Hydrotherapy involves the use of water to treat a variety of conditions. Continue reading to learn more about what it is, how it works, and the costs associated with hydrotherapy treatment.

What is hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy uses warm water immersion to help rejuvenate the body, relax and soothe pain, and calm the senses. This ancient therapeutic treatment is also used to help reduce high blood pressure, anxiety and arthritis.¹

How does hydrotherapy work?

Usually involving a circuit of treatments, hydrotherapy traditionally starts with a warm sauna before moving to a hot jacuzzi with pulsating jets. The treatment continues with a chilling plunge pool followed by a pressure shower.

The primary benefit of hydrotherapy is in the alternating temperatures of the water. Warm water causes the blood vessels to expand and dilate while cold temperatures make them contract.

Moving between the warm and cold waters during hydrotherapy treatment helps increase blood circulation throughout the body and deliver nutrients and oxygen to areas of the body that may need healing.¹

How much does hydrotherapy cost?

The average cost of hydrotherapy is $50 to $121 per treatment.² The actual price of hydrotherapy treatment can depend on various factors including the area or geographic location of the spa or facility in which treatment is being given.

Does insurance cover hydrotherapy?

Elective, cosmetic or spa treatments like hydrotherapy are not typically covered by health insurance plans. Check with your plan provider to determine your specific benefits.

How can I pay for hydrotherapy?

If you are looking to pay for hydrotherapy treatment, there are several payment options that you can consider.

If you have the funds readily available, of course you can simply pay for the service at the time of treatment.

If you are interested in paying over time, almost all providers accept general-purpose credit cards. Many also accept the CareCredit health, wellness and personal care credit card, which may be a way for you to get the spa services you want while paying over time with convenient monthly payments that can fit your budget.*

Can I use my CareCredit credit card to pay for hydrotherapy?
