CLASSIC KARLOVY VARY INDICATIONSSince several centuries, the spa traditions of Karlovy Vary have its basis in the indication of natural medicinal resour-ces. Classic Karlovy Vary procedures were derived from the positive effects of thermal mineral water. Until the 16th century, this mineral water was used only for baths. Later it found its place also in drinking cures. Due to its com-position the thermal mineral water is very useful to improve the treatment of certain diseases. Karlovy Vary speci-alizes in treating diseases of the digestive system and metabolic disorders using drinking cures. Traditional tre-atments besides drinking cures also include a individually tailored diet, balneology and physiotherapy methods, as well as physical activity, especially walking. Some methods have been used successfully for centuries. Besides the classic indications, Karlovy Vary also offers treatments to musculoskeletal diseases and allergic airway disease.

THE IDEAL LENGTH OF SPA TREATMENTImproving the health status is not a spontaneous process. During treatment of diseases of the digestive system, locomotor system and metabolic disorders, the whole organism is influenced. Treatment also affects the mechani-sm of adaptation and the autonomic nervous system. Rest from mental stress and a beneficial effect on the body are just some of the consequences of treatment. Changing the environment, a drinking cure, diet, various forms of spa treatments and exercise usually lead to an expected improvement in the health status not sooner than after 3-4 weeks. Health problems then subside and the positive effect of spa treatment stays longer. If the patient deci-des to repeat the spa treatment in Karlovy Vary, the adaptation period is shorter and the effect of spa treatment increases. The final outcome of treatment is therefore dependent on the length of stay.

GASTROENTEROLOGICAL DISEASESThe main diseases to be treated in Karlovy Vary, include diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, namely the stomach, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, intestines, and metabolic disorders. The chemical composition of the thermal mineral water has a beneficial effect on functio-nal or pathological disorders. Drinking thermal mineral water at specific temperatures, in recommended intervals and amount helps the body back to balance. Mineral water of high temperatures helps to neutralize the stomach contents, stimulates the gallbladder and bile ducts and promotes secretion of the pancreas. Colder mineral water has with a high consumption (400 ml) positive effects on patients suffering from constipation. It improves peristalsis and eliminates bloating. Patients suffering from liver disease should drink a small amount of water to improve the function of liver cells. Spa treatment is also suitable after operations of the digestive tract. Treatment shortens postoperative pro-blems and reduces the amount of drugs, which the patient has to take. Patients suffering from chronic diseases should be treated at a time when these problems are acute. A cour-se of treatment lasting at least three weeks may enhance good therapeutic effects.

MUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASESDiseases of the musculoskeletal system, particularly painful syndromes of the spine and joints, are also often treated in Karlovy Vary. Heavy workload, lack of physical activity and many other factors are responsible for musculoskeletal diseases in patients of all ages. We use many healing methods that can be applied. Above all, we work with the use of anal-gesic, antispasmodic and vasodilating effects. But the most important thing is to correct bad movement stereotypes and strengthen the flabby muscle groups. We use baths and peloids (compresses or wraps), the application of medicinal CO2 gas to painful spots, indi-vidual or group exercise, swimming, various kinds of massages and electrotherapy. The aim is to remove the blockades, to improve mobility and, if possible, habituation to regu-lar daily exercise.

DRINKING CURE Karlovy Vary has 13 mineral springs, all of which can be used for drinking cures. Temperatures range be-tween 30 and 72 °C and the water chemistry differs only by the ratio of free CO2 (carbon dioxide). Usage of this water during treatment is entirely individual. The doctor decides and suggests using it after examinati-on of the patient. Generally, cold springs are suitable to accelerate peristalsis. The interval between drinking cold mineral water and meals should be longer than with hot mineral water. Hot mineral water has a cal-ming effect and patients should drink it just before a meal. Usually the amount should be from 200 to 400 ml of thermal mineral water, three times per day, 30 minutes before the next meal. Water should be drunk while walking slowly. A properly prescribed drinking cure is one of the main parts of a complex spa tre-atment. Another part of the treatment is walking. After examination of the physical condition of the patients, the doctor will decide the length and degree of difficulty of walks. Numerous gazebos and paths in forests show that visitors of Karlovy Vary have always appreciated this part of the spa treatment. Routes in the woods often bear the names of famous visitors to the city. Incidentally, in the lobby of the hotel is a fountain with water from the spring No.1 (Hot Spring), which is available to all guests for their drinking cure.

HEALTHY ALIMENTATION AT THE GRAND BUFFET SORRENTOThe restaurant offers a wide selection of international and Czech cuisine, we place great emphasis on the selection of quality foods and their appropriate treatment.

SPA TREATMENTSpa treatment of patients with diabetic disease has a long tradition in Karlovy Vary. It is mainly focused on the prevention and treatment of risk factors, particularly hypertension,

arteriosclerosis and obesity. The program at the hotel spa also includes health education for newly diagnosed patients. Diet food, drinking cure, medical treatment and a lot of

movement in combination with intensive rehabilitation and education are part of the treatment of patients with diabetic disease. Rehabilitation improves physical fitness and thus

minimizes complications caused by diabetes. Exercise and movement can lead to weight loss and are thus preventing vascular and nerve complications.

Balneotherapy includes baths containing carbon dioxide, alternative gaseous baths of limbs in carbon dioxide and swimming. To treat painful joints and vascular disorders we use

methods of electrotherapy treatments, gas injections, mud baths and mud wraps.

INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT AT THE UNIQUE MEDICAL SPA SUITESWe are introducing a unique concept of treatment in Karlovy Vary, only at the Carlsbad Plaza – the treatment program All-inclusive Medical Spa Suites. To provide these services we have built new facilities, which meet the highest standards of care for spa clients while offering luxury, comfort and tranquility needed to relax.The Spa Suites consist of several rooms, each Spa Suite totaling an area of approximately 50 m2, with its own bathroom, a room with a multifunctional bath for all types of baths, a ma-ssage area, a relaxation area with deck chairs and a television. The Medical Spa Suites offer (with little exceptions) all kinds of treatments for clients accommodated in two-room apartments (i.e. from the Carlsbad Suite up to the Presidential Suite), at their reserved time. Any third person staying in the apartment (treatment program FBT / HBT extra bed) is treated in the Medical Spa Gallery.

The Carlsbad Plaza still preserves the traditional spa treatments at the Medical Spa Gallery (for clients in single, double rooms and junior suites), which, thanks to the opening of the new Medical Spa Suites offers its guests a more peaceful environment and a more flexible appro-ach, even in the busiest periods.

THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF TREATMENT IN THE MEDICAL SPA SUITES:• All treatments are provided in one place and guests no longer need to go from one treatment room to the next.• All treatments are provided in one time slot at the same time every day.• All treatments are provided by the same staff.• Patients are provided maximum individual care.• Clients have maximum privacy during treatments.• The number of treatments provided is limited only by the time spent in the Spa Suite and the health

of the patient; all procedures within the 2.5 hour treatment are included.• This concept of treatment provides our guests the opportunity to plan further activities in Karlovy Vary and its

surroundings, thanks to the unification of time in which the procedures are provided to two guests accommo-dated in a suite. Treatments in the Spa Suites are available daily from Monday to Friday offering 2.5 hour intervals for both clients at the same time.

All this, so we can offer our guests the most if their treatment in a pleasant atmosphere.

MEDICAL SPA GALLERYClinical spa care is provided not only in the new premises called Spa Suites, but also in the Medical Spa Gallery. The spa reception, Doctors offices and the treatment rooms in which medical treatments are provided, are situated in a two-story treatment section. Staff will help in planning the optimal treatment program, based on the advice of your doctors. The spa reception organizes and plans the time of your procedures. At the Spa reception you can also buy swimsuits, bathing caps and various toiletries.

THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC PROCESSAny guest, whose stay includes treatment, has been told upon arrival the date and ti-me of his medical examination, which is usually scheduled for the second day after arrival. Just before the first medical examination, the spa reception provides the pati-ent with a medical card and introduces them to the clinic, where not only the doctor’s offices are located. After examination, the patient returns to the spa reception where the receptionist prepares an individual plan of procedures according to the medical recommendation of the doctor. The treatment program (i.e. an overview of tre-atments) is the official document, according to which the personnel of the division provides spa treatments. The plan can be changed if necessary. If the patient arrives to a treatment more than 3 minutes late, it qualifies for the procedure to be irrevocably forfeited. Part of the completion of treatment is a final medical examination. For the therapy to achieve its best results, we recommend that patients follow the doctor’s suggestion about restrictions on smoking and drinking alcohol during their stay.The process of the therapy is controlled and monitored by a doctor. The approach to patients is always individual. After the initial physical examination, the patient's doctor prescribes medical treatments, a drinking cure, physical activity and reco-mmends dietary needs. If necessary, the doctor may recommend an examination by a specialized doctor at the Carlsbad Clinic. The patient's condition is under supervi-sion during the entire stay.

BLOOD TESTSBlood composition and relative proportions of the components are important indicators of a functional and healthy status of the organism.

ECG ECG is an undemanding and primarily painless examination, enabling the physician an overview of the electrical activity of your heart. Every contraction of the heart muscle is accompanied by a low voltage, which spreads to the surface of your body where the ECG device can scan it.

BLOOD SUGAR MONITORINGEvery diabetic should have his blood sugar levels measured regularly. Based on the results the doctor is able to respond to the current condition of the patient in a much better way and adjust their diet.

BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTBlood pressure measurements are inseparable to a basic medical examination. Blood pressure is measured not only in patients with acute difficulties, but it is also important to prevent any future health problems.

THERMOTHERAPYThe application of heat results in vasodilatation (enlargement of the lumen of blood vessels), there-by improving blood flow. Generally, in heated tissue the intensity of the metabolism increases and thus the intensity of ongoing immune responses. The heat supply improves ongoing inflammatory processes, acting against pain and cramps.

MUD WRAPSA heat therapy, associated with the transmission of large amounts of organic and mineral substan-ces to the body. Mud wraps are anti-inflammatory, regenerative; they increase blood circulation in the tissues, reduce pain and cramps, muscle tension, have a beneficial effect on bones and joints and also have a cosmetic effect.

PARAFFINLocalized heat therapy with a relaxant effect, releasing pain and increased muscle tension. It is applied as paraffin wraps directly to painful areas and locations on the back, joints of hands and feet suffering from arthrosis and other diseases. Paraffin wax is applied at a temperature of 50-60 °C in the form of paraffin carriers. Paraffin is suitable also to be applied before rehabilitation pro-cedures, soft techniques and exercise.

ELECTROTHERAPYCurrently interferential therapy, diadynamic and Träbert currents are used the most. According to the frequency used, the effect is more or less analgesic, anti-inflammatory, against swelling and evokes relaxation. It also positively affects the circulation of blood. This therapy is used to treat chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system - the spine, joints and muscles, as well as migraines and neural-gia. The latest methods in physiotherapy are magnet therapy and magnetic field therapy, which have significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, improve blood circulation and thereby accelerate the processes of healing after injuries.

DISTANCE ELECTROTHERAPYA relatively new form of contactless electrotherapy, which uses the effects of magnet thera-py or phototherapy. Light and magnetic fields operate in the depth of tissue through electro-magnetic induction and its effects promote accelerated healing of problematic areas.Effects: analgesic, vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant, improves healing proce-sses in soft tissues

SHORT WAVE DIATHERMYHigh-frequency currents cause heating of tissue and relaxation of muscle spasms. Therefore diathermy is used against inflammation, particularly chronic or acute physical difficulties, and also for warming of the internal organs.

BIO LIGHT THERAPYThe modern bio light therapy can cure a wide range of problems from joint problems, skin diseases to other disease of civilization. Thanks to modern technology it can now, in comparison to the past, much more effectively treat joint diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, tennis elbow or various inflammations, for example of the tendons and joints.

UNDERWATER MASSAGE The underwater massage is one of the most popular methods of hydrotherapy. It is one of the few massages at which there is no direct contact between the masseur and the patient. During the massage the water has a tem-perature between 34-37 °C. The temperature and kinetic energy of the water flow is very important. The patient is bathed in pleasantly warm water and a massage therapist performs a massage thorough a stream of water on one body part at the time. The underwater massage, as well as other hydrotherapy treatments should be followed by relaxation. The main indications are diseases of the locomotor system, rheumatic diseases, post-traumatic conditions or neurological diseases.

An experienced masseur uses a series of touches such as kne-ading, rubbing and gentle beating. The classic massage has a local effect (warming up, changes of skin), as well as general effects. If the masseur can create the right atmosphere, the client will feel a very intense effect of relaxation, warmth followed by the subsiding of any pain. That is why classic massages are the most common treatment of musculoske-letal disorders, rheumatic diseases, post-traumatic conditions and neurological diseases.

ULTRASOUND INHALATION WITH HERBAL EXTRACTTreatment in Karlovy Vary does not only focuses on diseases of the digestive system, but also on re-peated inflammation of the upper and lower airways and allergic reactions in the airways. The local climate has a very positive effect on the body and allows healing through inhalation of natural re-sources.
