What is IV therapy?

IV therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that can boost your energy levels, rehydrate your body, and help you recover faster from colds or a hangover. At HealthWell Family Health, Nina Aronov, FNP-BC, and the medical team provide customized intravenous (IV) therapies to optimize your wellness and relieve pain and other bothersome symptoms. Call the office in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York, to learn more about the benefits of IV therapy, or book an appointment online today.

Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients directly into your bloodstream.

When you take vitamins and other nutrients orally, they must first pass through your digestive system. Digestive processes can limit how much of the nutrients your body absorbs. IV infusions ensure your body receives the full benefit of these nutrients, so you can function at your best.

HealthWell Family Health offers a range of IV infusion therapies in-office to support your health and wellness. Based on your symptoms and health needs, your IV infusion may contain ingredients like:

Zinc
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Magnesium
B-Complex vitamin

The medical team may also recommend glutathione, an antioxidant that reduces cell damage from free radicals. Glutathione can also ease inflammation and support the removal of toxins from your body and excess fat from your liver.

What happens during IV therapy?

During your IV therapy session at HealthWell Family Health, the team helps you get comfortable before they start an IV line in your arm. They connect the IV line to a bag that contains a customized blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients. The solution slowly drips directly into your bloodstream, so your body can use the nutrients immediately. You might feel an increase in your energy levels and a decrease in pain and other bothersome symptoms before your IV treatment is complete. Many people enjoy the benefits of IV therapy for several hours or days after their appointment. The medical team can determine how often you might benefit from additional IV therapies depending on your health and wellness goals.
