Intravenous (IV) therapy is administering fluids, Nutrients, & medications directly into a vein. using a small hose known as a catheter. This allows the body to get what it needs faster.

Many of the helpful effects from the IV come from rapidly replacing fluids, electrolytes, medications, and vitamins to help you recover.

This is faster because the nutrients go directly into your bloodstream and completely bypass the gastrointestinal tract or the stomach.

With IV push vs IV infusion , the process is similar. The biggest difference in our case is the fluid volume. An IM Injection such as Vitamin B-12 is a small amount placed in the muscle instead of a vein.

Receiving an IV is safe when done by a trained professional who has taken a proper history, preformed a physical assessment & has a plan.

All of our IV’s are started by experienced, licensed healthcare providers including Paramedics, Nurses, and Physicians.

Many people are afraid of getting an IV because of the needle but ours is very small which helps to minimize the pain. We are here to help you to feel better and promise to do our best to make you comfortable.

Bruising is uncommon after an IV but is a risk anytime a needle enters the skin. Small amounts of blood may leak outside of the vein and sometimes leave a small bruise or hematoma (firm collection of blood within the tissues). This usually improves within hours to a few days as your body reabsorbs the blood.

Any time there is a needle physically entering the skin, there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, bruising, and slight pain.

We do all we can to avoid these common side effects including proper prep, proper needle size, and using trained professionals.
