What is intravenous (IV) therapy?
IV therapy is one of the integrative and holistic services available at Prestige Clinicians LLC. It includes the IV infusion of fluids and nutrients directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous access line in your arm.
Even if you eat a balanced diet and take nutritional supplements, your body might not absorb all of the nutrients it needs to function at its best. Plus, there are certain conditions that may benefit from a higher dose of nutrients that you can’t get from food or supplements.
With IV therapy at Prestige Clinicians LLC, your body gets exactly what it needs at the right dose.
Am I a candidate for IV therapy?
The team at Prestige Clinicians LLC determines if you’re a candidate for IV therapy after a consultation. The family medicine practice offers telemedicine appointments to discuss your health and wellness needs and, together, you can determine if IV therapy makes a good choice for you.
However, IV therapy is an in-office treatment.
The team offers IV therapy for rehydration with fluids, as well as therapy that contains fluids plus vitamins, electrolytes, antioxidants, and even medication. The Prestige Clinicians LLC team uses IV therapy to:
- Support your fight against common illnesses
- Reduce pain
- Alleviate fatigue
- Ease seasonal allergy symptoms
Prestige Clinicians LLC also offers monoclonal antibody infusions for those who test positive for COVID-19 and are at risk of developing serious symptoms. This IV therapy treatment may block the virus from entering your cells, reducing the severity of your symptoms and the duration of your illness.
What can I expect during IV therapy?
You can expect patient-centered and comfortable care during your IV therapy at Prestige Clinicians LLC. After determining the right mix of fluids, nutrients, and medications, your provider inserts an IV line in your arm and starts your infusion.
For IV therapy with fluids and nutrients, infusions take an hour or less. You can resume your usual activities after your treatment. You may feel a boost in energy or be more relaxed.
For monoclonal antibody infusions for COVID-19, treatment may take 1-3 hours. The team has you stay at the infusion center for about an hour following your antibody infusion to check for possible reactions, and then sends you home.
