[Application of contrast thermopuncture for the treatment of dorsopathies].
The objective of this work was to study the possibility of replacing acupuncture variants of reflexotherapy of dorsopathies by non-invasive procedures, such as thermopuncture at biologically active points. Mechanisms of action of contrast thermopuncture were elucidated. Its clinical efficiency for the rehabilitative treatment of cervical and thoracic dorsopathies was demonstrated. It is concluded that many specific features of the method account for its advantages over classical acupuncture.
