy.
Sanatorium treatment after pneumonia
After pneumonia, patients are shown sanatoriums in local resorts, as well as in coastal sanatoriums, which are located on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, the southern coast of Crimea and in Vladivostok. Sanatorium-resort treatment after the transferred pneumonia should be carried out only in the warm season – from May to October. In the sanatoriums, patients will also be presented with various wellness programs, which include therapeutic nutrition, herbal medicine, massage, physiotherapy exercises, psychotherapeutic assistance, as well as physiotherapeutic procedures according to various latest techniques. Such methods include procedures using pulsed currents that improve blood circulation and lymph circulation in the lungs, which significantly accelerates the recovery of the respiratory system after a disease. Also quite popular at such resorts is a course of infrared radiation, which has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Also, many of the above sanatoriums have at their disposal mercury-quartz baths and equipment for intravenous laser irradiation of blood. They are intended for the treatment of patients who, in addition to pneumonia, have severe intoxication and allergization of the body.
Sanatorium-resort treatment of patients with bronchial asthma
Resorts and sanatoriums are shown to patients with bronchial asthma , the main features of which are stable weather conditions and clean air. Among these, first of all, the resorts of Kislovodsk, as well as the eastern and southern Crimean coasts should be highlighted. If a patient is diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma, he should undergo rehabilitation treatment in sanatoriums of lowland forest resorts. Patients with bronchial asthma have recently recommended speleotherapy. With speleotherapy, the therapeutic effect is achieved by exposing the respiratory system to the unique climate of salt mines and karst caves. Such conditions, according to scientists, are very different from the usual terrestrial atmosphere, and the cave air itself is unusually clean and lacks microallergens and pathogenic microflora.
