Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev's disease) at the Ust-Kachka resort-sanatorium

An effective method of treating this disease is considered to be sanatorium treatment, which provides a set of necessary procedures. For the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, medication is used on an outpatient basis (anti-inflammatory drugs, hormones, medications that reduce muscle tension, improve blood circulation). The Ust-Kachka resort offers complex therapy of the disease, including medication and general restorative procedures: physiotherapy, manual therapy, therapeutic gymnastics.

Physiotherapy procedures include ultrasound, electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, acupuncture, involve the use of hydrogen sulfide iodine-bromine baths, mud applications. No less effective method of combating Bekhterev's disease is physical therapy, swimming, skiing, training on medical simulators, Nordic walking.

Spa treatment contributes to the achievement of positive results. Specialists of our resort will prescribe kinesiotherapy aimed at activating motor function. It is important to carry out it systematically – 1-2 times a day for 30 minutes, only then will improvements occur.

Consequences of lack of treatment

It is important to remember that the consequences of this progressive disease are very tragic. In the absence of proper treatment, the risk of complete immobility increases, as well as the risk of deformation of other parts of the skeleton. Gradually, inflammation is formed in the large joints and spine. Therefore, it is very important to receive regular spa treatment to prevent exacerbations and complications of the disease.
