IV Hydration Therapy Q&A

Intravenous hydration therapy is a great way to bolster your health with the effective administration of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals directly into your bloodstream through an IV drip. When electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins are orally ingested in pill or liquid form, much of the nutrient value is broken down by your digestive tract so that you only receive about 50 percent of the nutrients. By contrast, IV hydration therapy bypasses your digestive system so that the electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins go directly to the bloodstream, meaning that your body can absorb between 90 and 100 percent of the nutrients! When using the blood as a medium, the electrolytes, minerals, and vitamins can be delivered to the cells that need them much more efficiently than through ingestion. As a result, the health benefits of IV hydration therapy are quite far-reaching!

From a hangover cure to a skin enhancement treatment to an immune system boost, intravenous hydration therapy can benefit nearly anyone! The following is a list of ways that IV hydration therapy could help you:

● Accelerated wound recovery
● Addiction recovery and reduction of withdrawal symptoms
● Allergy and asthma treatment
● Boosted energy levels and improved mental clarity
● Brightened skin
● Cold and flu recovery
● Fast hangover cure
● Faster muscle recovery
● Healthy weight loss treatment
● Improved athletic performance
● Maintain healthy muscle and tissue
● Migraine treatment
● Reduction of wrinkles and blemishes
● Strengthen eyes, hair, nails, and skin
● Strengthen the immune system
● Useful for a pre-exercise and post-exercise recovery boost

If any of the above IV hydration therapy uses could be beneficial to you, we highly recommend this unique treatment! Depending on what you are using IV hydration therapy for and what vitamins or minerals your body lacks, we can customize your therapy and the specific vitamins and minerals used in the IV drip to be of optimal benefit to you.

When you come to Fast Aid Urgent Care for IV hydration therapy, we will want to make sure that you can safely receive this treatment, and we will want to find out how we can serve you best with IV hydration therapy. As such, before we start the process, one of our medical physicians will have an initial consultation with you to discuss your medical history and what you hope to achieve with the treatment. IV hydration therapy is not recommended for people with kidney disease or certain blood pressure or heart conditions, so we will want to rule out any such conditions upfront. We may also request some lab work to be done to determine if you have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies that we can boost with treatment.

Once the consultation is complete, treatment can begin! It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to complete. During this time, we will ask you to either sit or lie down—whichever is most comfortable for you—and a medical professional will place an IV drip through a needle in your arm. Once the IV drip is in place, all you need to do is relax and wait for the drip to complete. You should expect to experience immediate results that continue to improve throughout the day and last for about three to four days.
