Yes, IV vitamin therapy is a safe and effective method to replenish fluids and nutrients in the body. IV therapy has been utilized for over 50 years and was developed by Dr. John Myers (the Myer’s cocktail). All our vitamins are FDA approved and go through high levels of testing before they are made available to our clients. All IV drips are administered by a licensed registered nurse or nurse practitioner. Before any client receives IV therapy we evaluate their health history, medication/ supplements, vital signs and overall goals/ issues.

Most people can benefit from IV hydration and Vitamin Injections, however, We do not treat minors under 18 years of age as well as pregnant women. Certain medical conditions such as heart, liver or kidney problems can also disqualify you from receiving these treatments. Patients undergoing chemotherapy are also not eligible to receive IV hydration unless authorized by your oncologist and consultation is scheduled prior. Your medical history and vital signs will be reviewed and assessed prior to beginning treatment at Wholeistic Wellness to ensure that you are a candidate for IV hydration therapy.

After your appointment is confirmed, you’ve filled out all necessary intake forms, and you arrive at the clinic, you will take a seat and relax in a recliner chair. A professional team member will then take your vital signs and inform you of any potential side effects prior to beginning your treatment. A small IV catheter will then be placed into the vein and the saline solution and vitamins are then infused into the bloodstream.

When an IV needle is placed, it can cause some slight discomfort. You may feel a small sting or pinch for a few seconds when the needle is inserted in your arm or hand. If you're particularly sensitive to needles, you may ask for a numbing cream, so you don't feel the needle.

Most of our IV infusions can last up to 30-60 minutes depending on your vein, IV catheter size, and your health history.

The frequency of treatment will depend on your individual health. For preventative health and wellness, most clients begin with 1-2 infusions per month to help balance vitamin and hydration levels. Most IM shots (Vitamin Boost Injection) will require weekly sessions to maintain the results.

No, we do not accept insurance. All services are cash pay and clients will be responsible for the cost of services. We also accept HSA/FSA cards.

Yes, you can receive an IV infusion and a Vitamin Boost injection on the same day!

No, do not substitute the emergency room for IV hydration. If you are severely sick or dehydrated, please see your primary care provider or visit the nearest emergency room. Wholeistic Wellness will not serve severely dehydrated or visibly intoxicated clients.

Many people do not absorb vitamins in their digestive tract very well. For those dealing with digestive issues such as constipation, crohn's disease, celiac disease, IBS it can be helpful to bypass the digestive tract and go directly to the bloodstream for high absorption at the cellular level.

No, IV hydration is not the same as drinking 8 glasses of water a day, it's BETTER! Not only is it more hydration, but you are also receiving essential vitamins and nutrients at the cellular level. Although oral hydration is beneficial, the tissues in the throat and the digestive system receive most of the fluid. But what about the rest of the body? IV hydration supplements your ENTIRE body to help you feel like your optimal self. Any multifaceted individual with limited time will benefit from this service.

While there is no significant downtime after IV therapy or a vitamin injection, it is important to take care of the injection/IV site and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. This will help your body absorb the vitamins and flush out any toxins in your body. Be sure to keep the injection/IV site clean in order to prevent infection at the site.
