5 Popular Benefits of IV Therapy

We don’t always eat the healthiest diet, and even if we make the right food choices, our body may not get all the nutrients it needs to function at peak levels.

If you find yourself in this situation, the intravenous (IV) therapy services available at Primary & Urgent Care South in Warrior, Alabama, and Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, can help. Our team offers IV therapy in a comfortable office setting so you can achieve your nutrition and wellness goals.

How IV therapy works

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line, usually placed in your arm.

We offer a range of IV nutrients to meet your needs. You might be a candidate for IV therapy if you’re not feeling well due to colds or the flu or if you’re limited by:

• Dehydration
• Low energy
• Chronic fatigue
• Joint pain
• Migraines

IV therapies are also available to support the health of your hair, skin, and nails.

The slow-drop infusion of these nutrients into your blood helps bypass the digestion process. When you take supplements orally, they must first go through your digestive tract. Your natural digestive processes may limit how much nutrients your body absorbs.

IV therapy is available on an outpatient basis, and treatments don’t take long. Our staff prioritizes your comfort and safety and checks your vital signs throughout the process.

5 key benefits of IV therapy

IV therapy offers many benefits for people who want to feel their best and maintain optimal wellness. Here are five key benefits IV therapy can bring to your life:

1. Maximum absorption potential

IV infusions of essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream ensure you receive the full benefits of the vitamins and minerals you receive.

Many people begin to feel the boosting effects of the nutrients before their treatment ends and enjoy results that last for several days.

2. Availability of nutrients

By infusing essential vitamins and minerals into your blood, your cells can access the nutrients immediately – without waiting for the body to absorb them after digestion.

This means your cells can use the nutrients immediately to improve your energy levels, ease pain, and rehydrate your body at a cellular level.

3. Help when you need it

We don’t always know how we’ll feel when we wake up for the day. If you’re noticing early warning signs of a cold or a migraine, you can schedule an IV therapy session to activate your immune system and help reduce your risk of more serious symptoms developing.

Many people schedule routine IV therapy sessions as part of their preventive health care plan. Based on your wellness goals and medical history, we can recommend which nutrients you need.

4. Correct vitamin deficiencies

Many people have undiagnosed vitamin deficiencies that unknowingly affect their health. Through IV therapy, you can quickly correct any existing deficiencies and prevent them from occurring again.

We can customize the nutrients you receive during your IV therapy session to maximize your health and address your unique wellness goals.

5. No-hassle treatment

In-office IV therapy sessions typically last 30-60 minutes. There’s nothing you need to do during your appointment but sit back and relax.

You can browse your emails, read a book, and appreciate the downtime you’re giving yourself as part of a self-care routine. Ready to add IV Therapy to your wellness routine? Call Primary & Urgent Care South or request an appointment online.
