IV Therapy at SFICC
IV infusion therapy is a procedure utilized to deliver a host of vitamins, minerals, medications and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream for rapid delivery to your body’s tissue and organs. There are a variety of therapeutic effects of IV therapy depending on what your goals are. Replacement of essential nutrients, correction of deficiencies, improving immune function, improving antioxidant status, reducing oxidative damage, improving fatigue, improving quality of hair, skin and nails and to aid in weight loss are several of the most common reasons that patients seek IV therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect as an IV therapy patient?
You will be evaluated by one of our board-certified providers at which time a brief medical history will be taken, including any medication allergies and current medication and supplement regimen. Your vital signs will also be obtained. The provider will ask what condition, deficiency or diagnoses you would like addressed and will make a recommendation for a patient-specific IV therapy recipe tailored just for your needs. IV access will be obtained while you sit back and relax in one of our adjustable treatment chairs and your infusion will begin. Feel free to listen to music of your choice or bring a tablet or a book to help you enjoy your therapy time.
How long does an infusion take?
From start to finish, your time in the clinic should not exceed 1 hour.
How often can I have IV therapy?
Most of the IV therapy can be repeated on a weekly basis if desired and in some cases, weekly infusions are encouraged in order to receive the most benefit.
How long does it take to feel a difference?
While some patients may feel therapeutic effects immediately, others may notice improved sleep, increased energy, glowing skin, improved athletic performance and many other results over the hours and days following their treatment.
Does it really work?
The human body absorbs 10 - 30% of the vitamins contained in oral pills. By infusing the vitamins, antioxidants and minerals directly into the bloodstream, we are able to achieve 100% absorption rates compared to supplements or directly from food sources. While all patients will have different success rates, most feel the benefits from IV therapy in the hours and days following the infusion.
