What is IV therapy?

IV therapy administers a potent blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream. Dispensing the nutrients intravenously allows them to bypass your digestive system, resulting in greater uptake by your cells.

For example, when you take a supplement orally, your body only absorbs about 50% of its properties. But when you take supplements intravenously, your body absorbs about 90%. A higher concentration of nutrients results in lasting treatment outcomes and improved results.

What types of issues can benefit from IV therapy?

The Higher Care Clinic (Thc2) uses IV therapy to:

• Increase overall hydration
• Boost energy and athletic performance
• Prevent illness
• Enhance the immune system
• Detoxify the body
• Battle chronic fatigue
• Combat malnutrition

You might also benefit from IV therapy if you frequently travel for work and experience jet lag.

What happens during an IV therapy visit?

At The Higher Care Clinic, an IV therapy visit begins with a review of your medical charts and a discussion of your symptoms and treatment goals. After gathering that information, your provider may complete a physical exam and order lab work, including blood tests and urinalysis, to analyze your hormone and nutritional levels.

Your provider uses the results of the tests to create a customized IV drip that aligns with your needs. Your provider mixes the IV solution onsite and administers it during the same appointment.

How long does IV therapy take?

At The Higher Care Clinic, IV therapy takes between 45-60 minutes. During treatment, you sit or lie down in a comfortable reclining chair. You can listen to music, watch TV, read a book, or take a nap. Once you finish your drip, after about 15 minutes, you can leave the office and return to work and other routine activities. 

Is IV therapy safe?

IV therapy is safe and usually well-tolerated. At The Higher Care Clinic, all IVs are administered by a qualified professional under the guidance of a licensed medical director. The providers use only the highest quality vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
