Old Town Scottsdale · Physician-Supervised · Under 5 Minutes
The fastest way to get the nutrients your body needs — physician-supervised intramuscular injections, in and out in minutes.
Vitamin injections deliver nutrients directly into muscle tissue through a quick intramuscular (IM) shot. From there, your muscle's rich blood supply absorbs the nutrients steadily — much faster and more completely than swallowing a pill or capsule.
Oral supplements have to survive digestion before your body can use them, and a lot gets lost along the way. An IM injection skips that step entirely, delivering a concentrated dose straight into tissue that's ready to absorb it.
The biggest difference between an IM shot and an IV drip is time. An IV infusion runs 30–60 minutes through a vein and delivers fluid volume plus multiple nutrients at once. An IM injection is a single quick shot completed in under 5 minutes — no chair time, no lounge, just in and out. At Viva IV Therapy, every injection is administered under the supervision of Dr. Jerome Cordova, MD, a board-certified critical care physician.
Both are physician-supervised and effective. The right choice depends on your time and your goals.

Dr. Cordova and our clinical team determine appropriate dosing based on your health history — not a one-size-fits-all shot.
Every injection is administered in a licensed medical clinic with proper sterile technique — not a pop-up counter.
All injections are sourced from licensed pharmacies and administered by trained medical staff under physician oversight.
What's the difference between IM and IV?
An IM (intramuscular) injection delivers vitamins directly into muscle tissue using a quick shot, completed in under 5 minutes. An IV (intravenous) infusion delivers a larger volume of fluid and nutrients directly into the bloodstream over 30–60 minutes. Both bypass the digestive system, but IM shots are faster and more convenient for a single-nutrient boost, while IV drips deliver higher volumes and multiple nutrients plus hydration in one session.
How long do vitamin shots take?
Most vitamin injections at Viva IV Therapy take under 5 minutes from start to finish. There's no lounge time required — you can walk in, get your shot, and be on your way. This makes injections ideal for people with tight schedules who still want the benefits of physician-supervised nutrient delivery.
How often can I get injections?
Frequency depends on the specific injection and your individual needs. Many patients get B12 shots weekly, while others come in every few weeks for a general boost. Dr. Cordova and our clinical team can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your goals during a quick consultation.
Do injections hurt?
Vitamin injections use a small needle and are administered by trained medical staff into muscle tissue, typically the shoulder or hip. Most patients describe it as a quick pinch with minimal discomfort, and it's over in seconds. There is no downtime afterward.
Can I combine multiple shots?
Yes. Many patients combine injections, such as B12 with a Vitamin C shot, or add an injection onto an IV therapy session for an extra boost. Our clinical team will review your health history to confirm which combinations are appropriate for you.
