IV THERAPY DESCRIPITON:
What is it?
IV nutrient therapy is a therapeutic approach we specialize in. IV (intravenous) therapy is a technique used to deliver nutrients directly into the blood stream, more efficiently with a higher concentration that would otherwise be difficult by supplementation. Crafted with specific goals in mind, our IV’s are customized to fit your unique needs, concerns and goals. Our IV’s allow for a customized approach, tailored to you, for maximum absorption of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, along with other supportive nutrients. To find out if IV therapy is a good treatment or supportive therapy option for you, make an appointment with one of our doctors.

Additional labs may be ordered prior to your first IV therapy appointment. The first appointment takes 60 minutes. Each IV therapy treatment takes between 30 minutes – 2 hours depending on your specific treatment plan. Some people may feel benefits as early as upon completion of the first IV treatment, while others may require a couple treatments before experiencing benefits.
