How is treatment carried out in Františkovy Lázně

Introductory examination by a doctor

After checking into the sanatorium, the patient undergoes an initial examination by a doctor. The spa doctor can refer you for additional examination by a more specialized specialist - a gynecologist or cardiologist, depending on the patient's complaints. During the examination, the doctor prescribes an individual course of treatment. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe additional tests (blood test, ECG, bicycle ergometry, echocardiogram). Therefore, it is recommended to take with you the existing test results, examinations, and the conclusion of the attending physician (not later than six months ago) - this will save time and money on these tests.

How gynecological diseases are treated in Františkovy Lázně

The following methods are used for treatment:

Mud therapy (mud tampons, compresses) improves blood circulation in female genital organs, limits the formation of post-inflammatory adhesions, and prevents secondary infertility. Mud therapy helps women who have undergone in vitro fertilization. The special composition of sulfur-ferrous mud from the peat deposits of Františkovy Lázně stimulates the production of female hormones, estrogens (stimulates the maturation of follicles). Therapeutic mud does not contain microorganisms, so it is successfully used to treat fungal and bacterial diseases of the female genital organs.

Therapeutic mud does not cause undesirable changes in the microflora of the female genital organs, or irritation of their mucous membranes. Moreover, after using mud tampons, the mucous membrane of the genital organs is thoroughly washed with natural mineral water.

Hydrotherapy (vaginal irrigation with mineral water) improves blood circulation in the female genital organs and is an effective addition to mud therapy. Mineral water has a positive effect on the vaginal microflora: the activity of pathological bacteria is suppressed, the growth of lactobacilli is stimulated. In parallel with this, hormones are produced that affect the entire endocrine system of a woman.

Treatment with natural carbon dioxide CO2 (gas sitz baths), which dilates capillaries, improves blood circulation, and accelerates metabolic processes. In turn, increased blood circulation is an important condition for eliminating congestion in the female genital organs, as well as inflammatory processes. Františkovy Lázně is one of the few resorts in Europe where this procedure is performed, which has proven its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic gynecological diseases.

Physiotherapy (therapeutic exercise, including the Mozhishova method) is an important component of the complex treatment of gynecological diseases. Physiotherapeutic procedures help improve blood circulation, reduce congestion in the pelvic area, and dissolve decay products in inflammation foci.

How the cardiovascular system is treated in Františkovy Lázně

The following methods are used for treatment:

Hydrotherapy (carbon dioxide baths, underwater massage), which helps to stabilize cardiac activity and improve blood circulation, is the main procedure for treating the cardiovascular system. Carbon dioxide baths, penetrating through the pores of the skin into the body, cause vasodilation, increase blood circulation, and stabilize the heart rhythm. Carbon dioxide baths are often prescribed to hypertensive patients to improve their condition.

Physiotherapy (therapeutic exercise in a gym or swimming pool, ergometric training on exercise bikes, light reflex massage of the chest area), which improves cardiac activity.

Gas therapy (dry carbon dioxide baths). Dry carbon dioxide baths also help improve blood circulation, stabilise blood pressure and heart rate. Dry carbon dioxide baths do not cause side effects and are considered one of the best procedures for normalising the cardiovascular system as a whole.

How the musculoskeletal system is treated in Františkovy Lázně

In Františkovy Lázně, local mineral water and medicinal peat mud are also used to treat the musculoskeletal system. Peat mud is used in mud baths and for local applications to certain parts of the body - it not only deeply warms the body, increasing blood circulation and relieving pain, but also saturates the tissues with useful microelements. Mineral water has a muscle relaxant effect on the body, relieves muscle spasms, thereby reducing pain in problem areas of the musculoskeletal system.

The following methods are used for treatment:

Hydrotherapy (mineral pearl baths, underwater massage, carbon dioxide baths), which has a relaxing effect, activates blood circulation, reduces pain. Mineral baths help to widen the skin pores, through which some minerals enter the body - this is useful for both skin and cartilage. Underwater massage is also considered useful, which is not inferior in its effectiveness to classical massage.

Mud therapy (mud baths, mud applications). Mud procedures warm up problem areas of the musculoskeletal system and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Microelements contained in therapeutic mud are actively absorbed into the pores of the skin, penetrate the bloodstream and affect the bones and cartilage. In Františkovy Lázně, mud baths are prepared using a technology that provides the maximum therapeutic effect. As a rule, at Czech resorts, 5 liters of therapeutic mud and regular water are added to the mud bath. In Františkovy Lázně, a mud bath is prepared from 85 liters of peat and exclusively mineral water (at least 120 liters). Taking a bath with this ratio of peat and mineral water gives a unique healing effect.

The resort also uses mineral baths with mud extract, since this procedure does not put excessive heat stress on the body. It is prescribed to patients for whom classic peat baths are contraindicated.

Treatment with natural carbon dioxide (gas injections, dry carbon dioxide baths) improves blood circulation in problem areas and eliminates pain syndromes. It has been proven that natural carbon dioxide from Františkovy Lázně has a much better effect on the body than conventional medical CO2 used in most Czech resorts. Gas injections with natural CO2 eliminate pain in the musculoskeletal system for a long time.

Electrotherapy (diathermy, diadynamics, magnetic therapy, ultrasound, laser therapy) relieves muscle tension, eliminates pain, warms tissues, stimulates tissue regeneration processes, and eliminates inflammatory processes.

An important component of the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases is physiotherapy, which helps restore joint motor activity, improve muscle condition and overall coordination. The treatment also focuses on developing fine motor skills of the hands (using special exercise machines for the hands and fingers), especially in patients with impaired motor activity due to cardiovascular diseases.

How diabetes is treated in Františkovy Lázně

Diabetes mellitus occurs with metabolic disorders, accompanied by an increase in blood glucose levels. Particularly serious are the complications of diabetes, manifested by vascular, renal, neurological disorders, which leads to an increase in the morbidity and mortality of such patients. Diabetes mellitus is incurable, but can be compensated. One of the methods of treatment is spa treatment.

Spa treatment is a combination of patient education with appropriate treatment procedures. The educational program includes an explanation of the nature of the disease, the importance of dietary measures, and motivation to change lifestyle. The basis of the spa treatment is physical activity, diet therapy, drinking regimen and medical procedures.

How the gastrointestinal tract is treated in Františkovy Lázně

Treatment of gastrointestinal diseases in Františkovy Lázně is possible due to the large number of natural healing springs. Mineral springs have a therapeutic effect on chronic diseases of the esophagus and stomach, chronic diseases of the small and large intestines, gall bladder and bile ducts, as well as in the postoperative condition of these organs. There is a sulphate (Glauber's) spring here. Due to its exceptionally beneficial effect on the functions of the digestive tract, liver and bile ducts, the mineral waters of Františkovy Lázně are among the most frequently used for drinking treatment. In particular, Glauber III and Glauber IV salts are popular for constipation. Luchní Pramen has a beneficial effect on subsequent treatment of gallbladder and liver diseases. Springs with a high iron content - Železnátě and Nový Pramen - eliminate postoperative anemia. In case of excessive stomach acidity and mild catarrhal phenomena in the stomach, water from the springs Františkův, Luchní, Nové Kostelní is prescribed.

Treatment of gastrointestinal tract diseases is carried out under the supervision of specialists and nurses. The basis of treatment is a properly selected diet and mineral water intake regimen prescribed by the attending physician. As a result of treatment, normal functioning of the digestive organs is restored, the patient is explained the important role of a balanced diet and is taught proper nutrition.

Despite the fact that Františkovy Lázně has 24 mineral water springs, its mineral composition does not allow for the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract with the same effectiveness as in resorts where stomach treatment is the main specialization. However, Františkovy Lázně mineral water does have a certain therapeutic effect on the gastrointestinal tract. For example:

Františka Spring is used for mild digestive disorders.

Kartelje Spring is used for appetite disorders, pulmonary catarrh.

Meadow Spring is used for some diseases of the gallbladder, stomach and intestines.

Pallardi Spring is used for pulmonary catarrh, stomach and anorexia.

Glauber 1 Spring has a mild laxative effect, is used for catarrh of the stomach and intestines.

Glauber 2 Spring has a slightly weaker effect on the digestive tract than Glauber 1.

Glauber 3 and Glauber 4 Springs have a strong laxative effect.

Solnechny Spring and Stanislavsky Spring have a mild laxative effect, are used for pulmonary catarrh.

In addition, Františkovy Lázně has other springs used to treat the kidneys, urinary tract and respiratory tract. For example:

The Iron Spring (rich in iron) and the New Spring are used for anemia.

The Salt Spring is used for chronic catarrh of the upper respiratory tract and gout.

The Sophia and Natalia springs are used for kidney and bladder diseases.

How dermatological diseases are treated in Františkovy Lázně

It has been proven that the sulphur-iron peat of Františkovy Lázně is effective in the treatment of eczema and other skin diseases, especially due to its pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Sulphur peat has long been used in the treatment of psoriasis and chronic eczema. The antifungal, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of local peat is effective in the treatment of chronic bacterial and fungal diseases of the female external genitalia. The comprehensive treatment program also includes hydrotherapy in sulphur-containing springs with a pronounced keratolytic effect.

Exercises and other procedures contribute to the restructuring of the body, because, as is known, a significant part of atopic dermatitis, like psoriasis, has a psychological nature. The mild foothill climate also has a positive effect on the general sedation and adaptation of patients with skin diseases.
