improving tissue nutrition
relieving pain and swelling
helps adjust blood pressure
increase blood flow
better tissue healing
anti-inflammatory effects

podľa predpisu lekára

Price: 20,00 EUR

Electric impulses are used in the treatment of several diseases of the locomotive organs and neurological diseases. The electrotherapy procedure utilizes the irritating effect of mixed electric currents of varying intensity. Irritation by electrical impulses at specific parts of the body results in blood flow to the treated part of the body, mainly painful large joints. It has markedly analgesic effects, ie it relieves pain and at the same time relaxes and strengthens muscles.

Procedures

Diadynamics

Electrotreatment procedure that uses the irritating effect of mixed electrical currents (galvanic, faradic or other). It achieves blood flow to the treated part of the body, mainly painful large joints. It has analgesic effects.

Therapeutic effects:

pain relief
inhibition of inflammation
muscle relaxation and strengthening

Recommended for:

locomotive diseases (joint and spine pain)
neurological diseases

The procedure lasts: as prescribed by a doctor

Prescription required: yes

Interference currents

Interference currents are used in the treatment of locomotive organs. These are alternating, medium-frequency currents, which are applied by the device, irritating the nerve-muscle tissue. They are applied to the back, upper and lower limbs, bladder muscle.

Therapeutic effects:

pain relief
muscle relaxation
improving tissue perfusion
muscle stimulation

Recommended for:

pain of nervous origin
inflammatory rheumatic changes
in diseases of the spine, joints of the upper and lower limbs

The procedure lasts: as prescribed by a doctor

Prescription required: yes

Diathermy

Diathermy is a form of utilizing high-frequency currents for deep tissue overheating. The basic effect of the high-frequency current when passing through the tissue is the generation of heat at the depth of the tissue.

Therapeutic effects:

vascular enlargement increases blood flow
tissue nutrition is improved
local and overall defenses increase
heat acts sedative and relieves pain

Recommended for:

musculoskeletal disorders (eg chronic inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases, post-traumatic conditions)
nervous diseases (eg spine)

skin diseases (eg purulent skin, rose disease)
internal diseases (chronic airway inflammation, asthma)

The procedure lasts: as prescribed by a doctor

Prescription required: yes

Magnetotherapy

It utilizes the therapeutic effect of permanent or pulsating magnetic fields, which by their action increases the permeability of cell membranes many times. There is increased metabolism, markedly increased blood flow and oxygenation of body parts to which the pulsed magnetic field is applied. The client lies on a magnetic mat or has his limbs inserted into a magnetic applicator.

Therapeutic effects:

reduces and eliminates pain
causes dilation of blood vessels
has an anti-inflammatory effect
has a healing effect
promotes metabolism

Recommended for:

post-traumatic conditions
chronic, inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system
pains of nervous origin (neuralgia)

The procedure lasts: as prescribed by a doctor

Prescription required: yes

Ultrasound therapy

The ultrasonic device generates ultrasonic waves that penetrate deep into the tissues where they vibrate the cells. The tissue converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, thus locally raising the temperature of the underlying tissues, such as muscles and the micromassage effect at the cellular level. Regarding the indications, it is applied at different intensities and therapeutic doses. Ultrasound is applied by a physiotherapist in circular movements, using the head, directly to the affected area.

Therapeutic effects:

pain relief
release of cramps
improving blood flow
improving nutrition and tissue regeneration capacity
strong muscle relaxation

The royal power of nature

We offer you a unique type of preventive healthcare that combines comprehensive medical services and the healing powers of nature. The basic pillar for the provision of spa care is our thermal mineral water.

The thermal medicinal mineral water is used for partial and whole body baths as well as for drinking programmes for certain types of diseases: from a urological point of view, it is very suitable for phosphate and carbonate stones and sand in the urinary tract for its content of calcium sulphate (CaSO4), which reduces the pH of urine.

Chemical composition
	for bathing	for for drinking
Ca²⁺	257,31	258,12
Mg²⁺	62,75	62,75
SO4²	532	535
FE^-	1,5	1,4
CO²	52,8	158,4

The healing springs of Turčianske Teplice are declared as medicinal thermal mineral waters according to Act no. 538/2005 on natural healing waters, natural healing spas, spa resorts, and natural mineral waters. Due to the high mineral content levels of up to 1,524 mg/l, they have extremely beneficial and broad-spectrum therapeutic effects on locomotor, neurological, urological, digestive, gynaecological, oncological, and occupational diseases.

Healing effects of the springs in Turčianske Teplice

The thermal healing mineral water helps improve circulation of the blood and lymphatic system. The water pressure acts as a bandage, which facilitates exercise and movement in water.

An important physical effect of the thermal healing mineral water is the reaction of the organism. The primary response to this stimulus is an increase of the surface temperature of the body. The secondary reaction involves the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems, as well as the immune system. Also important is the chemical effect of the mineral water, when minerals enter into the skin and then deeper into the body tissues during and after the bath. Such a bath also reduces blood pressure and acts on the expansion of the vessels. Overall, the bath has a relaxing and soothing effect. The temperature of the mineral bath is usually 34-38°C (exceptionally up to 40°C).

The thermal water of Turčianske Teplice with a high mineral content (sulphates, bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.) has proven therapeutic effects on locomotor, urological, nerve, and gynaecological diseases.

drinking the water is suitable for prostate inflammation because it contains a lot of calcium and magnesium that have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects
for the high content of calcium, magnesium, and fluorine, the mineral water of Turčianske Teplice is also very suitable for drinking treatments against osteoporosis and several types of kidney stones and intestinal problems
from the point of view of the digestive tract, it is suitable for inflammation of the mucous membrane of the colon, where it has beneficial effects on the mucosa, and also for gallbladder diseases, as it increases the formation and secretion of bile
it is a good drink and also a medicinal product for hyperaciditis, even with the increased formation of gastric acid content; on the contrary, it is not recommended to drink the water in case of insufficient gastric acid in the organism
