Treatment

The medical treatment at Marianske lazne has a long and well-known tradition. Originally, physicians treated their patients right on the spa colonnade. Today, experienced spa physicians and balneologists work in the health resorts. One part of spa treatment is a preliminary medical check-up, during which a physician prescribes a treatment programme. The treatment priority lies in the use of natural medicinal sources in Marianske Lazne – mineral baths, gas baths and gas injections. Physicians also perform periodical and final medical checks. Laboratory tests of blood and urine are an important part of the treatment.There is also an ECG check-up available.
Very important is the drinking treatment prescribed by a physician. The return to traditional spa treatment is the pivotal credo. Comfort, spa atmosphere and individual care – spa guests were used to this all during the golden era. This, as well as much more, can be found in our beautiful town.
