Treatment of chronic sinusitis in the sanatorium Shakhter (Essentuki)

Chronic sinusitis is a chronic inflammation of the sinuses (paranasal sinuses). The causes of inflammatory processes can be different factors: prolonged rhinitis (runny nose), curvature of the nasal septum, allergies, the focus of infection.

Most often, drug therapy is sufficient for the treatment of chronic sinusitis, but in some cases surgical intervention is resorted to. Drug therapy is reduced to the selection of vasoconstrictors and the use of antibiotics. In this disease, physiotherapy is an effective method. In addition, to achieve optimal results during treatment, it is recommended to stay in warm rooms with high humidity. All these conditions are observed in sanatoriums.

Spa treatment involves not only a competent selection of medicines, but also special physiotherapy procedures, such as magnetotherapy, warming up, diadynamic currents and UHF therapy. It is worth emphasizing that with polypous and cystic sinusitis, physiotherapy is contraindicated. The sanatoriums also offer the necessary climatic conditions and a proper diet, which, in combination with other methods of treatment, make it possible to achieve positive dynamics in the process of recovery.
