IV Therapy Benefits
IV therapy replenishes the body's reserves efficiently and effectively, by delivering vital nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for rapid absorption and utilization.
How Does it Work?
At your IV therapy appointment at 8 West Clinic, you can expect a warm welcome from our experienced team of experts. After a thorough consultation to discuss your health goals and any specific concerns, you'll be comfortably seated in our relaxing IV lounge. A registered nurse will then insert a small needle into a vein, typically in your arm, to begin the IV infusion. Throughout the session, you can sit back and relax, perhaps enjoying a book or listening to music, while the IV delivers a customized blend of fluids, vitamins, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
The process is generally painless, and many clients find it to be a pleasant and rejuvenating experience. After the infusion is complete, you'll leave feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to take on the day with renewed energy and vitality.
