CrimeaPRESS reports:

In our frantic pace of life, many of us treat vacations as the only opportunity to simply sleep off. Well, for some, of course, this is a time for entertainment on the principle of “having a blast.” Meanwhile, say experts who understand how to “squeeze” the maximum out of a vacation, the two vacation options mentioned above have nothing in common with this very vacation. And they give advice: if you want to benefit both your soul and body, and “unload your brain,” go to a sanatorium! Fortunately, there are not a dozen resorts with recovery and treatment programs on Russian territory. From this variety you can choose five-star sanatoriumand the place of stay is simpler.

What resorts in Russia specialize in sanatorium treatment? Let’s list the most popular ones:

Sochi, Krasnodar region: there are many sanatoriums and spa centers with various treatment programs. Main specialization: treatment of diseases of the respiratory system and musculoskeletal system.
Pyatigorsk, Stavropol Territory: known for its mineral waters and sanatoriums specializing in the treatment of diseases of the digestive system, nervous system and musculoskeletal system.
Essentuki, Stavropol Territory: another resort with medicinal mineral waters and sanatoriums offering treatment for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, gall bladder and other organs.
Kislovodsk, Stavropol Territory: Also known for its mineral waters and sanatoriums specializing in the treatment of diseases of the digestive and genitourinary systems, as well as nervous diseases.

Let us emphasize here that sanatoriums almost always have specialization depending on the type of disease for which treatment is provided. Moreover, the direction is based both on healing resources (mineral water springs, mud, climatic conditions, etc.) and on staff with certain medical knowledge and skills.

When choosing a sanatorium for treatment, experts emphasize, it is important to take into account not only its specialization, but also the quality of medical care, the availability of necessary medical procedures and living conditions.

Treatment in sanatoriums = preservation of health?

This is a common belief. Meanwhile, it is very justified. According to experts, staying in a sanatorium is subject to the rules, adherence to all requirements and rules associated with treatment programs! — is guaranteed to contribute to both maintaining and improving health in many cases. Because:

Many resorts offer disease prevention and wellness programs that include not only medical procedures, but also exercise, nutrition, and other healthy habits. Which, of course, helps strengthen the body.
sanatoriums usually offer a wide range of therapeutic procedures, such as mud therapy, mineral baths, physiotherapy, massage and other methods that can help treat various diseases or alleviate symptoms.
In addition to treatment, staying in a sanatorium is associated with rest and relaxation. The absence of a stressful environment, a favorable natural environment and the opportunity to engage in physical activity, as a rule, have a positive effect on a person’s psycho-emotional state, which, of course, contributes to his overall health.

But! It is important to note that the effectiveness of treatment in sanatoriums may depend on many factors, such as the individual needs of the patient, the nature of the disease, the quality of medical care and discipline in following doctors’ recommendations.

How to choose a sanatorium

The choice of a sanatorium depends on many factors. And, at a minimum, it is worth considering the following aspects:

choose a sanatorium that specializes in treating the disease or condition in accordance with your diagnosis.
research the reputation of the chosen sanatorium. Make sure that doctors and medical staff have the appropriate licenses and experience!
evaluate the living conditions, food and additional services provided at the sanatorium. This includes the level of comfort of the rooms, the variety of diets, and the availability of sports and entertainment opportunities.
read reviews from visitors to the sanatorium and ask for recommendations from friends or doctors. This will help you get an idea of the actual experience of staying at the resort.

Please note that sanatorium treatment is offered for both adults and children. There are specialized sanatoriums that provide treatment programs and services for different age categories or specialize in working with a particular age group.

And this point is worth considering: if you want to relax in a calm environment, then you should choose a medical institution aimed at adults. If you intend to spend a vacation with children, then a sanatorium with a pediatric focus is your choice. Such institutions, as a rule, have not only a medical base aimed at working with children. They also have infrastructure, thanks to which a stay in a sanatorium will be not only useful for children, but also interesting.

Optimal length of stay in the sanatorium

The optimal length of stay in a sanatorium may depend on the purpose of the visit, health status and doctor’s recommendations. In general, the recommended period of stay in a sanatorium can vary from several days to several weeks. Namely:

if there is a specific disease or condition that requires treatment, then the optimal length of stay in the sanatorium can be calculated based on the recommendations of the doctor or specialist who is treating you. And most often we are talking about more or less long periods. Standard — 21 days.
For preventive and wellness programs, a stay in a sanatorium of one to two weeks is recommended to allow the body to fully “reboot.”
if the purpose of a visit to a sanatorium is to relax and recover from stress and fatigue, then the duration of stay can be reduced to several days. Even a short break can have a positive impact on your overall well-being. The same effect of “switching” from one area of activity to another will work.

It is important to take into account the individual needs and characteristics of each person when choosing the optimal length of stay in a sanatorium. Before traveling, it is recommended that you discuss your plans with a doctor or specialist to receive recommendations that are appropriate for your health and goals. So, for example, a vacation in a certain season or in certain climatic conditions can work to your advantage or, on the contrary, not bring the desired results.
