Abstract
THERE ARE many thousands of people in Britain with inadequately treated rheumatic disorders, ranging from minor complaints to serious and disabling forms of arthritis. The widespread public interest in treatment methods other than drugs suggests that spa treatment should be revived. It could be as successful in Britain as it is elsewhere in relieving pain and disability and in promoting health. The role of a thermal spa in the treatment of rheumatic disorders is described, and a plea is made for a return to these methods in the public interest.
