What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is intravenous therapy, which means the fluid and ingredients are infused directly into your bloodstream rather than being taken in orally. IV therapy has been used in some form for about 100 years. Fluids, electrolytes, medications and even nutrition are frequently used in hospitals and clinics around the world.
Who could benefit from IV therapy?
Almost anyone can benefit from IV therapy. I personally do an IV about every 4 weeks. Any time I am feeling run down I do our immunity boost IV and I definitely see improved energy and mental clarity with the NAD+ infusions. The best part about our IV therapy is that we can customize the treatment for your needs. Your particular needs can differ based on age, diet, exercise frequency and intensity, how much alcohol you drink, what supplements you take, and how healthy your gut is. We frequently treat patients with headaches, hangovers, dehydration, and fatigue. We have also successfully treated patients for exercise recovery, acute illnesses, chronic fatigue, mental fog and more. In fact, some of our therapies may even help slow the aging process. Several of our IVs include high doses of vitamin C and glutathione which are powerful antioxidants. We can all use these benefits as we are constantly exposed to toxins and oxidative stress in our daily lives.
Does IV Therapy Hurt?
There is a small amount of pain with the initial stick but once the IV is placed, there should be no pain.
How long does IV therapy take?
This varies based on your specific IV therapy but most IV therapy can be completed in 30-60 minutes. Another great thing about Phi MD is that you can relax in our lounge and enjoy your favorite TV show while your IV infuses. Some medications and nutrients such as NAD+ have to be infused at a slower rate.
What IV therapies do you offer?
