IV therapy is a process that delivers fluids, minerals, and vitamins directly into the bloodstream. At West Root Care, our IV therapy treatments are designed for optimal absorption, offering a range of benefits. These include boosted energy levels, faster recovery after surgery, improved sleep, enhanced strength before athletic events, muscle recovery post-exercise, stress reduction, and strengthened immune support.
All IV treatments are carefully designed and administered by our trained medical providers (physicians). Before treatment, a physician will conduct an initial consultation to review your medical history and help determine the most suitable treatment option for you.
Every patient is different. In general, the higher the levels of imbalance in the body, the more noticeable the effect. However, if you don’t feel anything immediately, this doesn’t mean the therapy isn’t beneficial.

For those with a fear of needles, we also have some tricks to help minimize any discomfort while gaining IV access.
Depending on a patient’s specific needs, treatments can take anywhere from just a few minutes, up to a few hours.
