Infusion Therapy Q&A

​

What is infusion therapy?

Infusion therapy is the practice of delivering hydration, medication, or nutrients directly into your bloodstream. If you’ve ever been in a hospital or emergency room setting, you’re probably familiar with intravenous (IV) infusion therapy.

​

The process involves using a hollow needle to place thin medical tubing into a vein on your hand or wrist. The other end of that tubing connects to a bag containing a mix of saline and other solutions. In medical applications, infusion therapy offers a means of quickly administering medication to the patient’s bloodstream.

​

In wellness settings, infusion therapy, also called IV nutrition or IV hydration therapy, delivers an immediate hydration boost along with carefully balanced nutrients. 

​

What are some of the benefits of IV nutrition therapy?

You might not realize it, but most people move through their days in a state of mild dehydration. This takes a toll on your body over time, but because you get used to moving through each day without adequate hydration, you may not be aware you’re depriving your body. 

​

Infusion therapy delivers instantaneous hydration without having to down bottles of water. You feel the effects right away, and the hydration boost leaves you feeling refreshed and renewed. 

​

Infusion therapy also places a carefully balanced blend of top quality nutrients into your bloodstream without the need to pass through your digestive tract.

​

Some of the benefits that infusion therapy can create include:

• Hangover recovery

• Immune boost

• Glowing skin

• Vitamin enhancement

• Fatigue fighting

• Cognitive clarity

• Workout recovery

• Iron replacement

• Weight loss

• Sleep enhancement

​

There are many different types of infusion treatments to choose from, in addition to B-12 injections and other wellness options. When you come in for your visit, your provider can help you narrow down the choices.

​

Is infusion therapy a painful process?

Even people who hate needles find infusion therapy an easy and painless process. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, placing an IV is a simple and straightforward process. You might feel a slight pinch as the needle enters your skin, but there’s no significant discomfort. 

​

It only takes a minute or two to place your IV and secure the tubing with a small piece of surgical tape. Once your solution is connected to the other end of the tubing, it begins to slowly enter your bloodstream one drip at a time.
