Osteoarthritis is a disease characterized by the gradual chronic destruction of the joint, leading to dystrophic changes, joint deformation, and loss of mobility. Coxarthrosis, a type of osteoarthritis, specifically affects the hip joint. The Pirogov Sanatorium, Kuyalnik Resort, effectively treats coxarthrosis and osteoarthritis of other joints using the therapeutic muds and brine from the Kuyalnik estuary.
Prevalence and Significance of the Problem
Osteoarthritis is the third most common disease worldwide, following cardiovascular and oncological diseases. 80% of the world's population is affected by this condition. The high number of searches for "Coxarthrosis treatment Kuyalnik review" highlights the significance of this problem and indirectly underscores the importance of the Kuyalnik Sanatorium in treating osteoarthritis. People over the age of 40 are most commonly affected by various types of osteoarthritis.
Causes of Osteoarthritis and Coxarthrosis
The main causes of osteoarthritis and coxarthrosis:
- Hereditary factors
- Joint injuries
- Heavy physical labor that stresses the joints
- Endocrine system disorders
- Excess weight
Symptoms of Coxarthrosis and Osteoarthritis
Symptoms of coxarthrosis and osteoarthritis may include:
- Joint creaking during movement
- Pain of varying localization and intensity depending on the stage of the disease
- Pain during prolonged physical activity
- Nighttime pain
- Pain with weather changes (weather sensitivity)
- Locking pain: sharp pain caused by the entrapment of a piece of bone or cartilage in the joint cavity
- Initial pain occurring with the first movements after a period of rest
As osteoarthritis progresses, these symptoms intensify. Patients may experience morning stiffness, increased pain, restricted joint movement, joint deformation due to bone tissue growth, and increased creaking. When inflammation occurs, the joint may feel hot to the touch, and the skin over it may become red and swollen.
Treatment of Osteoarthritis and Coxarthrosis at Kuyalnik Resort
For many years, therapeutic muds and brine from the Kuyalnik estuary have been used to treat osteoarthritis. These natural remedies enhance metabolic processes, blood circulation, and tissue nutrition, accelerating bone tissue recovery and increasing its elasticity. As a result, the range of active joint movements increases, and pain decreases.
Procedures for Treating Coxarthrosis and Osteoarthritis
When prescribing procedures for treating osteoarthritis, the stage of the disease, specific symptoms, overall health, and any comorbid conditions are taken into account. Based on these factors, the temperature regime of the mud treatments, as well as the area and application of mud applications, are determined.
The main procedures include:
- Mud Applications: Application of therapeutic muds improves blood circulation and metabolic processes in the joints.
- Brine Baths: Baths with mineral water help reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility.
- Underwater Hydromassage: Helps relax muscles and improve blood circulation.
- Therapeutic Physical Training: A set of exercises to improve joint mobility and strengthen muscles.
- Massage: Improves blood circulation and reduces muscle tension.
These procedures, combined, significantly improve the condition of patients, reduce pain, and enhance joint mobility. Constant monitoring by specialists and an individual approach to each patient ensure high treatment effectiveness and lasting therapeutic results.
