21.02.2012

Chronic back pain affects people of all ages and affects the quality of life enormously. The constant pulling and stinging makes every movement agony and spoils the pleasure of everything. In rest periods, the symptoms often even increase and rob many sufferers of sleep. To get relief, they take restraint and get into a vicious circle. Despite elaborate diagnostic methods, there are usually no concrete causes for tweaking in the cross. Painkillers often help only conditionally and often bring side effects. For many a hopeless condition. With radon heat therapy, however, a natural alternative is available.

„Radon, a naturally occurring substance, helps the body with cell repair and inhibits inflammatory and pain messengers. Acquired via the skin and lungs, it also relieves severe back pain“, describes PD Dr. Bertram Hölzl, radon expert and medical director of the Gasteiner Heilstollen. In addition, there is an increased release of endorphins known as happiness hormones. Radon cleats usually offer radon therapies as cures, in which patients enter a mountain and absorb radon for about one hour. The positive effects of radon can be enhanced by high temperatures between 37.5 and 41.5 degrees and high humidity above 70 percent. Then experts talk about radon heat therapy.

Such a tropical climate leads to a slight overheating of the body. As a reaction, he tries to produce evaporation cold by sweating and thus to cool the skin. However, when the ambient air is saturated with moisture, sweat will not evaporate and core body temperature will rise to 38.5 degrees. Experts speak of mild hyperthermia, which leads to a relaxation of pain-strained back muscles. In addition, in slightly overheated condition increases the radon absorption of the body and thus the effect of the natural remedy radon.

„Experiences show that mobility improves significantly after radon heat therapy and complaints on average also abate about 9 months, even at rest“, reports Hölzl. Many sufferers even do not need any pills after a two-week treatment and feel much better overall. „Especially patients with spinal disorders show almost without exception very satisfied with the feasibility and analgesic effect of the therapy“, he knows from accompanying scientific investigations. In addition, the treating health centers offer physiotherapy, massages, TCM services, medical pain therapy and a variety of other measures. This holistic approach, which incorporates radon heat therapy, plays an important medical role in the treatment of chronic low back pain. (Pm)
