What are IV infusions?

An IV infusion is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. At the beginning of treatment, your Care Clinic Plus provider carefully inserts a needle into a vein in your arm. The needle connects to a catheter attached to an IV bag. The bag contains an IV drip filled with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

When fluid enters your body through a vein instead of your stomach, it bypasses your digestive system, allowing your cells to access more of the nutritional benefits.

What types of issues can benefit from IV infusions?

Care Clinic Plus uses IV infusions to treat various issues, including:

  • Dehydration
  • Fatigue
  • Jet lag
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Pelvic cramps and other symptoms caused by premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
  • Weakened immunity
  • Obesity
  • Sports injuries

You might also be a candidate for an IV infusion if you have wrinkles or thin skin and want to slow down the natural aging process.

What happens during an IV infusion appointment?

Care Clinic Plus performs IV infusions on-site in their welcoming and spa-like offices.

At the beginning of the appointment, your provider reviews your medical records and asks about your goals.

Next, they have you sit or lie down in a comfortable reclining chair. Your provider cleans and sterilizes your arm and carefully inserts the IV needle into your arm. The IV feeds the solution of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients through the catheter and into your bloodstream.

While you wait, you can read, take a nap, or listen to music. Most IV infusions take 45-60 minutes, and when it’s over, you’re moved to a recovery room for observation. After you’re cleared, you can return to work and other activities right away.

What type of IV infusion will benefit me?
