Hydrotherapy is one of the easiest ways to obtain natural pain relief, and is currently in use by doctors and clinics across the country for treating injuries, for amputated limb care, for increasing lymphatic circulation and for rehabilitation. If hydrotherapy has been recommended for you but you don’t have the time for frequent trips to a clinic, you might be best served by a portable hydrotherapy whirlpool.
A portable whirlpool allows you to turn almost any existing bathtub into a powerful hydrotherapy experience. Whether you’re looking for general relaxation or diabetes care, massaging jets and water can be extremely beneficial for many people. The most popular unit we know of that is made in the United States, is electrically safe, is self cleaning and can often be reimbursed by insurance is the Therapool.
The Therapool has a two horsepower motor that forces air through tubing that has hundreds of jets along the length of it. You place the tubing wherever you want it in your bathtub, fill the tub, turn on the Therapool and relax. You can use it across the entire tub or move the tubing to one area to focus on a particular body part. The powerful motor ensures you get real massage action, not the weak, bubbly action often seen in lower grade models. And because the Therapool is self cleaning, you don’t have to worry about a complicated cleaning process.
The Therapool has a Medicare CPT code of 97022 and numerous ICD-9 codes. If you’re interested in having the unit reimbursed by insurance, we recommend calling your insurance company. They will know best what they can do for your particular plan and what steps you need to take. Your physician should also be able to help with this.
If you have any questions about hydrotherapy whirlpools, we’ll be happy to help. You may contact us or visit our Therapool Portable Whirlpool page for complete information on the unit.
