Common Uses of Intravenous Therapy

What is IV Therapy Used For? 

IV therapy offers the following general benefits:

Athletic Performance Recovery

Recovery IV drip therapy involves several components when athletes recover from an intense workout. After a marathon or weightlifting, your body may feel depleted. Vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids help your body rehydrate, which increases energy and repairs tissue damage.

Hangover Relief

When you overindulge during a night out, you might wake up with a pounding headache and an upset stomach the next morning.

Hangover IV treatments include fluids to hydrate the body, vitamins to boost energy levels, and medications to relieve nausea, heartburn, and headaches. 

Immune System Support

Even though our immune systems keep us from getting sick, there are times when we do. If you're concerned about getting sick, IV therapy may help strengthen your immune system, especially during the flu and cold season. IV therapy boosts the immune system and reduces cold symptoms by administering several vitamins and minerals. 

Cold and Flu Relief

Cold and flu symptoms can be relieved by IV therapy. If you keep yourself hydrated with vitamins and minerals while taking an IV drip, your immune system can fight the infection. Anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea medications can also relieve the unpleasant symptoms of colds and flu, including coughing, body aches, headaches, and fever.

Pain Relief for Migraines and Headaches

Stress, diet, the environment, and certain medications can trigger headaches and migraines. The exact cause of migraines and headaches is not always known. The use of IV therapy reduces inflammation and mitigates pain. For migraine sufferers, an IV therapy package can include anti-nausea medication.

Alleviating Pregnancy Symptoms

During pregnancy, the body undergoes a variety of changes and stresses. Morning sickness can be irritating when caring for yourself and your growing baby. Morning sickness symptoms usually subside as the pregnancy progresses, but they can be distracting and uncomfortable. With IV therapy, pregnant women are hydrated and relieved of discomfort during morning sickness. As part of the IV therapy, vitamins and nausea medications are also included.
