March Back Into Health

IVs aren’t just for sick people in the hospital. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor can help you stay healthy and perhaps prevent a trip to the hospital by providing IV therapy right in the doctor’s office.

This unique therapy allows your body to receive high-quality nutrients, amino acids, and vitamins without delay. A liquid solution goes directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to distribute those nutrients to cells right away. Think of it as a wellness shot that gives your body exactly what it needs without the wait that comes with supplements.

Who Needs IV Therapy?

Anyone interested in enhancing their health and wellbeing may benefit from IV therapy. There are different types of therapies offered for varying health goals. Your naturopathic doctor can discuss each option offered at your Vancouver clinic to ensure you get the best therapy for your body’s needs.

You may benefit the most from this type of therapy if one or more of the following statements apply to you:

  • You want to boost your immune system to prevent illness.
  • You’re interested in improving and maintaining your overall health.
  • You need to recover from a hangover quickly.
  • You’re an athlete or otherwise need to recover quickly from intense physical activity.
  • You want to nourish your body for a more radiant skin appearance.

Vitamin IV therapies and shots are commonly used to help with everything from hangovers to sore muscles. There are other types of therapies available for different medical needs, and you can even customize a wellness shot or injection therapy if needed.

The Power of the Wellness Shot

Wellness shots can contain a variety of ingredients with high nutritional value. The shots enter the bloodstream quickly and are delivered to cells for rapid uptake. The goal is to hydrate, nourish, and support in the short term for improved health and wellbeing.

Many naturopathic clinics offer a standard wellness shot plus the option to create a custom wellness shot with the guidance of a licensed naturopathic doctor. The custom shots are designed to meet the unique health and wellness needs of an individual patient. They may cost a bit more, but they’re worth the investment if you have long-term health goals to meet.

You can receive a wellness shot in as little as 10 minutes, so it doesn’t take up much of your day. The best results come from consistent IV therapy over time.

A Note on Home Injury Prevention

Before we leave you to consider IV therapy in Vancouver, we want to touch on home injury prevention for the elderly. In addition to ensuring your older loved ones have the physical support they need to move around the home, it’s important to strengthen their immune systems and nourish their bodies.

IV therapy is extremely useful for some senior citizens. It provides continuous nourishment and hydration for aging muscles and joints, which may help prevent falls over time. Healthy meals consisting of nutrient-dense foods will help as well.
