Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the sanatorium Staraya Russa

Since chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is incurable, therapy is aimed at reducing the frequency of exacerbations. First of all, medication helps to cope with exacerbations. Sputum thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed. Sometimes it is recommended to take medications for the cardiovascular system, in order to avoid complications. In the absence of exacerbations, doctors recommend sanatorium treatment.

Sanatorium programs offer a set of measures to prolong the period of remission (the period of absence of exacerbations). Methods of prevention treatment are: electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, ultrasound, chest massage, laser and aerotherapy. In combination with proper nutrition, a normalized daily routine, moderate physical exertion, treatment can significantly improve the quality of life of the patient.
