IV Therapy

IV or intravenous (in-trah-VEE-nus) therapy is a way to give fluids, medicine, nutrition, or blood directly into the bloodstream through a vein. IV therapy uses a type of tiny plastic tubing (cannula) that goes into the vein, a needle, and plastic tubing that connects the set-up to a bag of fluid. Altogether, the pieces are called an “IV.”

IV fluid often contains water, glucose (sugar), and electrolytes (potassium, sodium, and chloride). An IV may allow more than one fluid to be given at the same time and into the same place

During the therapy you will be sitting or laying down in a position that is comfortable to you. The nurse will cleanse the area and insert a needle into your vein.

You may feel a slight prick or pressure but overall it’s quick and generally painless. Once the needle is inserted the IV drop will begin. This is a great time to sit back, relax, listen to music or read a book.

After the session your nurse will remove the needle, at which time you may notice some slight bruising or discomfort at the injection site. This typically goes away quite quickly, but you will notice almost immediately that you feel refreshed, energized and hydrated. Some clients notice a slight headache or mild fatigue before feeling energized as their body is adapting to the rehydration after being dehydrated.
