IV therapy can have therapeutic effects for individuals across a with range of health conditions. These benefits are not limited to the acutely or chronically ill.

In an ideal world, our diet should provide adequate levels of basic nutrients, however, due to chronic stress, poor diet choices, environmental pollutants, nutrient depleted soil and genetic modification, nutrient status in the body is often not even close to optimal. IV infusion therapy can help with cellular nutrition when there are deficiencies in the body. Helping treat nutritional deficiencies is only one aspect of IV therapy. Different disease states can negatively affect the cellular processes in our body and the IV administration of certain substances directly to the cells can be of great therapeutic value.

IV Infusion Therapy can be beneficial for everyone from the individual with an acute cold, to the patient suffering from a chronic illness, to the athlete looking to improve athletic performance. IV Infusion Therapy may be used as an adjunct to conventional medicine or as the sole treatment modality depending on what is determined optimal for the patient.

IV Infusion Therapy is a common practice among Medical and Naturopathic doctors all around the world. It is a well-researched treatment with a long history of use that is able to address nutritional deficiencies, as well as deliver important micronutrients which trigger desired biological reactions within the body.

The human body consists of somewhere between 100-200 Trillian cells which are conducting over 500 billion chemical reactions each second. These cells operate in a complex network of organ systems and must be kept in a constant balance to assure optimum health. When these cells have the proper fuel and environment (ie. the proper vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids) in which to operate, an individual is usually considered to be healthy. When there is an imbalance in these essential nutrients cellular dysfunction and health issues arise. IV Nutrition therapy fundamentally aims to correct these imbalances by giving the body’s cellular environment what it requires, and consequently optimizing the health of the patient.

Most chronic illnesses are associated with cellular dysfunction within the body. By assisting your cells, therapy can reduce inflammation, fight the effects of aging, improve energy, strengthen immunity, and aid in the treatment of numerous health conditions.

1. Eat a substantial meal before arriving for an IV Treatment

2. Any relevant bloodwork or testing will be reviewed with the patient.

3. The nurse or doctor will check the patient’s vitals to ensure they are fit to receive IV therapy. Pulse rate, blood pressure, and weight are often recorded.

4. The patient will be able to relax in a comfortable chair or bed during the procedure.

5. The doctor or nurse will access the patient’s vein, usually somewhere on the arm, with a medical needle in order to insert the catheter. The needle is removed with the catheter remaining in the vein. This is much more comfortable than if the needle was left in the vein throughout the procedure.

6. The catheter is connected with tubing to the IV bag suspended on an IV pole. The IV bag will have been carefully prepared by a qualified professional to ensure the correct Nutrients and substances are in the mixture. Some patient may receive consecutive IV bags during a procedure if substances are being administered that should not be combined external to the body.

7. As the therapeutic agents are infused into the patient, a nurse or doctor will be monitoring the procedure. The patient is able to relax, read a book, work on their computer, watch TV, or sleep.

8. Once the patient has completed their IV infusion the nurse or doctor will remove the catheter and apply pressure to the injection site before applying a small bandage. There can be some tenderness at the injection site for a short time.

9. The patient vitals will be checked again to make sure they are in fit condition to leave the clinic.

Most IV drips take anywhere between 15-90 minutes during which time a patient can recline, watch TV or a movie, sleep, read, listen to music, or just relax. Some high dose drips can take 2-3 hours but we will let you know ahead of time if you require one.

This depends on the patients health condition and health goals. Different patients have different IV infusion needs. For example someone who is receiving an IV to combat jet lag has different needs compared someone who is treating a chronic illness.

Many conditions often require an intense period of treatment (1-2 months) during which you may need multiple treatments per week if necessary. This is typically followed by maintenance therapy 1-4 times/month.

Preventative and anti-aging treatments are typically recommended 2-4 times a month.

Before receiving an IV infusion patients must first book in for a free consultation with the doctor. At this appointment the doctor will be able to review your medical history, examine your health condition, order any necessary investigations and labs, and discuss your health goals. The doctor will then be able to prescribe a treatment plan best suited to your specific health needs.
