IV Therapy Q&A

What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is a treatment used to infuse fluids, medications, or nutrients into your bloodstream. The treatment allows your body to absorb and utilize such substances, so you can feel better as quickly as possible. Clinica Medica Hispana tailors each IV therapy treatment to your personalized needs and health goals.

What is in  IV therapy?

You might need IV therapy because of dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, an illness, pain, fatigue, a chronic disease, or a hangover. IV therapy also assists in helping you achieve and maintain your goal weight.  

What are the benefits of IV therapy?

IV therapy offers numerous benefits for your health and well-being. It can reduce pain, energize you, hydrate you, strengthen your immune system, and allow you to recover faster after being ill. It may also reduce your risk of severe medical conditions, improve your athletic performance, and correct or prevent nutritional deficiencies. 

Is IV therapy right for me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for IV therapy at Clinica Medica Hispana, your specialist weighs you, checks your blood pressure and other vital signs, and completes a physical exam to evaluate your health. You may need a blood test, urine test, or another diagnostic test to determine if you’re a candidate for IV therapy.

What happens during IV therapy?

During treatment, you rest comfortably in a reclining chair. Your provider inserts a very fine needle into one of your veins and infuses fluids and medicine or nutrients into your blood. During the treatment, you can rest, take a nap, read, listen to music, or talk on the phone. Each IV therapy session might last 15-60 minutes, depending on your needs.

What should I expect after IV infusions?

After you receive IV therapy at Clinica Medica Hispana, you might feel better immediately, with continuous improvements in your health appearing during the next few hours, days, and weeks. The Clinica Medica Hispana team lets you know when to schedule your next IV therapy session to maximize its benefits.
