The modern world of information technology provides a unique opportunity for everyone to cope with any issue as quickly as possible. The choice of a sanatorium is no exception. If a person develops symptomatic manifestations of serious illnesses, it is best to immediately consult a physician. After the research, a diagnosis is established and treatment is prescribed.

To date, the use of pills, antibiotics and other artificial methods have not had much success in effectively treating diseases. The region's sanatoriums are considered much safer and more effective. Here, thanks to innovative medical equipment and qualified specialists, treatment is carried out using exclusively natural remedies and the latest techniques to combat common diseases.

This is why vouchers to a sanatorium are currently considered one of the most popular for the population. This can be explained by the fact that treatment and prophylactic procedures in modern sanatoriums based on natural remedies ensure the absence of side effects and negative effects on other vital organs and systems in the human body.

Advantages of sanatoriums

Among the main advantages that modern sanatoriums can boast of are the following:

• modern laboratories in which professional diagnostic tests are carried out;
• availability of professional medical personnel;
• creating optimal conditions for stay, which consist of providing not only the latest medical and preventive procedures, but also in the entertainment sector;
• providing healthy, rational and dietary nutrition, which is required to shorten the recovery period of the body after fighting diseases;
• combination of the beneficial effects of the treatment with the positive influence of climatic conditions.

The cost of a trip to the sanatorium varies depending on the list of services provided. Despite this, in most cases the price is associated with additional services. At the same time, therapeutic, preventive and diagnostic practice necessarily remains at the highest level.

• musculoskeletal system;
• respiratory system;
• the cardiovascular system;
• metabolic disorders in the body;
• problems with the genitourinary system.

Treatment in a sanatorium begins with a consultation with an experienced specialist who prescribes the most successful treatment depending on the individual characteristics of the body. The main advantage of sanatoriums is that after a day full of procedures you can have a great rest in entertainment venues.

Features of sanatorium-resort treatment: the whole truth and misconceptions

Hello, dear readers! I have long been meaning to write what features of sanatorium and resort treatment should be taken into account before choosing this type of vacation. And finally I got my hands on it.

In this article I will try to explain in detail all the pros and cons. This will dispel the misconceptions of people who have little idea of ​​the regulations for such a holiday. I’ll tell you how to choose a sanatorium and what documents you need to come there with, I’ll give practical advice on arriving at a sanatorium, based on my experience and personal impressions.

I’ll say right away that I go to the sanatorium regularly, at least once a year (I have certain health problems), and I recommend this type of treatment to everyone suffering from chronic diseases.

This article will be of interest to people who go to a sanatorium primarily for treatment, and consider rest as a pleasant addition.

I think that it will be useful for them to understand in advance the specifics of treatment in sanatoriums, so that later there will be no such conversations:

“I paid a lot of money, but they didn’t cure anything, they fed me boiled food, they prescribed few procedures, although there are a whole bunch of them on the website, I couldn’t get enough sleep, I was tired of such a rest, etc.”

Have you heard such speeches from friends, relatives and acquaintances? I think yes. And people don’t lie, that’s how it happened. However, they are wrong. Why - as you read, you will understand this.

The impetus for writing this article was the example of a close friend of mine who has back problems. Before that, she used the services of a competent chiropractor, but doctors are people too, they can get sick, which is what happened in her case.

A friend, unable to find a suitable replacement, urgently bought a ten-day ticket to a sanatorium and, with the joy of someone who has successfully found a solution to the problem, told me about it. Oh, how I didn’t want to disappoint her, but I had to tell her about the features of the sanatorium and resort treatment.

That’s when I realized that there are people who do not understand the specifics of these institutions. They think something like this: “I’ll come to the sanatorium, undergo a full examination, find the sores and cure them, come back from there and the health problem will disappear.”

However, this is a misconception. And not because the sanatoriums are bad, there is no treatment there, there are no doctors and equipment (this is also a misconception). But because you need to know the features of sanatorium-resort treatment and purchase a voucher, understanding that this is not an emergency hospital and the task of such an institution is completely different.

How to choose a sanatorium?

90% of the success of treatment depends on the right sanatorium. Therefore, take this issue seriously. Moreover, it is not necessary to rely only on living conditions, although this is also important. First of all, pay attention to the profile of the institution and the direction of treatment.

Ideally, the main profile should be your disease, but it is not always possible to find a sanatorium that deals only with a narrow specialization, it is especially difficult when you have a rare disease.

Pay attention to the location of the institution. In some cases this is important. For example, if you suffer from a chronic urological disease, then the best place for treatment is. Because it is there that there are mineral springs that help well with this illness.

The second thing you need to pay attention to is the availability of the specialists you need (I’ll write about this in more detail below) and the necessary medical equipment. A very important point, because the absence of this will lead to ordinary recovery, and not serious treatment.

And only in third place would I put comfort, accommodation, food, etc.

Look for the official website of the sanatorium, read all the information in detail, and do not neglect to call there if you have questions. Try to buy tours directly on the website or book by phone.

Be sure to read the latest reviews, preferably on other resources. In this way, you can find out the features of sanatorium-resort treatment in the specific region you have chosen.

Required documents

Upon arrival at the sanatorium you must present documents

1. Passport
2. A voucher or reservation (sometimes a paid receipt)
3. Medical insurance policy
4. Sanatorium resort card

It is advisable to have an extract from your medical card; in some places they require a certificate for the swimming pool.

This list is basic for all sanatoriums. Be sure to check the list of required documents before your trip (sometimes additional documents are required, and for people on discounted vouchers the list is slightly different, as well as for families with children).

Basic misconceptions of beginners

So that you understand everything and do not take rash steps, I will dispel myths about sanatorium-resort treatment and reveal the whole truth, which is better to know before making a decision about such a trip.

The disease has worsened - I’ll go to a sanatorium

Imagine this situation. A chronic disease has worsened. You run to doctors, take course after course of medications, but it doesn’t get better and the acute condition doesn’t go away. Tired of knocking around the thresholds of different offices, you take the last of your money and buy a ticket to a sanatorium, hoping for rest, daily observation by doctors, consultation and competent treatment.

Unfortunately, this scenario always ends in disappointment. The thing is that the sanatorium does not treat acute diseases; they undergo rehabilitation here when remission occurs.

Simply put, one of the contraindications to treatment in such institutions is precisely diseases at the acute stage of development.

You need to come here in a state of remission. Then you will complete the full course of treatment. And during an exacerbation, the procedures are contraindicated; you can only rest and receive minimal drug treatment.

I will buy a full ticket, everything is included in it

However, if you look closely at the long list, you can see that 10% of them are done only for men or only for women, another 20% are generally accepted by type - climate therapy, health path, drinking therapy, herbal medicine, etc.

Or, for example, everyone sees a massage, but no one pays attention to the fact that 1.5 units is written next to it, this only means a massage of one and a half zones (for example, the neck), and all other zones are no longer included in the price of spa treatment.

I give these examples so that you understand that despite the fact that the list is quite large, especially valuable procedures are not included there, and the doctor usually prescribes not the entire list, but one of the areas (mud therapy, physiotherapy , hydrotherapy, etc.), and you are not always allowed to choose, usually at the discretion of the doctor.

All this is neither bad nor good, you just need to know that in a sanatorium you can really improve your health qualitatively, but you must immediately focus not only on the cost of a sanatorium and resort voucher, but also have funds in the amount of at least 30% of the cost of the voucher for additional paid procedures (hard conclusion based on rich personal experience).

If you accept this fact in advance, then there will be no disappointments regarding the cost of treatment and the number of procedures.

I’ll come and go through all the specialists

Another misconception that can ruin all plans. The fact is that there are almost no sanatoriums in which all specialized specialists work on a permanent basis. As a rule, there are therapists and 2-4 highly specialized doctors. Everyone else goes to work under a contract.

It’s good if they work twice a week for 4 hours, then there is a chance to get to them in a week, there is also an appointment and a queue. And if they come less often, then they will be able to consult only before departure.

To understand how the situation is in the place you have chosen, you need to look on the institution’s website for such headings as “Our employees” or “Sanatorium staff.” Usually there are photographs of the staff, their specializations and working hours are published. From which you can roughly understand how staffed the institution is.

If there is no such data on the official website of the sanatorium, then read the latest reviews or call the sanatorium and talk to one of the doctors.

Don’t forget that the price of the tour includes a maximum of three specialists (including a therapist); the rest will have to be paid for consultation.

I will make a sanatorium and resort map on the spot

Of course, no one wants to stand in line at a local physician, take referrals, take tests, do fluorography and undergo specialist examinations. The practice of free medical institutions now is such that you need to spend more than one day to obtain a sanatorium-resort card.

Buying one is also not an option, because the topic of our article implies that you do not need treatment for show. Therefore, it is not in your interests to go to a sanatorium with drawn up tests and fictitious doctor’s reports.

Based on the above, many people make the mistake of expecting to get a health resort card upon arrival. The point is not that not all sanatoriums have such a service, but that in this case, you will spend at least two days on all the manipulations. After all, there you will also have to collect anamnesis and take tests.

Accordingly, you will lose paid days, because during this time the doctor will not prescribe you any treatment. Plus you will have to pay for a sanatorium and resort card, because such a service is not included in the price of the tour. Perhaps money doesn’t matter to someone, but the lost 2-5 days (sometimes you won’t get to a specialist quickly) should make you think.

Two weeks is enough

I often hear the following words: “They refused to do 10 sessions of procedures and prescribed only 6, although I came for 14 days.” Next comes resentment and complaints about bad attitude. Who is guilty? Definitely not a sanatorium. Surprised? I'll explain now.

The fact is that in all sanatoriums the number of prescribed procedures directly depends on the number of days of the voucher you purchased.

10 pieces of each procedure are offered only if the trip is 18-20 days. If you come for two weeks, then most likely such a course includes 6-7 procedures, for 16-17 days - 7-8 procedures. And it’s not the doctor’s harmful character, it’s just the official regulations, and it’s physically impossible to do more. Below, you will see this.

Six procedures are not enough for a full-fledged spa treatment - a fact. If your goal is treatment, not wellness, then you need to come to the sanatorium for at least 21 days, preferably out of season, fewer people, not delayed staff, no queues. I wrote about this in detail.

There is one more point that confirms these features.

It should be borne in mind that many procedures cannot be combined, so they are prescribed every other day. That is, today you go to mud, and tomorrow to physio, then again to mud, etc. Accordingly, if you need to do ten of each, it will take 20 days, add another day of arrival and departure. How much will it be?

Well, when can you carve out a couple more days for your sanatorium and resort card, I wrote about it above. Don't forget that Sunday falls, most often the medical building is closed. So consider for yourself, I have discovered the real state of affairs.

Usually, all this is written on the official website, but not everyone goes there, or does not read all the information, hence the resentment and disappointment.

I'll finally get some sleep

It’s not at all misleading if your goal is only relaxation and recovery. However, for those who go for treatment, everything is a little different.

As a rule, many procedures are prescribed, they go one after another, start at seven o’clock in the morning, the schedule is so tight that even for breakfast and lunch there is limited time. The rush around the offices ends around three o'clock in the afternoon, and only if there is no evening appointment with a specialist or an ultrasound scan that day.

It becomes a little easier over time after ten days, when the daily procedures have already been done and those that are done every other day remain.

Therefore, get ready for the fact that the first half of your stay at the sanatorium will be very eventful and you will hardly be able to sleep longer in the morning.

But in the second half of your vacation, you will have an excellent opportunity not only to sleep more, but also to devote time to walks and sightseeing, if, of course, you come for 21 days.

How does everything really happen?

We talked about misconceptions and features, if I remember anything else, I’ll definitely add it to the article. Now I’ll try to briefly tell you how everything actually happens. In any case, this was the case in the places I visited (six different sanatoriums). Of course, there are differences everywhere, but they are minor.

You arrive at the sanatorium, register at the reception, where they give you the keys to your room and a food card. Sometimes they immediately tell you which office and what time the doctor will see you. If not, they will inform you later.

Come to the doctor, give your medical documents, they examine you and make prescriptions. It is advisable at this moment to resolve the issue of paid procedures and communicate your preferences. The doctor will immediately add them to the list of appointments and there will be no need to come again.

Then you will go to the head nurse or another employee (sometimes at the reception), give the papers with the appointments and after some time you will be given a book (slider) where your sanatorium-resort treatment is scheduled by day and time for the entire period.

As a rule, this is not the final version. Procedures can be cancelled, replaced or added after tests, new appointments from specialists or at your request, if a certain type of procedure is not suitable (for example, it is poorly tolerated).

However, the changes are made by the attending physician, so you must go to him for this.

Meals take place depending on the schedule (during the allotted hours).

Keep in mind that food at the sanatorium is also part of the sanatorium-resort treatment. The food is strictly balanced according to diets. Nothing fried or smoked. But this is only for the benefit of your body; you can endure it for three weeks.

In the evening there are usually entertainment programs in the spirit of the USSR. Singing to the accordion, discos - for those over 50, performances by local amateur groups, watching films, etc. Please note that some events may require entry fees, so add these costs to your holiday budget.

Conclusions based on my example

After reading the article, you might have formed the feeling: “I’ve never been there, and there’s nothing to do there.” As a person who regularly visits sanatoriums, let me disagree with you and prove the effectiveness of sanatorium-resort treatment using my own example. Believe me, the benefits are enormous. Read my story.

Having an unpleasant chronic disease, I ignored this type of rehabilitation for a long time. Seven years ago, after a long and complex treatment in a hospital, the head of the department told me upon discharge: “You have a chronic disease and in order not to bring your body to such a state, you must undergo sanatorium and resort treatment in Zheleznovodsk once a year. Try Tatyana, I guarantee you will forget about your illness for a long time.”

At that moment, I was so tired of feeling unwell and endlessly taking pills that heal one thing and cripple another, that I took his words seriously. And I was right. Spa treatment really helps me. But subject to regular visits to the resort and strict implementation of all procedures.

If it’s as difficult for you as it once was for me, try it, it definitely won’t make you worse, but you’ll feel the benefits right away. And if treatment in a sanatorium is initially perceived not as relaxation, but as hard work (early getting up, not always pleasant procedures, unusual food, etc.), then there will be no disappointments and grievances, which I wrote about above, reality will be perceived completely differently , with understanding of the situation and humor.

Dear readers! With all my heart I wish you health and long happy years of life!

I wrote practical information for guests planning to go on vacation and treatment to Mineralnye Vody for the first time in an article.

If you have your own experience of visiting a sanatorium, share it with readers, write a story, send it to me, I will definitely publish it in the new section “Readers’ Travels”. Read more about this.

Now I say goodbye to you for a while, see you soon!

Pension – this is the choice of those for whom the main thing is comfortable, unencumbered outdoor space and the opportunity strengthen the general condition of the body: many of them can offer a program of restorative treatment, courses of relaxation or cosmetic SPA procedures. As a rule, they are paid separately and are actually an additional service.

Recreation center – for lovers of active recreation who want relax in the fresh air away from the city, if possible - with friends. They attract a variety of entertainment services: swimming pool, sauna, billiards, ping-pong, bicycles, roller skates, skateboard, badminton, pneumatic shooting range, darts, football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, paintball, playgrounds, board games, in winter - skis, skates, etc... Many people prefer to go to the bases in noisy groups or hold corporate events there.

Russians traditionally like to relax outside the city, on the seashore, on the Caucasian mineral waters or in the Crimea. Nowadays a huge list of placements is offered - this and sanatoriums, and holiday homes, and hotels, and park hotels. But you should know that only where the word “sanatorium” is present in the name, you will be healed, and not just entertained. This name comes from the Latin language - translated “sanare” means “to treat”.

Sanatorium is a medical institution where climate or mineral waters are used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.. The procedures are combined with traditional treatment, physical therapy complex and dietary nutrition. Each sanatorium has its own specialization– intended for the treatment of the circulatory system, metabolic disorders, diseases of the nervous system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system. Recently, specialized comprehensive programs such as “Anti-stress” and “Cleansing the body” have become increasingly popular in sanatoriums. The top 5 such programs include the “Women’s Health” and “Figure Correction” complexes. For health and cosmetic purposes, patients often purchase the Anti-Tobacco and Strengthening the Immune System complexes.

They have a narrower specialization. In Soviet times, this term meant sanatorium-type treatment without interruption from work– at night and in free time. Today, dispensaries have been repurposed and began to function as sanatoriums. Most of them are located within cities and have much more modest accommodation conditions and health programs.

Therapeutic holiday

Staying in a sanatorium provides, first of all, the opportunity to change living conditions. The sanatoriums have modern health centers with swimming pools, saunas, gyms, sports fields, and tennis courts. Sometimes they even offer skiing, horse riding, fishing or hunting.

However, when going to a sanatorium, you should know that during the peak season, which usually occurs in the summer, There are too many people in many health resorts. It is also necessary to pay attention to the list of medical services that are included in the package. It is much more convenient when not only visits to doctors are paid for, but also all procedures. To check in, you need not only a voucher, which is issued when paying for the trip, but also health resort card. It is worth noting the cost-effectiveness of such treatment compared to foreign resorts.

Health resorts of Crimea and Anapa

Since Soviet times, Russia and the CIS have had a huge number of sanatoriums in the most environmentally friendly and picturesque corners. Traditionally popular are the medical sanatoriums of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, Sochi, Crimea, Abkhazia, the resort cities of Anapa and Gelendzhik, central Russia, the Urals and Baikal.

There are over 650 sanatoriums in Crimea. This is a fertile region for patients with bronchopulmonary and vascular diseases, hypertension. In addition, Crimea can boast of a huge wealth of entertainment: there are saunas, dance floors, libraries, and gyms for tourists. Lovers of cultural monuments can visit archaeological sites, famous palaces and castles.

Anapa is one of the few cities with federal resort status. If earlier the city was famous as a children's health resort, today adults enjoy relaxing here. There are dozens of sanatoriums in Anapa, many have 4-5 star certificates. The range of services includes treatment of the musculoskeletal system, skin, nervous and many other diseases. Sanatoriums have their own beaches, swimming pools, parks with exotic plants. Plus, each sanatorium has a unique treatment base, a healing microclimate, mineral water treatment, mud and physiotherapy are offered, and vacationers are provided with food. The territory is protected, in addition to treatment there is a whole entertainment industry: dance floors, bowling clubs, billiard rooms, libraries, hairdressers, gyms.

Sanatoriums in resort towns set prices for their services in such a way that there is an affordable option for everyone - from superior rooms, suites and junior suites to the simplest and most inexpensive, as in principle any sanatorium near Moscow or provincial forest sanatoriums with mineral springs, etc. do. .

The sanatorium is an exclusively Soviet invention; there is no such phenomenon in the West . Now they have been preserved only in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, i.e. where there is strong state influence. Not only have they not lost their healing functions, but they have strengthened them even more! Almost all of them are still departmental, that is, they belong to the state, so there are adequate, qualified personnel and good medical equipment. It is no coincidence that foreigners show great interest in our sanatoriums.

Alas, sometimes travel companies, and sometimes even the sanatoriums themselves, follow our busy schedule, organizing therapeutic holidays on weekends, which does not always reflect well on the quality of services. Because the physiological cycle of the human body is 21 days, and all complete treatment programs must be tied to it. Nevertheless many sanatoriums Now they offer reduced options - 14 days or less. Although leading doctors and balneologists know that when a person arrives at a sanatorium, his illnesses are in a quiescent stage. The goal of treatment is to bring them out through exacerbation and provide intensive therapy. And if a person leaves the health resort before 21 days of stay, then he leaves with an actual exacerbation, therefore, for a period of up to 14 days, one should choose only soothing and stimulating procedures that do not carry a serious therapeutic load. They are also very useful.

In the sanatoriums of the southern zone, which are located near the seashore, it is better to go, oddly enough, far from the season, because the heat is an additional burden on the body. There is also a human factor: the smaller the number of vacationers, the greater the chance of getting the attention of staff, good service and treatment. And finally, prices are lower at this time and tickets are easier. An important point: during the New Year holidays and holidays there is no point in being treated in a sanatorium, because at this time there is simply no proper attention there.

The most valuable thing in life is our ability to work. It helps to preserve them rest in sanatoriums. // doctorpiter.ru, A. Klopotovich, km.ru

This article will help you find out:

A sanatorium is an institution where treatment is combined with physical activity and dietary nutrition. Each sanatorium has its own specialization and characteristics. Each sanatorium has its own specialization - designed to treat the circulatory system, metabolic disorders, diseases of the nervous system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system. Recently, specialized comprehensive programs such as “Antistress” and “Cleansing the Body”, “Women’s Health” and “Mother and Child” have become increasingly popular in sanatoriums.

However, when going to a sanatorium, it is worth knowing that during the peak season, which, as a rule, occurs in the summer, in many health resorts, as they say, there is nowhere for the apple to fall. It is also necessary to pay attention to the list of medical services that are included in the package. It is much more convenient when not only doctors’ visits are paid for, but also all physio- and balneological procedures. To check in, you need not only a voucher, which is issued when paying for the trip, but also a sanatorium-resort card.

How to choose a sanatorium, get a lot of positive emotions from your vacation and improve your health for the year ahead?

There are several types of sanatoriums. In balneological sanatoriums, vacationers are offered treatment based on mineral waters. In mud therapy institutions, patients are exposed to biologically active mud compounds that have a miraculous effect. In climate-oriented sanatoriums, people are given the opportunity to treat their health while enjoying mountain or, for example, sea air. In addition, there are general-purpose sanatoriums where patients are treated using modern medical equipment.

What to look for when choosing a sanatorium?

When choosing a sanatorium, you should pay attention to the climate, as well as the location of the institution. Considering that the human body gets used to a new climatic environment within three to five days, it is more correct to choose an institution located near the place of residence. If the sanatorium is located on the sea coast, it is necessary to pay attention to the distance of the medical buildings from the beach, as well as from residential areas and public transport stops.
It is important to provide not only a high-quality recreational part, but also a cultural one, finding out whether the institution conducts excursions and familiarization with the sights of nearby settlements.

It is worth paying attention to the so-called nuances, including finding out what the daily routine is, whether there are any prohibitions, whether there is Internet on the territory of the sanatorium, whether the telephone always works. It happens that the most insignificant, at first glance, little thing can ruin your vacation, turning even the best quality treatment into harm.
