Innovative Cryotherapy Study for Veterans

As part of its commitment to expanding wellness services, The Body Spa & Cryo is participating in a groundbreaking study examining the effects of whole-body cryotherapy on reducing opioid use for pain management. This study aims to explore cryotherapy’s potential in pain and mental stress management, specifically evaluating its role in both the prevention and treatment of opioid use disorder within a high-risk population—VA veterans. Through this research, The Spa will document client recovery and progress, assessing cryotherapy’s ability to replace, reduce, or eliminate the need for pain medications, while also alleviating withdrawal symptoms and cravings and enhancing overall physical and mental well-being throughout the sessions.

As part of this initiative, the spa is offering 12 free cryotherapy sessions to prequalified VA spa clients to assess cryotherapy’s potential role in veterans’ mental and physical rehabilitation. The study, funded by the South Dakota Opioid Settlement Fund in partnership with the Department of Social Services, aims to demonstrate how cryotherapy can be an alternative to traditional pain management solutions.The Spa will also be donating an additional 6-12 sessions per client above and beyond the states 12 funded sessions to expand the study.
