Mobile IV Therapy

2020 is a year we will remember as being full of twists, turns, and surprises. Medically speaking, we’ve all been a witness to the ups and downs of living through a pandemic. We have seen interesting behavior with grocery stores wiped clean of toilet paper, hospitals surging to near capacity, and a potential light at the end of the tunnel with a fast-tracked vaccine. This has been our life for several months and 2020 just keeps coming at us with surprise after surprise.

One surprise that has actually been positive and beneficial, is the new trend of mobile in-home IV services. Staying healthy and attaining a perfect picture of health has never been more important. Let’s explore how mobile in-home IV services work and its benefits. 

What is IV therapy treatment?

IV therapy treatment is the administration of essential vitamins, minerals or other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. You can become immediately hydrated after a long night of drinking or battling a debilitating condition. Intravenous treatment allows for the fastest way for your body to absorb these pertinent nutrients. Your treatment can be customizable to your condition and you might be instantly relieved of any side effects. 

What Are Common Uses for Mobile IV Therapy Treatment?

Having a mobile in-home IV therapy treatment show up at your doorstep is a very convenient way to overcome an illness you might be experiencing. You do not have to worry about driving to a hospital or urgent care, dealing with crowds of other sick people, and waiting long periods of time for treatment. When mobile in-home IV therapy shows up at your home, they can assist with conditions like:

• Nausea: hangovers, motion sickness, food poisoning, morning sickness, vomiting, dehydration, etc.
• Cold and flu
• Illness from long term conditions such as cancer
• Vitamin deficiency
• Altitude sickness
• Boost your overall mood, health, and energy levels
• Athletes: Many athletes use IV therapy treatment to get that extra boost in performance. 

What is in the IV Therapy Treatment?

IV therapy treatment is based on the needs of the patient. Vitamins and minerals provide essential ways for your body to heal and recover. Here is just a sample of what is can be in an IV therapy treatment:

• Vitamin B Complex: Boosts energy, prevents migraines, and reduces stress and anxiety levels. 
• Glutathione: Antioxidant that is essential for boosting your immune system and response. 
• Vitamin C: Helps improve bone health, blood vessels, skin, and immune system. 
• Magnesium: Lowers diabetes risk, reduces anxiety, and helpful for migraine relief. 
• Zinc: Can help reduce the duration of sickness by 40%.

What Are Other Benefits of Mobile IV Services?

The health benefits seem easy to understand. If you feel under the weather or simply need a boost, this is the treatment you can get behind. However, there are still more benefits to mobile in-home IV services. 

First off, price is a huge benefit. If you do not have insurance or have a large deductible, going to the ER for IV treatment will cost you likely near a thousand dollars. Most mobile in-home IV services can serve you at a quarter or less of that cost. 

The second is pure convenience. You do not have to travel. You can stay in the luxury of your own home in the comfort of your own chair. With many people being afraid to be in public due to Covid-19, your exposure is minimal. Hospitals are not just full of Covid-19 patients but there are still other, contagious diseases you could encounter by just showing up to the hospital. 

Lastly, another benefit is time. Once your appointment is scheduled, treatment can take as little as 25 minutes to an hour. Your waiting time at a hospital is at least that. You can wait for your appointment in the comfort of your home and then expect treatment time to be a breeze. 

Are There Risks With Mobile IV Therapy?

As with anything in life (and 2020 for that matter), there are always risks involved with mobile IV services. However, the risks are usually minimal. 

Some risks include bruising or bleeding at the injection site. This can happen whenever you are pricked with a needle. The risk of inflammation at the IV site is also a possibility. Keep in mind that many companies only hire trained professionals and they take the necessary precautions to avoid these risks at all costs. 

Final Thoughts

Mobile IV therapy services are a hot trend for 2020. They provide a quick way to receive convenient relief from dehydration, hangovers, nausea, food poisoning, and so on. The risks are minimal and the benefits are great for those that are suffering from a condition or just want to get that extra boost for the day.
