IV Therapy Q & A

What is IV therapy?

IV therapy replenishes fluid levels, restores essential nutrients, and optimizes the body’s functions. Fusion Primary Care and Wellness offers comprehensive IV therapy services, tailoring each patient’s treatment plan to meet their needs.

IV therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals straight into your bloodstream using an intravenous (IV) line. This direct delivery method lets your body rapidly absorb the infusion by bypassing the digestive system.

Anything you eat or drink must pass through your gastrointestinal tract, which extracts nutrients. However, your body can’t always harvest all the nutrients, so they pass through unused. This problem is worse if you have a digestive disorder or other health problem that affects nutrient absorption.

With IV therapy, your blood receives the nutrients immediately, so you don’t miss out on any of them.

What benefits does IV therapy offer?

IV therapy offers several significant benefits, including:


Hydration

IV therapy rehydrates your body quickly and effectively. This is particularly beneficial if you become dehydrated due to illness, excessive heat, or intense physical activity.


Nutrient replenishment

IV therapy transfers nutrients directly to your cells, ensuring optimal nutrient levels. This helps boost your energy levels, supports immune system function, and improves your overall well-being.


Fast-acting symptom relief

IV therapy ensures rapid results because the nutrients go directly into your bloodstream.


Customization

IV therapy is customizable to meet your particular needs. Fusion Primary Care and Wellness providers tailor the infusion to support specific health problems like diabetes, address deficiencies, or enhance your athletic performance.

What does IV therapy involve?

IV therapy sessions take place in Fusion Primary Care and Wellness’s comfortable infusion suites. The infusion goes into your bloodstream through a needle and a slim, flexible tube (cannula) inserted in an arm vein.

Session length varies depending on your treatment plan, so it could take 30 minutes to several hours. You can read, use your smartphone or other mobile device, or just relax during this time.

Fusion Primary Care and Wellness follows strict guidelines to ensure patients’ safety and comfort during IV treatments. The treatment is safe for most people, and you undergo a thorough consultation beforehand to review your medical history, identify contraindications (reasons you shouldn’t proceed), and evaluate your specific needs.
