To reduce joint pain and stiffness, you should also turn to a medical treatment method. Staying in health resorts is an effective method of combating various types of arthritis.
Therapy in the sanatorium is based on special physiotherapy procedures (electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, UV irradiation), in addition, the patient is under constant supervision of doctors and receives medical treatment. A proper, balanced diet helps not only to cope with the disease, but also, in general, to improve the condition of the body.

Treatment results
The disease is accompanied by severe pain, therefore, the first results that our patients notice are a significant decrease in it. Comprehensive measures (splinting on the affected area, medications, mud therapy), allow to accelerate cell regeneration.
Consequences of lack of treatment
The neglected disease can develop into rheumatoid arthritis, with significant joint deformity. After that, the remaining joints are affected, which is called rheumatoid polyarthritis, leading to disability of the patient.
