IV Therapy: Explained

IV therapy involves the administration of fluids, nutrients, or medications directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. Our trained healthcare professional inserts a thin needle into a vein and places a plastic tube (catheter), allowing substances to be delivered swiftly. During IV therapy in Walnut Creek, Napa, and Atherton, CA, you can expect a sense of mild pressure as the needle goes in, followed by a sensation of coolness as the fluids enter your veins. Depending on the purpose, IV therapy can benefit you in various scenarios. After intense physical exertion, receiving an IV drip with electrolytes can swiftly rehydrate your body and restore balance.
