Which IV Therapy Is Best For Your Recovery Type?
In recent years, the role of intravenous (IV) therapy has shifted. While it is historically associated with hospitals, functional medicine practitioners use infusion therapy to help patients heal and optimize their wellness from a variety of conditions.
The types of patients who receive IV therapy are as diverse as the treatment itself; one person may be recovering from an acute illness while another is battling chronic fatigue. So, how do you know which type of infusion is right for you?
Let’s explore IV therapy more, starting with a definition, then delve further into how intravenous therapy can help a variety of conditions.
Why Is IV Therapy a Treatment in Functional Medicine?
It is important to know that functional medicine takes a holistic, whole body approach to health care. This means that practitioners consider the entire person’s well-being, regardless of how localized their symptoms are. They also think about the effects conditions may cause, like the domino effect of an upper respiratory infection on someone’s cognition, immunity, and energy levels.
By directly administering vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream, IV infusions are absorbed rapidly and do not need time to pass through the digestive system. This allows for higher concentrations of nutrients to reach the bloodstream, which in turn leads to more impactful benefits and longer results.
IV Therapy as a Holistic Approach
IV therapy can treat a variety of conditions. The practitioner can customize each infusion to suit a person’s unique needs and characteristics, such as their energy levels, medical history, and treatment goals.
Through a preliminary blood panel, your provider can identify what nutrient deficiencies you may have, then craft a custom IV perfectly tailored to your needs.
Our IV Drips Are Designed for Different Needs but Focus on What Every Body Wants
Although we each have our unique genetic makeups and health needs, everybody needs the same things to survive and thrive. This includes essential vitamins like A, C, and the B complex, as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc, all of which are found in a traditional Myer’s Cocktail.
For some of our IVs we’ll complete blood work as part of our preliminary process, to ensure we identify precisely what your body needs the most. We then consider which infusions could have the greatest impact based on your medical history and any current conditions you may have.
