Intravenous (IV) therapy is an extremely popular treatment that involves the administration of fluids infused with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into your veins through a catheter (a hollow plastic tube). This looks just like the IV’s administered in hospitals, but without any medications. This infusion is administered by a registered nurse trained in IV therapy administration.
Our nurses are extremely skilled in the art of administering an IV. The needle used in an IV is very small. You may feel a small pinch as the IV is inserted, but this discomfort is low and only lasts a second or two.
Yes, IV therapy is extremely safe! Our medical director, and a nurse practitioner oversee each IV drip administered to each client.
IV therapy is not recommended for those who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
It is not safe for those with high blood pressure, or heart conditions to get an IV due to the dangers of excess fluids in the bloodstream. Every client is screened by our Medical Director who will clear each client for the IV treatment. We always recommend checking with your physician if you are unsure.
We recommend a max of two vitamin IVs per week, with the exception of certain NAD protocols which would allow about 3-4 per week with a few weeks break in between. Our most common regulars do a drip 1-2 times a month.
There are many uses for vitamin IV nutrient therapy, so the short answer is: nearly anyone. Depending on what problem areas you’re looking to address, this treatment may benefit athletes who want to improve their performance or recovery time, people who struggle with allergies, older individuals who want more control over their age management, people experiencing frequent fatigue and more.
Anyone may benefit from IV vitamin therapy if they’re experiencing any deficiency of a particular vitamin or mineral. Most IV vitamin drips consist of ingredients like Vitamin B, Vitamin C, magnesium, essential amino acids, calcium, zinc and other similar natural nutrients that most people can easily absorb and benefit from.
The good news is that many formulas can be customized to suit your individual needs. Some are designed to combat dehydration and reduce inflammation, while others are created to help boost energy and improve recovery time from an injury or sore muscles. Once you know where to focus on for yourself, our team of medical professionals can help determine the best type of nutrients that can help alleviate your problem areas.
For this modality, we have partnered with a team of medical professionals. As they are a separate entity, appointment payment is made directly to them. This means we cannot apply Aqua Spa gift certificates or service credits. For more information, please call 315.207.2080.
