What is IV therapy?

IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, is a medical procedure where fluids, medications, or nutrients are delivered directly into your bloodstream through a small, sterile tube (intravenous catheter). It's a highly effective and efficient way to provide your body with the necessary substances it needs to heal, recover, or maintain its well-being.

What conditions can IV therapy treat?

IV therapy can treat a wide range of conditions and provide various benefits, depending on the substances administered and your specific needs. Common conditions and uses for IV therapy include:

• Dehydration
• Illness and infections
• Chronic conditions (e.g., migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome)

IV therapy can alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
