IV THERAPY
IV Infusions and Drips
IV Infusion and Drips
IV (Intravenous) therapy represents a paradigm in integrative and functional therapy, allowing us to both prevent and help treat a wide variety of conditions safely and effectively. As soon as your infusion starts, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are quickly circulated through your bloodstream and delivered to cells making them hydrated and nourished. In IV therapy treatments, there’s no waiting for the nutrients to be absorbed by other bodily systems such as the digestive tract. Let’s think of it as like “direct deposit” so let’s get drippin’! Make that every week for optimal results. Please see discounted pricing for IV packages.

IV BOOSTERS (IV PUSHES AND IM SHOTS)
IV Pushes and IM Shots
With the same concept as IV Infusion Therapy, IV (Intravenous) Push Therapy and IM (Intramuscular) shots are a method of delivering vitamins and minerals directly into a patient’s bloodstream thereby making it bioavailable 100%. This therapy is perfect for on-the-go clients because these can be as fast as few seconds (IM shots) to 15 minutes (IV Pushes).
IV Therapy - FAQ
Our therapy is not intended to replace the benefits of a good, consistent, well-balanced diet that includes adequate vitamins and minerals. However, IV therapy is more effective in delivering essential hydration, vitamins, and minerals to our body thereby providing fast relief to certain symptoms and/or ensuring adequate amount of vitamins and minerals.
A consultation with our medical director can help answer this question because each treatment is designed specifically for individuals based on their treatment plans. Some do come in for a quick relief of their symptoms (IV Pushes and IM Shots), while others are on a more consistent plan while they are treating more complex issues.
Prior to IV infusion and IV push session, our registered nurse will insert a needle to introduce a flexible plastic tube (catheter). The needle will then be withdrawn leaving the catheter into your vein to deliver the medically approved IV blend to your system. You’ll then get to relax for around 30 – 45 minutes while the treatment occurs.
IV therapy is not painful. You may feel some coolness in your arm during treatment and that is the solution that is being infused and it is mild and temporary. You may also notice a slight mineral taste in your mouth (most patients report this when they receive Normal Saline which is the main component of the IV Therapy and IV Push), but this will go away very quickly.
While many find insertion of IV needles to be relatively quick and painless, others will find this process painful. For the whole treatment or IV therapy, insertion of the IV needle would be the most uncomfortable. While in no way is this procedure excruciatingly painful, we do have ways of making the process more bearable. Please feel free to let our staff know as we can utilize a topical numbing agent and great care to make any discomfort tolerable.
While IV Therapy is widely received as safe and effective, patients do have different experiences. Most patients say they often feel better since cells are being “reenergized” but some patients might feel worn down especially for those who are receiving treatments for specific ailments. This is typically short-lived experience because your body is being detoxified.
