title: [Physical therapy in the complex treatment of thyroiditis].
abstract: Pathogenetic approaches (clinico-anatomic, structural features of thyroid epithelium, echographic signs, functional activity of the thyroid) served the basis for division of inflammatory diseases into 4 groups. A wide spectrum of physiotherapeutic procedures are suggested for treatment of thyroiditis. There may be different combination of physiotherapy with medication. The response was assessed by ultrasonography and dopplerography evidence. Physiotherapy potentiates the action of drugs and can be also used as monotherapy in dysfunctional thyroid pathology.
