Efficacy of Radon thermal gallery therapy in ankylosing spondylitis:-

The combination of hyperthermy and radon inhalation has an anti-inflammatory effect and enables many patients to reduce their consumption of inflammatory drugs. Since the risk connected with NSAIDs is much higher than the possible risk connected with the low-dose radon therapy, the treatment in Gastein is a risk-reducing therapy of AS.

Recently there was a question on the Guestbook about the efficacy of Radon Therapy. I did post a response to them, but just picked this nugget up from the International Federation website. Interesting. (But know I myself could not afford to go indulge myself - expenses to get there and expense of staying - let alone boarding hound! Sigh.)
