IV Therapy Chicago
Feel Better Quicker with IV Medical infusions and Vitamin Therapy.
Intravenous (IV) hydration therapy is a minimally invasive medically safe procedure to deliver intravenous fluid, electrolytes, vitamins, antioxidants and additional supplements directly into the blood stream.
It is the most efficient and effective method for the body to receive vital nutrients. Nutrient deficiency is common, and risk factors include aging, stress, smoking, diet, altered gut microbiome, systemic inflammation, and pollution. Symptoms of nutrient deficiency include fatigue, pale skin, hair loss, constipation, brain fog, depression/anxiety, decreased libido, and unusual food cravings. The effect of these deficiencies occurs in the mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of each cell.

What is your Success Rate?

Every patient is different, and while we cannot guarantee success, we use a scientifically based approach using our training and experience to customize a safe and reasonable treatment plan.
There are a number of factors to be taken into account for the improvement in health and wellness:
- Pre-treatment baseline nutrient levels- patients with very low levels and multiple deficiencies typically respond well
- Patient commitment (patients who successfully integrate the regimen consistently achieve desired outcomes more quickly and maintain a consistent level of health and well being. Commitment also refers to follow up visits with scheduled lab testing
- Participating in diet plans and exercise as prescribed, as well as practicing sleep hygiene, stress management, and taking recommended supplements if applicable.
What can I Expect on the First Visit?
A board-certified physician will spend about 30 minutes in a collaborative setting, discussing your reason for visiting, symptoms, and taking a detailed medical history and a physical exam. Laboratory tests may be ordered to obtain baseline information on your overall health and nutritional health. At the end of your consultation, you and your physician will determine the preliminary course of treatment. A comprehensive treatment plan will be discussed with you based on your history.
