Dr Stefan Shishkov, head physician at the \"Anchialos\" balneotherapy centre at the Grand Hotel Pomorie, on the benefits of therapeutic mud.<\/h2>\n

Dr Shishkov, what makes Pomorie therapeutic mud unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is liman mud, different from that found at other mud therapy deposits around the world \u2013 there are such sites in Italy, France, Spain, Japan\u2026
Its uniqueness lies in its specific chemical composition and its high sulphur and iron content.<\/p>\n

It is well known that sulphur is essential for every movement the human body makes. Over the years its levels become depleted, and there is no known medicine that can restore its normal amount in the body. This is where Pomorie mud comes in, in the form of mud applications and mud baths.<\/p>\n

Which conditions are they used for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main focus of treatment with Pomorie mud is conditions of the musculoskeletal system \u2013 all forms of osteoarthritis, lower back pain, osteochondrosis (so-called bone spurs). Second come conditions of the peripheral nervous system \u2013 disc disease, plexitis, periarthritis. Third are skin conditions, including psoriasis. And not least \u2013 conditions of the female and male reproductive systems.<\/p>\n

Is a medical examination compulsory before starting treatments at your centre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/a>

Balneo hotel - Grand Hotel Pomorie, Pomorie<\/p><\/div>\n

On admission, every patient undergoes a compulsory medical examination. Cardiovascular conditions (previous heart attack, second- or third-degree hypertension), pregnancy and certain malignant conditions are absolute contraindications.<\/p>\n

How is treatment with the natural products of Pomorie Lake combined with the achievements of modern physical medicine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combining mud therapy and lye therapy with modern physiotherapy and modern medication is a real asset for the patient. It supports their full recovery to a far greater degree than if the treatment methods were applied separately.<\/p>\n

Ever since the centre was founded, we have striven to equip the facility with the most up-to-date medical apparatus and to use the most advanced medical resources in physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

We offer laser therapy, magnetotherapy, treatment with low-, medium- and high-frequency currents, PUVA therapy and other procedures.<\/p>\n

For the past 3 years we have been working with the preparation NeOx, which we use mainly in ultraphonophoresis. Combining mud therapy, lye therapy and the natural resources available in Pomorie with this modern medicine produces a remarkable therapeutic effect.<\/p>\n

Is the treatment affordable for Bulgarian citizens? Do you work with the National Social Security Institute?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 2 sanatoriums and 1 balneo hotel where mud therapy procedures are offered. Alongside privately arranged bookings, we also work under the programme of the National Social Security Institute, which allows citizens to receive treatment for 10-15 days and to undergo the relevant procedures.<\/p>\n

The patient must be covered by social insurance and have a referral from their GP. They need to contact the relevant regional office of the National Social Security Institute in order to be admitted for balneotherapy.<\/p>\n

Every Bulgarian has a duty to pay attention to their health.
There are 64 balneotherapy facilities in the country, but on a global scale we lag behind when it comes to prevention, unlike the Americans, the British and the Germans, who make full use of every opportunity offered by their social programmes.<\/p>\n
