IV therapy is a straightforward procedure. Regardless of the type of IV therapy you are receiving, you can expect the process to be pretty uniform, safe and easy. The nurse administering the therapy will talk you through the procedure. Generally, you will be seated somewhere comfortable for the duration of the therapy. The nurse will disinfect the injection site and place a needle directly in a vein. The IV will typically be placed in the arm, but it is possible to be placed elsewhere.
Once the IV is inserted, the nurse will check the pump to ensure the rate of delivery is correct. IV therapy can be delivered via a manual pump or an electronic pump. The fluid drips through the catheter and enters your body. Once inside your body, the fluid from the IV bag is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method typically delivers medication faster than oral administration. During IV therapy, you need to keep still, so you do not disturb or dislodge the catheter. There is a requirement remaining in place and still during the session. You are welcome to view TV, read or use and electronic device during the session.
What Are The Benefits Of IV Infusion Therapy?
IV therapy can be beneficial for many different people for different reasons. Two of the primary benefits for anyone who wants to try IV therapy include:
Easy and convenient: For many common symptoms, IV therapy is an easy and convenient option. IV therapy is not a complicated procedure. When you visit our office you will pick a comfortable spot, and we will do the rest. The insertion of the IV is relatively painless, just a small pinch. After it is inserted, you should feel very little discomfort. The IV drip will do its job while you watch TV, read or work on your mobile device.
Health and wellness: For the most part, IV therapy is used to promote health and wellness. The infusion of fluids, vitamins and minerals can help support a healthy immune system, promote healthy skin and keep you hydrated. The right balance of vitamins and minerals in the body can also help improve your energy levels.
Post Covid-19 Symptoms: According to the Mayo Clinic and this report on long term effects of Covid-19, some people, even those with mild versions of the disease – continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery. Sometimes described as “long Covid-19”, the symptoms may persist for more than four weeks. These symptoms are not only limited to older people, but even young, otherwise healthy people. These lingering symptoms may cause people to feel unwell for weeks to months after infection. Common signs and symptoms that linger overtime include:
Fatigue
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Cough
Joint pain
Chest pain
Memory, concentration or sleep problems.
Muscle pain or headache
Depression or anxiety
Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time, but research is ongoing. Researchers recommend that doctors closely monitor people who have had COVID-19 to see how their organs are functioning after recovery.
Brandon Medical Center offers a number of IV Therapy Services as well as wellness injections & Low-T Therapy, that can help to alleviate some of these symptoms and help you to restore your energy and vitality.

This process can take longer, but will typically require 45 minutes to an hour of your time. Some IV therapies can be done relatively quickly, while others will take longer. NAD+ Will take 2 hours.
