Intravenous (IV) therapy is a powerful wellness treatment that works by delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream. Your body can then make use of those nutrients immediately to help you perform at peak levels.
At Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care in Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, you have access to outstanding IV therapy services in a comfortable and welcoming setting. Christopher Smith, MD, and the rest of our team are here to guide you toward the options best suited for your needs.
The process is simple, and if you’ve ever had an IV placed in a hospital or prior to a medical procedure, you already know what to expect. As you rest comfortably in the treatment chair, your practitioner places a needle into a vein on your hand or wrist.
You might feel a slight pinch as the needle penetrates your skin, but there’s no significant pain. Next, your practitioner uses narrow surgical tubing to connect the needle to a bag that contains a saline solution and your personalized nutrient solution.
Because there are several conditions that benefit from IV therapy, there are a number of different ingredients to choose from. We structure your treatment to align with your specific goals.
Once the connection is made, the solution begins entering your bloodstream one drip at a time. All you have to do is rest and relax for the next 30 minutes or so. You can read, listen to music, or scroll your phone while your body gets a powerful boost of nutrients.
Once your treatment is complete, you can return to the rest of your day with no restrictions and no need for downtime. You’ll be in and out in less than an hour.
Your body needs a complex blend of vitamins and minerals to thrive. While you can get everything you need from food sources alone, doing so requires a great deal of time and effort. If you’re like most people, finding the time to plan, shop for, and prepare healthful meals every day is a challenge.
IV therapy offers the perfect solution. By delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream, your body can make use of them right away. There’s no worry about what might be lost in the digestive process, as occurs when you take oral supplements.
Here are some of the issues that IV therapy can improve:
These are just a few examples of the potential benefits of IV drip therapy. Talk to our team if you’re concerned about a lack of nutrients, you want help losing weight, or you’d like to boost your overall health.
When you come to Christos Doctors Inn Walk In Health Care to discuss IV therapy, Dr. Smith or another team member sits down with you to discuss your health history and needs. As with all medical care, it’s absolutely critical to share the full details about any medications or supplements you’re taking.
Certain drugs may interact with some vitamins and minerals, so it’s important that your health team has a solid understanding of your drug therapy before prescribing an IV nutrient solution.
