Doctor-supervised balneotherapy and physiotherapy for chronic lower-back, lumbar and spine pain.
Understanding your condition
Chronic back and spine pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment. It can arise from degenerative disc disease, wear of the small facet joints of the spine, muscular strain or postural overload, and it is often felt in the lower back (lumbar) or neck (cervical) region.
Pain may be dull and persistent or sharp and movement-related, and can radiate into the limbs when a nerve is involved. Most non-specific back pain is not caused by serious disease and responds well to conservative, movement-based care.
Ensana's medical spa programmes treat back and spine pain with a combination of individual physiotherapy, underwater exercise and traction, and anti-inflammatory balneotherapy, all supervised by a resident physician.
Warm mineral baths and mud applications relax tight muscles and ease pain, while targeted exercise restores flexibility, core strength and posture. CO₂ gas injections may be added to improve local circulation. The aim is durable relief and better day-to-day function rather than short-term masking of symptoms.
