Medical & Spa Treatment
World-famous Spa Piešťany owes its reputation mainly to the remarkable natural springs, the unique healing potential of which has been verified by hundreds of generations, both in the distant as well as in recent past. After all the „crutch breaker“ himself, the famous symbol of Piešťany spa, is a very accurate expression of the healing nature of the Piešťany's natural phenomenon. The real idea behind the crutch breaker is not exaggerated at all, because crutch is something, which becomes for many of our patients after the treatment redundant. This was the case in the past and it is the same nowadays, and we will do our best that this remains to be true also in the future
Natural healing sources
The unique healing sources are the reason why people come to Piešťany since older times, and this was also the reason why the spa were created here. The healing effects of the local thermal mineral water and sulphur mud were first described by physicians in the 14th century.
Thermal mineral sulphur water
Thermal mineral water in spa Piešťany has a high content of minerals (1500 mg per litre). The water also contains hydrogen sulphide and other free gases. It springs from tectonics faults at a depth about 2000 metres. The water temperature of the springs is 67 to 69°C. Output is around 3 millions litres daily
Sulphur mud
Sulphur mud is a unique peloid both in the European as well as world-wide scale. Its base is a homogenised sediment precipitating in the river Váh by-pass branch on the site of the current hot springs of the sulphuric thermal mineral water.
The mud has important antifungal features. It is prepared for balneology application using the original technology, which cause it to mature and regenerate, which is accompanied by multitude of chemical and biological reactions. The mature mud has a butter-like consistency, it is greasy, malleable, with good heat conducting features, it cools down four times slower than water compared to which the former has 350x higher viscosity. Mud application temperature is approximately 45°C; duration of partial or total wrap is 20 minutes. The wrap causes a temporary local, as well as total body overheating, which depends on the application area of the wrap. The mud wrap causes the reduction of local swellings around joints, reduction of the muscle tension, better nutrition of cartilage, connective tissues and intervertebral discs. It strengthens anti-inflammatory activity and immune processes within the body, preventing degradation of elastine, collagen and hyaluronane, and thus improving the function of cartilage, connective tissues and joint motorics.
