What is IV Therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is the administration of fluids, nutrients, or medications directly into a patient’s vein using a needle or catheter. It is a common medical technique that allows for rapid delivery of substances into the bloodstream, ensuring quick absorption and effectiveness.

Key Components:

  1. IV Fluids: These can include saline, electrolytes, glucose solutions, or blood products.
  2. Medications: Antibiotics, pain relievers, chemotherapy drugs, and other treatments can be delivered intravenously.
  3. Catheter and Needle: A small, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a vein, often in the arm or hand. This is connected to a bag or syringe containing the fluid or medication.
  4. IV Drip or Push: Fluids can be administered slowly (drip) or simultaneously (push), depending on the medical need.

Diabetes Treatment

Our unique IV insulin infusion therapy is designed to simulate the natural way your body regulates blood sugar levels without added prescriptions or medications.​

How Is City Health Services Better?

Our unique infusion therapy, called Insulin Resistance Reversal Treatment (IRRT), is designed to reduce insulin resistance by addressing the root cause of diabetes instead of masking or suppressing symptoms. We do this by mimicking how the body naturally uses insulin to help control sugar levels.

How Does IRRT Work?

We infuse tiny amounts of insulin in pulses into your bloodstream using an IV connected to a portable “smart” pump that simulates how a healthy pancreas delivers insulin. This natural approach helps retrain the body to be more sensitive to insulin, helping to better control your sugar levels.

Resistance Reversal Treatment (IRRT) Benefits & Goals

Here are some of the benefits of doing IRRT:
  • Insulin is administered more efficiently, addressing the primary cause of diabetes, a metabolic failure.
  • Our therapy reduces insulin resistance by mirroring the natural insulin release of a healthy pancreas, leading to improved cell sugar uptake and better blood sugar control.
  • Restoring energy within the body’s cells promotes the growth, repair, and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. This can reduce complications associated with diabetes and other metabolic disorders, enhancing health and overall quality of life.
  • By effectively regulating blood sugar levels, our therapy prevents or slows diabetic complications such as nerve damage, cardiovascular issues, and kidney problems.
Here are some of the IRRT Treatment Goals:

Improved:

  • Blood sugar
  • Energy
  • Wounds healing
  • Kidney filtration
  • Vision

Why Choose Vitamin IV Therapy Over Oral Supplements?

100% Absorption

IV therapy delivers vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

This means that nutrients are absorbed more quickly and effectively than oral supplementation, which may benefit individuals with impaired digestion or absorption issues.

Rapid Hydration

IV therapy typically includes hydration fluids, vitamins, and minerals, which can help improve hydration status and overall well-being.

This is particularly beneficial for dehydrated individuals or having difficulty maintaining adequate hydration through oral fluids alone.

Higher Doses

IV therapy allows for administering higher doses of vitamins and minerals than oral supplementation.

This can be advantageous for individuals who require high levels of certain nutrients or who cannot achieve therapeutic levels through oral supplementation alone.

Customization

Depending on specific health concerns, symptoms, or goals, IV therapy can be customized to meet individual nutrient needs.

Healthcare providers can tailor the IV formulation by adjusting the types and concentrations of vitamins and minerals to address specific deficiencies or health conditions.

Bypass Gastro-intestinal issues

IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, making it a suitable option for individuals who have difficulty tolerating oral supplementation due to gastrointestinal issues.

This can be advantageous for individuals who experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea when taking oral supplements.

Convenience

IV therapy is convenient for those who prefer receiving multiple nutrients in one session instead of taking numerous pills throughout the day.
