IV Therapy Specialist

What is IV therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy offers the chance to deliver a powerful blend of nutrients directly into your bloodstream. It’s a great way to fuel your body at the cellular level and address any vitamin or mineral deficiencies. 

Taking supplements requires processing them through your digestive system, where there is no way to track absorption. Oral high-dose vitamins can also upset gastrointestinal health.

Injecting essential micronutrients into your blood bypasses your digestive tract, so you experience no unpleasant effects and get the most from your therapy.

Why might I need IV therapy?

A diverse diet helps ensure you get the essential micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) needed for optimal health. However, meeting the daily recommendations through food alone isn’t always easy. Deficiencies cause or contribute to concerns like fatigue, workout recovery, and even skin health.

Some nutrient deficiencies have consequences for your health, affecting your digestion, immunity, mental health, and many other systems in your body. 

Even if you have a well-balanced diet, you might get only some of the nutrients you need from your food, especially if you have a condition like Crohn's disease that causes malabsorption in the gut.

An IV infusion ensures that 100% of the micronutrients go straight into your bloodstream.

Can IV therapy help with chronic health problems?

IV therapy can boost immune function, increase energy, and improve overall well-being. This therapy can improve the symptoms of numerous health conditions, including:

• Fibromyalgia
• Difficulties sleeping
• Chronic fatigue
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Chronic pain
  
  

Neuropathy and Pain Centers of Texas has helped many patients with conditions like these who experience considerable improvement in their health.

How is IV therapy administered?

The process begins with a review of your medical history and current symptoms. Additional screening might include:

• Adrenal stress testing
• Hormone therapy testing
• Complete blood count
• Immune function tests
• Digestive function testing
• Thyroid testing
• Allergy testing
  
  

Afterward, your practitioner selects an appropriate blend of vitamins and minerals and creates a personalized IV cocktail.

It takes only seconds to place a thin needle into your wrist or hand that connects to the treatment bag with an adequate length of medical tubing. The solution enters your blood over the next 40 to 60 minutes.
