Intravenous (IV) therapies have become a staple in wellness circles — and for good reason. The treatments, which deliver a carefully crafted blend of essential vitamins and minerals, can improve moods, support healthier skin, and increase energy levels.
IV hydration therapies can also be tailored to fix specific deficiencies, making them a potential solution for chronic problems like migraines, dehydration and fatigue.
But how do these treatments work? And are they really as effective as promised? In this article, Pro Health Clinic explains how IV therapies can help treat various conditions, and what you should know before booking a session.
IV Therapy and Migraines
Migraines can be debilitating, even for those with high pain thresholds. The attacks are characterized by intense throbbing headaches, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. What’s worse? There is no cure for the neurological disorder.
Recently, however, IV therapy has shown promising results in helping control migraine symptoms — and, in many cases, offer immediate pain relief. The treatment delivers essential vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, easing many of the most common migraine symptoms. The therapy may also contain medications like anti-nausea drugs or pain relievers which further speeden recovery.
With that said, there is no standardized migraine cocktail that fixes the issue. Each medical provider will likely have their own unique formulations. At Pro Health Clinic, we offer clients across Memphis access to a Migraine Fighting Infusion. This formulation contains magnesium, glutathione, and a non-narcotic pain reliever called Toradol to effectively combat migraine symptoms.
Besides this, the popular Myers’ Cocktail has also been known to help prevent further attacks, and reduce the severity of migraines.
IV Therapy for Hangovers
Alcohol is rarely as fun in the morning as it was the night before. In most cases, the biggest culprit for the throbbing headache, or uneasy stomach is dehydration.
Your body loses a lot of electrolytes and nutrients when you drink — often building up into a hangover that often lasts for several hours. A few ways to deal with this include getting a lot of rest, consistently hydrating, and eating proper meals.
But if you don’t have the luxury of time, you can turn to IV therapies for a quicker fix. The Pro Health Clinic Hangover Cure IV, for example, addresses many hangover symptoms directly and effectively.
It contains fluids that quickly rehydrate the body, B complex vitamins that remove the alcohol and its byproducts, and medications that relieve nausea, headaches, and acid reflux. We also administer the treatment in a dim room with a TV and WiFi so you can sit back and relax until you feel better.
IV Therapy for Fatigue
Fatigue is a common condition with symptoms that are often misunderstood or underplayed. Many mistake it for general tiredness, but chronic fatigue usually stems from deeper issues than a lack of sleep — issues like stress, insomnia, or inactivity. A healthy diet also plays a part in giving the body the nourishment required to stay active.
While fixing these underlying issues should always be a priority, IV therapy can help combat fatigue in multiple ways. Specialized cocktails may contain concentrated doses of B vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals like magnesium, all of which boost energy levels.
The Myers’ Cocktail is also recommended to fight long-term lethargy, while Pro Health Clinic’s IV Hydration options help athletes recover from fatigue after intense workouts. We can even create a custom formulation to target your deficiencies and boost recovery.
Final Thoughts
There is no single IV treatment that can fix all issues, but today’s cocktails and formulations can be tailored to combat many chronic symptoms. If you’re looking for a solution for regular migraines, fatigue, or simply to bounce back after a hangover, feel free to contact the Pro Health team for a consultation. You can also walk into any of our five clinics in the Memphis area without a prior appointment.
