Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) therapy is a physiotherapeutic treatment method that involves the exposure of the human body to ultraviolet radiation. For therapeutic and preventive purposes, UVR involves the application of UV rays to specific areas of the body using a specialized device.
The main principle of UVR therapy is that the ultraviolet radiation triggers a number of beneficial reactions in the body:
- Increased synthesis of vitamin D, which helps to normalize metabolic processes, strengthen bone tissue, and improve the immune system's functioning.
- Enhanced blood circulation in the irradiated area, expansion of blood vessels, and improved tissue nutrition.
- Anti-inflammatory effect, reduction of swelling and pain in injuries and inflammatory processes.
- Bactericidal effect, suppression of the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.
UVR therapy is used to treat a wide range of diseases, such as:
- Musculoskeletal disorders (arthrosis, arthritis, osteochondrosis)
- Skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections)
- Rheumatic and neurological diseases
- Cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, atherosclerosis)
- Reduced immunity, frequent colds
The UVR procedure is safe and comfortable for the patient. The radiation dose, duration of the session, and the mode of irradiation are determined by the physician individually, based on the patient's condition and their specific disease.
At the Kuyalnik Sanatorium, UVR therapy is performed under the supervision of qualified specialists, and it allows for significant therapeutic effects and overall improvement of the patients' health.
