Answers From Paramedics to Common topics about IV Therapy

What is IV Infusion Therapy

Why do I need infusion therapy?

Hydration at the cellular level is many times all that is required to regain the homeostasis baseline the human body is constantly working to maintain. Many factors influence this complex physiological process, but arguably none more so than the body’s ability to maintain sufficient hydration. This is easily understood when we think about the primary mechanism to maintain water balance, thirst. When the body needs water, nerve centers deep within the brain are stimulated, resulting in the sensation of thirst. The sensation becomes stronger as the body’s need for water increases, motivating us to drink the needed fluids.

​

Why choose IV therapy?
IV Therapy takes wellness to the next level. You get maximum absorption because IV therapy bypasses the digestive system and allows for 100% absorption into the bloodstream, resulting in an instant, noticeable improvement in overall body and mental function.

 

How does the body balance hydration needs?

This water balancing is managed by three main organs, the brain, the adrenal glands, and the kidneys. Working together these organs can adjust to help our bodies maintain the most efficient hydration balance possible; however, it is far more common than most people realize that the body while being as efficient as possible, is ineffective in maintaining the proper balance of water and electrolytes simply because we haven’t provided the input needed to keep pace with the loss of hydration we experience.

 

What is the best way to stay hydrated?

The best way to ensure you have a healthy balance of water and electrolytes is by maintaining a well-balanced diet, exercising a minimum of 2-3 times weekly, and following the “8x8: Rule” which suggests drinking eight 8oz. glasses of water daily. Most people will fall short of this consumption goal and that’s where IV infusion therapy can help. With just one 1,000cc bag of fluids, you can close this hydration gap and allow your body to function as it best.

 

How often should you get IV therapy?

When you first begin treatment, you may need to schedule weekly infusion sessions. If you have a chronic health condition that affects your immune system, you may decide to maintain this schedule.

​

However, most people will benefit from the treatments spaced about two weeks apart once their nutrient levels become stabilized. This is because you should expect your nutrient levels to remain elevated for between two to three weeks after each treatment. Some patients choose to schedule infusion therapy sessions monthly once they have achieved their desired results, and others only seek treatment when they experience symptoms.

 

How often do I know what additives to consider?

One of our medical professionals will help you decide what the best additives of vitamins and mineral nutrients are added to the IV fluid to complement your lifestyle and health goals. Whether you’re feeling down and need an immune system boot, have low stamina and need a boost in your energy levels, or have a specific ailment such as allergy, muscle & joint pain, diminished mental acuity, or just not feeling like yourself, we can help you overcome and maintain your best self.
