IV Therapy

A diet rich in nutrients is an excellent way to give your body the nourishment and fuel it needs to truly thrive and function at its best. However, when the body has difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals, IV therapy may help. Volrick Morrison, DO, and Katherine Martinez, APRN, FNP-BC, and the team offer personalized IV therapy at Atlantic Health Medical Associates in North Miami Beach and Coral Springs, Florida. Call the nearest clinic today or schedule an appointment online to learn more about the benefits of IV therapy services.

What is IV therapy?

To function at peak levels, your body needs essential vitamins and minerals from foods, but getting those nutrients through food sources might not always be effective or efficient. 

While a healthy, balanced diet full of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is the ideal way to meet daily nutritional needs, it isn’t always practical with a busy lifestyle. Some people also have health conditions that might affect their ability to consume certain nutrients. 

Some people like to take oral supplements to add more nutrition to their diet. However, many researchers have found that a significant portion of those capsules and pills completely pass through the digestive system without being broken down by the body. That means your body might not be absorbing the nutrients it needs from supplementation. 

IV therapy offers the opportunity to get quality, customized nutrients delivered directly into your bloodstream. These nutrients are immediately accessible to your body, allowing it to be used right away. 

What are the types of IV therapy available?

Glutathione is an essential antioxidant for helping the body detoxify environmental toxins and free radicals (which lead to aging skin), encouraging a brighter complexion and a more youthful appearance. 

How does IV therapy work?

Your provider at Atlantic Health Medical Associates customizes your IV cocktail based on your health concerns and goals. They offer several options to meet virtually every set of needs. 

While you’ll rest comfortably in the treatment chair, your provider places a needle into a vein in your arm with a thin medical tube attached. They remove the needle, leaving the tubing in place and secure it with a small piece of tape. The tubing is connected to the IV therapy bag that holds your individualized nutrient blend. 

You can sleep or enjoy entertainment on your phone during your IV therapy session. After the session, you can return to your normal activities.
