Treatment of arthritis of the joints in the Kazakhstan Sanatorium
The goal of the joint arthritis treatment program in the Sanatorium is to prevent complications, slow down destructive processes, and reduce pain and stiffness. An integrated approach to treatment provides a noticeable improvement in overall well-being, prolongation of the period of remission of chronic diseases and strengthening of the immune system.
Types of Arthritis
Arthritis is a joint disease that affects the synovium, joint capsule and cartilage. There are two main types of arthritis: degenerative and inflammatory. Treatment is selected depending on the type of disease, so a correct diagnosis is very important.
Psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory type of disease. Symptoms include: pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, and increased temperature in the affected joints. Fingers with psoriasis can become very swollen, acquire a purplish-bluish tint, and heels can become very painful when walking.
Treatment for psoriatic arthritis is aimed at relieving inflammation and pain. Doctors usually select drug therapy that works well to control the symptoms. But to consolidate the result, it is necessary to undergo sanatorium-resort treatment annually. This is the only way to stop the progression of the disease, destruction of bone tissue and loss of joint function.
At the Sanatorium, psoriatic arthritis is treated using safe and effective methods. The unique properties of natural factors, modern physiotherapy and an individual approach to each patient make it possible to achieve a lasting improvement in well-being, get rid of unpleasant symptoms and prevent the development of severe complications, including complete loss of joint function, disability, damage to the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic autoimmune disease of the connective tissue of the joints leads to the development of erosive arthritis and systemic damage to internal organs. Rheumatoid arthritis causes pain and aches in the joints, stiffness, and swelling in the affected area.
Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is also aimed at relieving inflammation and pain. A complete cure for this disease is not yet possible, but it can be controlled by promptly consulting a doctor and following all the specialist’s instructions. This applies not only to taking medications but also to more gentle and safe methods.
For example, in the Sanatorium, treatment for rheumatoid arthritis necessarily includes therapeutic exercises. Exercise therapy trains muscles and joints, restores mobility, improves blood flow and tissue nutrition. It is important to take into account that for any type of arthritis, it is impossible to abuse physical activity, therefore, in the Kazakhstan Sanatorium classes are conducted under the supervision of an instructor.
In our health resort, when treating rheumatoid arthritis special attention is also paid to the prevention of complications: heart and lung diseases, chronic renal failure, peripheral neuropathy, lymphadenopathy and others.
Gouty arthritis
The degenerative type of the disease is observed in gout. The cause of this arthritis is a violation of purine metabolism. The disease often manifests itself as severe pain in the joint, swelling and redness. Later, small superficial and larger subcutaneous nodules appear.
Treatment for gouty arthritis involves reducing uric acid in the body, diet, medications and physical therapy. In the sanatorium, during the period of remission, the doctor may prescribe electrophoresis, magnet and laser therapy.
