Mountain Mobile IV
What is intravenous therapy (IV therapy)?
IV treatment is the process of feeding hydration and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, quickly restoring your body’s deficiencies. While IV Infusions are not meant to be a substitute for eating nutritious foods, they serve as a supplement or alternative solution to quickly rehydrate and replenish nutrients, restoring the body.
Who can benefit from IV therapy?
IV therapy can benefit individuals of ages 12 and up seeking to improve energy, enhance athletic recovery, boost hydration, manage chronic pain, address nutrient deficiencies, or support overall wellness.
What is the advantage of IV hydration?
Ingested vitamins and nutrients are subject to the absorption barrier in the gastrointestinal tract. IV drips introduce fluids and essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream which yields the highest absorption since they bypass the GI tract.
How long does IV therapy take?
The time varies based on the vein size, the type of nutrients, and the amount of fluid. We typically use 1000mL IV solution bags which generally take 45-60 minutes. The flow rate can be adjusted faster or slower to ensure you’re comfortable.
How fast will I feel the effects?
IV delivery is the fastest most efficient way to deliver vitamins and minerals into our bodies. Oftentimes you’ll feel the benefit by the time you finish treatment. Typically the more deficient and unbalanced your system, the greater and more immediate effect you’ll feel. Each individual is unique, and some may not feel the effects for a day or two.
How long do the effects last?
This also varies based on the individual and physical health status. The noticeable effects typically last 2-4 days; however, the underlying clinical benefits can continue beyond that.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Make sure you drink plenty of water before your appointment. This helps make your veins pronounced and makes the catheter easier to insert. It may also help to have a light meal prior to your IV Therapy treatment.
Do you accept insurance?
Unfortunately, no we do not accept insurance at this time. We do, however, accept HSA & FSA cards.
