DISEASES

«AltMed» Centre for Rehabilitation, Prevention and Traditional Medicine focuses mainly on spinal disorders known as vertebrogen diseases since the researchers have long established, that the spine plays a vital role for the health of other organs, and at the same time the spine diseases are seen as the main cause of most of Illnesses. The vertebral column (columna vertebralis), also known as the backbone or spine, is part of the axial skeleton, providing the main support for the body, protecting the spinal cord, it is also involved in the movement of the body on the one hand, and on the other hand it is an essential organ of central and peripheral nervous system, engaged in the innervation of internal organs and other parts of the body. The next priority in the activities of «AltMed» Medical Center are the diseases of gastrointestinal tract. The organs of the digestive system ingest the food taken to extract nutrients, absorb them into the blood and lymph, and remove the undigested waste from the body. This is another vital system of the organism, on the functional state of which any process-taking place in the organism depends. «AltMed» Medical Center offers an integrated preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitative care by applying modern and alternative pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods: Diseases of the musculoskeletal system:

In the conclusion, we would like to mention that even the most accurate and comprehensive information about the diseases and methods of their treatment available on the internet cannot be an adequate substitute for а specialized consultation from a doctor. Detailed publications on the web-page, even with illustrations, provide a general description of diseases, without taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. Thus, we would strongly recommend to consult a doctor immediately in case if alarming symptoms or signs of an illness are noticed and to undergo relevant examination to overcome the disease as quickly as possible.
