Slovak Healing Spa Piestany
Slovak Healing Spa Piestany has been helping guests improve theirhealth, rid themselves of pain, and lead a full life without restrictions
for more than 200 years. Doctor Frantisek Ernest Scherer established
the basis for the progressive spa treatment in Piestany. The principles
of Scherer´s treatment cures described in his publication Hot Springs
and Piestany Spa provided the basis for the current, modern, successful,
treatment treatments.
There are currently more than 40 spa doctors providing treatments,
specialized in fields such as internal medicine, rheumatology,
orthopedics, balneology, neurology, and psychiatrics as well as in other
fields of medicine connected to spa treatment. Other medical personnel
also play an important role in the treatment of guests - physiotherapists,
masseurs, rehabilitation personnel, mudpack personnel, nurses and dietary
nurses. There are almost 500 of them in Piestany, and they represent
the pinnacle of this field in Slovakia.
There are two kinds of stays in Pieštany: 1. Curative stay
2. Recondition stays
1. CURATVE STAY
A Curative Stay is recommended for people suffering from diseases
of the locomotive apparatus and some organic nerve diseases. The
recommended length for a spa healing stay at Piestany Spa is 21 days.
Curative stay includes:
Guests arriving for healing treatment have an initial check-up
and laboratory examinations in order to determine a precise diagnosis
and the status of the disease. On the basis of the results from these
examinations and following agreement with the spa guest, the doctor
determines the range of basic and additional treatments to be taken
by the guest. Treatment with spa treatments mainly depends on the health
of the guest, and is marked on the spa card, which shows a timetable for
the individual treatments. After completing the healing stay, guests take
a final examination and their doctor writes a medical report for their
doctor with recommendations for further treatments.
2. RECONDITION STAYS
Recondition stays are focused on relaxation, regeneration, getting
new energy, and last but not least for preventing diseases of the
locomotive apparatus and diseases resulting from a modern lifestyle.
They are recommended for people of active age who appreciate their health
and are willing to invest in it. Recondition stays last for 1 or 2 weeks.
