Colon hydrotherapy or colonic clinics are available throughout Florida. In addition to colon hydrotherapy, many of these clinics give customers advice on wellness, sell supplements and offer services like massages. Though prices vary from clinic to clinic, you can get a colonic or other detoxifying treatment for less than $100.
Equipment
Some clinics use only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registered or approved equipment. Colonics With Care uses this kind of equipment along with disposable supplies like rectal tubes to ensure cleanliness. Its hydrotherapy machine is so safe to operate that it even allows people to administer hydrotherapy to themselves.
Process
Hydrotherapy flushes water through the colon. It is an outpatient procedure and its most common side effect is minor discomfort during the process. Aventura Massage and Colonics in Aventura describes its hydrotherapy process as a water massage. Aventura provides an FAQ section on its website that details the benefits, purpose, duration and other issues related to colon hydrotherapy.
Products and Aftercare
Some clinics provide customers with health advice and supplemental products. Aventura Masssage and Colonics sells colon cleanser pills. ReNew Life Clinic in Clearwater sells Platinum Health brand supplements online and at the clinic. Happy Colons in Indialantic recommends eating plenty of unprocessed foods and drinking lots of water to aid in detoxification after getting treatment.
Costs
Costs vary depending on the type of services and length of services you choose. As of 2010, one treatment of colon hydrotherapy costs $80 to $90. Aventura and Happy Colons discount the price of hydrotherapy if you buy multiple sessions. The costs for other services vary depending on the type of service. One-hour massages range from $70 to $90.
Other Services
Many clinics offer other health treatments that complement colon hydrotherapy. Aventura provides Swedish massage and deep tissue massage as well as skin treatments like pore cleansing. Colonics With Care offers lymphatic drainage to improve the body's circulation of fluids and a sauna. ReNew gives you the option to get colon hydrotherapy and lymphatic drainage in one treatment, in addition to a sauna and different kinds of massages.
