IV therapy is a popular functional medicine therapy that Dr. Kirk uses to get vital nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream. The goal of IV therapy is to replenish what your body needs to function at its very best. Some of the conditions IV therapy helps are:
- Chronic fatigue
- Connective Tissue Disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Colds and flu
- Cancer
- Essential tremors
- Parkinson’s disease
- Lyme Disease
- Epstein Barr Virus
- Asthma
- Fibromyalgia
- Hashimoto’s
- Thyroiditis
IV therapy perfectly complements other functional medicine services and holistic approaches offered at Brazos Integrative Medicine.
IV therapy allows you to get bigger doses of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants than you could get from oral supplements. Another important aspect of IV therapy over oral solutions is that the nutrition completely bypasses your gastrointestinal processes and goes directly to your bloodstream so your body can put it to immediate use.
The intake of high doses of vitamins and minerals through an IV helps to:
- Boost your immune system
- Speed recovery from illness
- Give you energy
- Improve acne, eczema, and skin tone
- Reduce inflammation
- Minimize allergies
- Relieve chronic pain
- Decrease inflammation
Athletes frequently use IV therapy for muscle recovery and enhanced performance.
