What is IV therapy?

IV therapy works by delivering extra fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other substances directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line in your vein. 

When you consume fluids and other nutrients orally, your digestive processes limit how much of the substances your body absorbs. IV therapy bypasses digestion and gives your cells immediate access to essential nutrients.

Wellness by Design offers IV therapy for adults. Dr. Zuniga and his team customize a therapy plan to meet your needs and use the highest quality ingredients to support your health.

When should I consider IV therapy?

You can benefit from the IV therapies available at Wellness by Design if you’re feeling run down because of issues like:

• Stress
• Jet lag
• Hangover
• Dehydration
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Acute illness
• Chronic disease

Dr. Zuniga and his team may also recommend IV therapy as part of your medical weight program, hormone replacement therapy plan, or treatment plan for sexual dysfunction. They determine which nutrients you need based on your symptoms and their severity.

What happens during IV therapy?

During your IV therapy appointment at Wellness by Design, the team helps you get comfortable on an exam table or chair before starting an IV line in one of your veins.

They attach a bag of fluids and nutrients to the IV line. Then, the liquids drip into your bloodstream to quickly rehydrate your tissues and provide the nutrients your cells need to function optimally.

You can relax, read a book, or listen to music throughout your IV infusion. Some people may notice an improvement in their symptoms before their session is over, but it can also take several hours to feel the full effects of IV therapy.

The team disconnects the IV line when your infusion is complete, and you can return to your usual activities right away. Dr. Zuniga discusses how often you can schedule an IV therapy session based on your health and wellness goals.
