Polyarthritis
- Elisabeth Zimmer
In the Gastein healing cave I have found something that I have sought for years – a therapy that frees me in a natural way of the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
Through an inflammatory attack on many or several joints, chronic polyarthritis can lead to severe chronic pain and progressive disturbance of the joints, with instability on the one hand, and stiffening on the other. The quality of life is massively restricted. Permanent medicinal therapy is often unavoidable and in some cases attended by the respective risks.
Through the use of the radon thermal treatment, it has been proved that long-lasting pain alleviation with the saving of pain killers is achieved. The body’s own power to inhibit inflammation and foster immunity regulation is activated to a provable degree (on the cytokine level). Joint control and mobility are improved through this exercise therapy based on pain alleviation. The rape seed exercises decrease swelling through a micro-massage of the hands in a way similar to lymph drainage, with simultaneous joint protection in practice. The latter is deepened through ergotherapeutic instructions. The medical nutrition consultation shows further, alternative ways to inhibit inflammation and to prevent osteoporosis.
A higher proportion of the radon-bath therapy is recommended for a somewhat weaker constitution. With good constitution, and an acute joint attack, however, the Gastein healing cave therapy is recommended (an acute attack with high inflammation activity requires great precaution in respect of heat therapy).
