IV Therapy

What is it?

IV (intravenous) therapy is a medical treatment in which vitamins and fluids are administered directly into a vein through a thin, flexible tube called an IV catheter. IV therapy allows for deliver vitamins and fluids directly to the bloodstream, which allows them to take effect more quickly than if they were taken by mouth.

Why we love it?

Improved absorption: IV vitamins bypass the digestive system and are directly absorbed into the bloodstream, which allows for more efficient absorption and utilization of the vitamins.
Higher concentrations: IV vitamins can be administered at higher concentrations than what can be taken by mouth, which can be beneficial for individuals with certain nutrient deficiencies or health conditions.
Quicker delivery: IV vitamins are delivered directly to the bloodstream, which allows for quicker delivery to the body's cells and tissues.

What to expect at your visit?

Consultation: Before beginning treatment, you will have a consultation with a medical team member to discuss the reason for seeking IV treatment. You will be asked to sign a consent form.
Preparation: Before the IV is inserted, the medical team member will clean the area on your arm or hand. The health team member will then insert the IV into a vein in your arm or hand. The needle portion will be removed and the IV catheter will remain in place. The IV catheter is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into the vein through a pediatric size needle. The medical team member will administer the vitamins through the IV catheter. The treatment may take a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the specific treatment being administered.
After the treatment: After the treatment is complete, the medical team member will remove the IV and cover the area with a bandage. You may experience some discomfort or bruising at the site of the IV insertion, but this should resolve within a few hours to days. Some find they feel energized and rejuvenated after their session, while others may feel more relaxed.

Vitamin Injections

LightStim LED Bed

What is it?

The Lightstim bed is a type of light therapy that uses LED lights to deliver wavelengths of light to the body. Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation often used for skin rejuvenation, muscle relaxation, and pain management. Lightstim’s patented multi-wave technology earned the FDA’s clearance to ensure safety and efficacy in human use.

Why we love it?

Reduces inflammation: When our body is struggling with inflammation it can slow down our healing process. Lightstim therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation. For example, a study published in the journal Lasers in Medical Science found that red LED light therapy reduced inflammation in people with osteoarthritis (DOI: 10.1007/s10103-015-1767-0).
Improving skin health: Are you looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles or acne? Red LED light therapy has been shown to improve skin health and texture. For example, a study published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery found that red LED light therapy improved the appearance of wrinkles in people with aging skin (DOI: 10.1097/DSS.0000000000001590).
Reduces pain: Too many people today suffer through life with sore joints and muscle pain. Red LED light therapy has been shown to reduce pain and muscle soreness. For example, a study published in the journal Photomedicine and Laser Surgery found that red LED light therapy reduced pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (DOI: 10.1089/pho.2018.4305).

What to expect at your visit

Consultation: Before your initial Lightstim bed therapy session, you will have a brief consultation with a team member to discuss your questions or any concerns you may have.

After the session: After the Lightstim LED bed therapy session, you will be helped by our team to remove the pro-panel and eye covers. You will then slowly get up, use the towel to remove any excess moisture and get dressed.

Cryotherapy

What is it?

Cryotherapy is a highly effective three minute treatment that involves the use of subzero temperatures to help heal a number of medical conditions. Liquid nitrogen and cold air are used to achieve -200°F to -300°F (-129°C and -184°C) .

Why we love it?

Improves mood: Do you often find yourself feeling overworked and overwhelmed? Good news, cryotherapy has been known to help improve mood and reduce stress. For example, a study published in the journal Cryobiology found that cryotherapy improved mood and reduced stress in individuals (DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2013.03.001).
Boosts the immune system: Over the last couple of years we have all been looking for ways to avoid getting sick. Did you know that cryotherapy has been shown to boost the immune system. For example, a study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity found that cryotherapy increased the production of immune cells in individuals (DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2013.05.014).
Enhances physical performance: Wether you’re an athlete on the field or in the work force, we all want to operate at peak performance. Cryotherapy has been shown to enhance physical performance.

Hyperbaric Chamber

What is it?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which a person breathes pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure helps to force more oxygen into the tissues of the body, which can help to promote healing and prevent tissue damage. HBOT is typically used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning, wounds that are slow to heal, burns and much more. It may also be used to treat certain types of infections, reduce inflammation, and increase cognitive function.
