The rheumatology examination is used to diagnose and treat diseases affecting joints, bones, and connective tissues, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia. During the examination, the specialist analyzes symptoms, performs clinical tests and, if necessary, prescribes instrumental tests for a complete evaluation.
Platelet gel infiltrations, also known as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), are treatments that use a platelet concentrate obtained from the patient's own blood. This gel, rich in growth factors, is injected into injured joints, tendons or muscles to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. It is used in conditions such as early osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, tendinopathies, and muscle injuries.
Cortisone infiltrations are injections of corticosteroids directly into joints or soft tissues to reduce inflammation and pain. They are used to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. Although effective in providing symptomatic relief, it is important to limit their use because of potential side effects, such as weakening of tendons and ligaments. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 3-4 infiltrations per year for the same joint.
Hydrokinesis in thermal water is a physical therapy that involves performing physical and motor exercises in a thermal pool. The warm thermal water used in this treatment possesses natural analgesic properties that can help ease muscle and joint pain. In thermal water, users can perform exercises with reduced gravitational load on the joints, minimising movement-related pain. This treatment helps improve muscle flexibility and joint mobility.
The thermal post-mud shoulder massage is a treatment involving the application of thermal mud on the affected part. The heat and therapeutic properties of this substance relieve pain and muscle tension. Indeed, during the treatment, the heat from the mud enables the masseur to more effectively pinpoint and loosen areas of lingering tension or knotty muscles. This treatment also fosters a general sense of well-being by resolving localised discomfort.
Thermal massage is a therapeutic practice that combines traditional massage and heat, usually using hot stones or bags of hot herbs. Thermal massage contributes to a person's comprehensive well-being. It helps relieve muscle and joint pain through applied heat and aids relaxation by rejuvenating the body-mind connection, thereby reducing mental and physical tension. This treatment is recommended for individuals suffering from muscle contractures, arthritis, or chronic pain.
Cave therapy, also known as thermal cave steam bathing, is a therapeutic practice that involves immersing the body in caves or natural environments rich in hot steam and volcanic gases, typically found in geothermal areas. Cave therapy aids muscle relaxation, as the heat and steam help to soothe muscles, relieve muscle tension, and reduce pain associated with conditions like muscle contractures, joint pain, and nerve tension. This natural and tranquil environment in which cave therapy is conducted also enhances the mind-body connection, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Ozone therapy combined with whirlpool massage improves blood circulation, promoting greater blood flow to the treated area. Indeed, this treatment improves tissue oxygenation, reduces muscle tension and speeds up recovery from muscle or joint injuries. The whirlpool component of this treatment also relaxes the body and mind, while ozone therapy enhances these benefits by reducing stress, anxiety, and muscle tension. Ozone therapy reduces pain and inflammation, prevents degeneration and improves circulation.
Total mud with a thermal bath treatment involves applying mineral-rich mud to the entire body for curative purposes. This integrated treatment alleviates muscle and joint pain, thanks to the mud’s mineral and thermal properties. The total mud with thermal bath treatment, covering the entire body surface, also enhances blood circulation due to the heat from the thermal waters. This can help reduce inflammation and aid in recovery from muscle injuries.
To achieve a general muscle-relaxing state, the spa provides a partial arthrorheumatic mud bath and a thermal bath. This treatment effectively reduces muscle and joint pain using mud therapy, which possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Hot baths, integral to this treatment, optimise joint flexibility, facilitating greater ease of movement. Partial arthrorehumatic mud combined with thermal baths significantly improves daily life by alleviating arthrorehumatism, thereby enabling the comfortable performance of everyday activities.
