What is IV therapy?

IV therapy involves delivering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into your bloodstream through a vein, usually in your arm. This method allows for rapid absorption and distribution of nutrients and other substances throughout the body, bypassing the digestive system for quicker and more effective results.

Averting the gastrointestinal tract allows for the highest potency of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. It also minimizes the risk of digestive complications, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which often accompany oral consumption.

With a team of board-certified physicians, Internal Medicine Partners ensures the highest level of safety and efficacy when administering IV therapy.

Can IV therapy supplement other treatments?

IV therapy can complement many other treatments, including medication, nutritional counseling, and physical therapy. Internal Medicine Partners may integrate IV therapy into your existing care plan. If you’re struggling to lose weight, the practice can supplement your personalized plan with IV therapy.

What can I expect during IV therapy?

IV therapy requires no preparation. You can bring a book or another form of entertainment while relaxing in a comfortable chair during treatment. Most IV therapy sessions take about 30-90 minutes. Once you’re comfortable, your doctor inserts the IV into a vein in your arm. 

Depending on the IV drip you choose, you may feel calm, energetic, or rejuvenated immediately after treatment.

How often should I get IV therapy?

Some people get IV therapy weekly, while others visit every other week. Monthly sessions can also enhance your health and wellness. The frequency of your sessions depends on your current health status, metabolism, goals, and other factors. Your doctor at Internal Medicine Partners can develop a personalized treatment plan to determine your treatment frequency.
