[The role of physical balneological factors in the treatment of occupational diseases].

Abstract

The authors review the results obtained in the treatment of some occupational diseases using physical factors. In osteoarthritis patients exposed to fluorine compounds good results were achieved at employment of decimeter-wave therapy combined with mud applications or sulfurated hydrogen baths. Patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis benefited from combination of EHF therapy with alternating magnetic field. Initial lead intoxication was effectively treated with magnetotherapy. Subjects with vascular pathology occupationally exposed to high temperature responded to magnetolaser impact on reflexogenic regions of the heart.
