The prescription of thermal treatments

Italian Board of Health has officially recognized the role of therapeutic Spa treatments in bettering and rehabilitating many diseases, so that a detailed and specific protocol has been drawn up.

Patients can take good advantage of such treatments by their doctors’ prescriptions, clearly written on USSL’s red schedules and describing their pathologies, the suggested therapy and how many treatments they should undergo.
