IV Therapy

What are the benefits of IV therapy?

Intravenous (IV) hydration therapy is one of the most effective ways to get vital nutrients and fluids into your body. Because this concentrated solution goes directly into your bloodstream, you don’t have to worry about losing vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients to harsh digestive processes.

Instead, cells can quickly absorb the nutrients they need to function while you become more hydrated. Although IV hydration therapy can be beneficial for everyone, this in-demand treatment is highly recommended to help with:

• Allergies 
• Muscle spasms
• Fatigue or lethargy
• Chronic pain conditions 
• Headaches and migraines 
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Dehydration, including a hangover
• Acute illnesses, such as a cold or flu

IV hydration therapy is essential for athletes, too. Treatments can help you hydrate and recover after an intense workout or training session while promoting healing if you have an injury. 

How often do I need IV therapy?

Your IV hydration therapy plan from International Spine Pain & Performance Center is entirely tailored to your unique needs and any health concerns you may have. The team routinely recommends weekly IV hydration therapy sessions for athletes or anyone suffering from a chronic condition.

Once your health improves or any symptoms you have start to fade away, your provider may begin to space out your IV hydration visits. Over time, you might only need IV hydration therapy once or twice a month for maintenance.

Of course, at any time, if you come down with an illness, you’re always welcome to request additional IV hydration therapy appointments.  

What happens during an IV therapy session?

Your IV hydration therapy session from International Spine Pain & Performance Center is a time for you to lie back and relax. Your provider places an IV line into the inside bend of your elbow and secures it in place. Depending on your unique IV drip needs, it can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes to complete your treatment.

During this time, you can read a book, work on your tablet, or take a nap. No downtime is necessary after IV hydration therapy, so that you can return to all of your normal activities afterward, including work or exercise.
