Physiotherapy treatments in gastroenterology – Lyekarstvyennyi electrophoresis – Galvanization – Electrosleep – Inductothermy – The electric field of ultrahigh frequency (UHF) – Mud therapy

Lyekarstvyennyi electrophoresis - Treatment, wherein the organism is administered by various current drugs. Using the techniques of electrophoresis can avoid the side effects of medicines and simultaneously influence the pathologic nidus using DC.

The advantage of the method of electrophoresis pre-medication is inside, drugs that act on the background of changes in electric shock reactivity of the organism, increasing the efficiency of the method.

In gastroenterology the most frequently used for iontophoresis solutions novocaine, magnesium sulfate, papaverine, diʙazola, platifillina etc..

Galvanization - A permanent continuous application of low voltage electric current for therapeutic purposes. Physico-chemical changes in biological tissues underlying the primary effect of galvanizing the body. They lie in the change of the ratio of ions in the tissues. Under the influence of the current the ions move along the path of least resistance - through the blood and lymph vessels, nerve sheath, muscle. In the tissues under the influence of changes in the ion motion change (enhanced) blood circulation, breathing, metabolism. Thus, galvanic current is a stimulator of biological and physiological functions.

Electrosleep - A method of electrotherapy, which uses a pulse current of low frequency 1 to 150 Hz with a very short duration pulses (0,3-2 Ms), a small force (to 10 mA), acting on the central nervous system. Electro has on the body soft, calming effect and is indicated for diseases of the digestive system, in particular, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, emerged on the background of increased reactivity of the central and autonomic nervous system.

Inductothermy - Treatment, in which the tissues of the body to an alternating high-frequency or ultrahigh-frequency magnetic field. In the tissues, highly conductive electrical current, are produced eddy currents, leading to the formation of heat. The greatest amount of heat is produced in body fluids (Electrolytes) - Blood, lymph and tissues to their high content of - kidney, light, liver, spleen. Under the influence of enhanced blood inductothermy- and lymph, increases metabolism, decreases the excitability of the nervous system, that underlies the anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic action of this factor. With inductothermy can raise the temperature of the skin and surrounding tissues to 4-6 ° C. Since heat is a factor inductothermy, It is indicated in chronic gastritis with low gastric secretory function, diseases of the liver and biliary tract.

The electric field of ultrahigh frequency (UHF). The basis of this method is the impact on the patient's ultra-high frequency electric field. A feature of the method is the non-thermal, physical and chemical action. There are thermal dose UHF, in which the patient feels the heat, slabotermicheskie - with a weak sense of heat and non-thermal - without feeling the heat. In the treatment of diseases of the digestive system is used loosely- and non-thermal dose UHF. Under the influence of UHF is expanding deep-seated vessels, increased blood- and lymph. UHF has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic, desensitizing effect, enhanced tissue regeneration, improved immunologic reactivity. In diseases of the stomach pulsed electric field UHF is an effective physiotherapy impacts. Method of UHF well tolerated, It does not cause adverse reactions, It gives a good therapeutic effect and long-term remission of the disease.

In addition to these physical therapy techniques in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system applied mud, peat, ozokeritovye, paraffin bath, Mineral soul, baths, physiotherapy.

Mud therapy It is also one of the most effective factors in the treatment of digestive diseases. When this technique uses natural mud. Therapeutic mud formed on the bottom of fresh and salt water bodies under the influence of complex geological and biological processes and consist of a mud solution (liquid phase) and crystalline skeleton (solid phase). The liquid phase consists of water and dissolved salts. Mud solution is characterized by high carbonate alkalinity, the presence of significant amounts of hydrosulfide ion, dissolved gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and the like.). It accumulates various chemicals, including antibiotics. Crystal skeleton is composed of two parts: kalytsievo-magnievogo skeleton (gypsum, carbonate and calcium phosphate) and clay core - colloidal complex (iron, Aluminium in various forms, silicic acid, minute particles of clay and organic matter, formed by the decomposition products of plant and animal origin). Colloidal complex causes the consistency and the basic physical properties of the mud.

When the treatment is mainly used thermal effect of therapeutic muds, as well as the therapeutic effect, due to their physical, chemical and biological properties. Upon application of therapeutic mud on the skin under the influence of heat is an increase in skin temperature, vasorelaxation, penetration into the body of chemical elements and their distribution in organs and tissues. Under the influence of therapeutic mud is formed in the skin of biologically active substances such as histamine and acetylcholine. Therapeutic mud has anti-inflammatory, desensitizing, immunoregulatory effect on the body as a whole and has a positive effect on the altered function of the digestive system in particular. So, We have a one-time procedure, and especially the treatment helps to normalize motor function and bioelectrical activity of the stomach, reduced activity stimulates the gastric glands, improves microcirculation and trophism of the digestive system.

For the treatment of patients with diseases of the digestive system are used mud resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, how Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk, Pyatigorsk, as well as Mirgoroda, Morshyn and others.

The criteria for the effectiveness of the physical therapy, Mud treatment, mineral water is a clinical and endoscopic remission with the disappearance of the symptoms of the disease exacerbation, absence of signs of inflammation and the subsequent endoscopic ultrasound of the digestive system.
