Many people are scared of receiving an IV because of the needle. However, the pain is typically minimal given the small size of the catheter/needle. We do offer a topical anesthetic that helps reduce the pain upon insertion of the IV, which is nearly painless. Come on in and try it for yourself. We promise we will take great care of you and make sure you are completely comfortable. Lastly, we are here for you and to make you feel better.

Typically, almost anyone can get an IV. Firstly, your safety is our biggest concern and we do not treat patients with certain medical conditions such as heart failure, chronic kidney disease, cirrhosis, and patient’s who require care beyond our capabilities. Secondly, you are welcome to call our clinic if you have any questions about this. Thirdly, we will take a comprehensive medical history prior to administering any treatments and make sure you are a good candidate for our specific therapies. Lastly, we do administer IV’s to pregnant women but do not recommend giving anti-nausea medications and other medications that could be harmful to your pregnancy. IV fluids are completely safe in most healthy individuals.

Many of the helpful effects from the IV come from rapidly replacing fluids, electrolytes, medications, and vitamins to help you recover. Moreover, this is more rapid than ingesting the ingredients because you bypass the gastrointestinal tract and have a faster rate of absorption and faster effect of the medications. Lastly, It’s amazing how you will feel after your therapy.

Firstly, All our IVs are started by licensed medical professionals including Registered Nurses and Physicians. As a result, you will have an experienced professional administering your IV. We do not currently employee EMTs or Firefighters. We have learned that nurses and physicians are best for the job.

Yes, we can administer oral or intramuscular injections of the medications based on your particular symptoms. These include B12, anti-nausea medications, anti-inflammation medication, and anti-pain medications.

Yes we do! The more people you have in your group the larger of a discount you can receive.

Bruising is not usually common after an IV but can sometimes happen anytime a needle enters the skin. Blood can accumulate under the skin from small amounts of blood leaking outside of the vein. This can sometimes leave a small bruise with discoloration or small hematoma (solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues). Bruising and hematomas usually improve within a few hours to a few days as your body reabsorbs that blood and breaks it down.

We have specific protocols for specific symptoms and treatments. We have a medical director who is a trained physician and is available for any case if needed. Most of our treatment plans are carried our by our nurses who are trained in Viva therapies. We will collaborate with you in finding the best treatment for your symptoms.

Our Treatments at Viva IV Therapy are generally far less expensive than most co-pays, especially if you have a deductible based insurance plan. We offer services at a fraction of the cost compared to the ER and Urgent care. We do accept FSA and HSA accounts for services. We do not offer refunds.
