IV Therapy
Intravenous Therapy (IV) is a way to introduce nutrients and therapeutic agents at high concentrations directly into the bloodstream using sterile solutions.
IV therapy is used to support acute, chronic, and severe illness with a broad range of applications and symptom support. It can also be used to support patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments as well as detoxification protocols.
An intravenous therapy treatment usually takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the concentration of the fluid. Your naturopathic doctor may recommend a single IV or multiple sessions over multiple months. The number of ingredients, their doses and the number of sessions required will vary from patient to patient, depending on what you are experiencing and your desired outcome.
Initial consultation appointments allow for a review of medical history, recommended treatments and frequency and a discussion around any questions that you might have before moving forward with treatment.
Our IV treatments are administered in a pleasant relaxing atmosphere while you read, listen to music, or chat with others.
