MEDICAL TREATMENTS
Intravenous Therapy
The acronym “IV” stands for intravenous therapy, “intra-” meaning within or inside and “venous” relating to the veins. Thus, IV therapy is a method of administering fluids into the body via the blood vessels, and it’s the fastest way possible to deliver essential nutrients to your body.
What are IV Therapy and how do they work?
An IV fluid drip involves a small tube called a catheter and a saline-based electrolyte solution that contains your selected vitamins and nutrients. An IV drip delivers these essential nutrients and fluids directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract. There’s no wait time, and the nutrition is instantly available to remedy your body’s health and wellness needs. How the process works:
Initial Health Assessment
Complete a few forms prior to your infusion, as well as, a quick health assessment.
Connecting the Drip Bag.
The catheter is attached to a bag, which contains your selected drip!
Accessing Your Vein.
Our nurses place a small, thin plastic tube called a catheter directly into your vein. In order to place the catheter, we use a numbing spray to help minimize any discomfort.
Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy.
In total, an IV drip takes around 30 to 45 minutes for a complete therapy session, including the initial paperwork.
Removing the Needle.
Once our nurse accesses your vein, we remove the needle. The catheter remains inside you deliver your IV infusion.
