In the carbonic bath, the skin resorbs about 30ml of carbon dioxide per minute. This occurs through a simple diffusion from an environment with a higher concentration of carbon dioxide (i.e., the carbonic bath) to an environment possessing a lower concentration (i.e., the patient‘s body). The indifferent temperature of a carbonic bath is 33-34 centigrades.

Under-water massage:
is used as medical massage. It is applied to the entire body or its part, using a stream of water directed through jets, or a massage hose with a jet ending. This type of massage utilises both mechanical and thermal impacts. Water temperature of both the bath and the stream produces reactive diathermy in the muscles. Neural and metabolic influences occur. It is used to treat difficult blood circulation in extremities (caused by ischialgy), spastic and atonic paralyses, and obesity.

Floatation baths:
are used mainly to bring more blood to upper and lower extremities (for ischaemia). The bath‘s floating effect is suitable for treating post-traumatic states, inflammation, disorders of neural supply. It can also be used during recuperation following excessive strain on the body. Water temperature is 37 centigrades.

Scottish“ streams:
are an application of streams of water directed appropriately onto the patient‘s body. The medical effect of the stream has to do with mechanical massage but also with the possibility to switch intermittently between the effects of cold and hot water on body surface, producing irritation as well as increasing blood circulation. It also impacts the muscles and, reflectorily, the central nervous system, thus rejuvenating the body.

Tread-bath:
is about alternating warm and cold water on lower limbs. It is used to treat ischaemic disorders of the lower limbs, migraines, and tired feet.


GAS INJECTIONS:
Application of subdermal injections with spring gas represent another type of carbonic therapy. These injections are applied on a daily basis. The effect of carbon dioxide is used, as well as the reflective impact on organs of the skin and subcutis. They are applied to the subclavian and suprascapular areas, and also to the deltoid of the left shoulder. Their therapeutic use is possible in treating ischaemic disorders of lower limbs, ischaemic cardiac disorders and vertebrogenic difficulties.


VACUUM PRESS:
Vacuum press is an instrument for treating peripheral dysfunctions of blood circulation in upper and lower limbs. Its design allows not only for air and oxygen treatment but also for treatment using spring gas. Thanks to this it is capable to treat the following:

Vacuum press is made up of a hollow cylinder that utilises vacuum/excessive pressure of oxygen, air, or spring gas for therapeutic purposes
ELECTROTHERAPY PROCEDURES:
Electrotherapy procedures are an important factor in affecting tissue metabolism and supporting the remedy of the body organs‘ affected function. Electrotherapy utilises three kinds of current: galvanic current, impulse current, and high-frequency current. The medical effect of light also comes into play. Medical practices include: hydrogalvanism, iontophoresis, diadynamic currents, ultrasound, short-wave diathermy, pamatrone, ionomodulator, diatron, and sunlamps.

OTHER MEDICAL PROCEDURES:
Other medical procedures include inhalations, paraffin baths, and traditional massage. Individual rehabilitation may also include reflective massage.Inhalation treatment is an important part not only of the treatment but also of prevention. It has a medical effect on the respiratory tract that may be suffering from toxic substances, allergens and microorganisms that are present in the air.

Paraffin baths:
are applied to patients suffering from disorders of the motorial system which are of an inflammatory, degenerative, or traumatic origin. The temperature of paraffin is about 60-70 centigrades. Local application of heat is used for painkilling. The heat also temporarily reduces abnormal states of muscular activity. The relaxing effect of heat on striated muscles is used to treat neurogenically induced muscular contractions and contractures caused by a joint blockade or algic stimuli.

Traditional massage:
aims to improve the overall state of health, alleviate difficulties and changes produced by a disorder, trauma, or exhaustion. It helps strengthen health and improve overall resistance. Locally the massage impacts the skin, the circulatory and lymphatic systems, joint capsules, tendons and peripheral nerves. Supply of nutrients is also improved, and so is blood circulation in muscles and their performance.


REMEDIAL GYMNASTICS:
Comprehensive balneotherapy also includes remedial gymnastics aimed at boosting the treatment of specific cardiovascular disorders.
