The indications of the mud-balneotherapy cures are:
primary and secondary osteo-arthritis
peri- arthropathy (tendonitis, capsulitis, bursitis, enteropathy)
fibro-myalgic syndrome
after-effects of trauma (bony, muscular and ligament)
radiculitis syndromes (discopathy, Guillain-Barré Syndrome - Acute idiopathic polyneuritis, algo neuro-dystrophy)
chronic arthritis in phase of quiescence (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosed spondyilitis, articulate podagra)
The cure is carried out in two communicating rooms; in the first one, on appropriate bed the thermal mud (temp. 45°) is applied on the interesting zones.
After 20 minutes, the patient do a short shower to eliminate the mud; therefore,
|
 |
|
the patient proceeds to the therapeutic bath with or without hydro-massage, for about 15 minutes.
Then the patient is accompanied to the second "reaction room" where he remains
|
|
lying down and covered for 15 minutes.
During this phase of the rest, the complex mechanisms of the mud-balneotherapy continue to realize its beneficial effects.
In conclusion, there is a period of acclimatization in a common atmosphere.
