Fangotherapy in Sirmione: an ally for rheumatic diseases

With the arrival of the winter season, Sirmione reaffirms its status as a significant center for mud therapy, offering a natural treatment for those suffering from rheumatic disorders. The mud balneotherapy practiced at the Terme di Sirmione utilizes sulfureous salsobromoiodic water and has proven effective in alleviating symptoms related to conditions such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Clinical studies document that this approach not only reduces pain and joint stiffness but also enhances patients’ mobility. Dr. Emanuele Clò, Medical Director of the Terme di Sirmione, emphasizes that this therapy represents a little-known yet proven therapeutic response in the management of rheumatic diseases. Due to its non-invasive nature and good tolerability, mud therapy is also accessible through the National Health Service, allowing patients to benefit from treatment cycles that can extend the results over time.
