Vitamins and minerals provide the raw materials necessary for our cells to function properly. Usually we can get these nutrients through our diet. However, sometimes even a great diet may not translate to proper nutrition at the cellular level. Causes of this include poor digestion, food sensitivities, chronic inflammation, poor immune function, or any sickness. In a situation where one cannot absorb nutrients fully, IV Therapy is indicated and used.
At SNC, the use of IV Therapy allows medicine, nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, etc., to be infused directly into the veins; bypassing the entire GI system. Trying to ingest the amount of vitamins and minerals, delivered intravenously, is impossible and causes severe GI distress. The physicians at SNC tailor a client’s IV protocol to treat his/her condition. By varying the amounts of additives, numerous conditions can be managed and successfully treated. Some of which include:
- Asthma
- Migraines
- Hepatitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle spasm
- Chronic fatigue
- Upper respiratory infection
- Parkinson’s disease
- Malnutrition
- Anti-aging
- Allergic rhinitis
- Chronic sinusitis
- Acute viral illness
- Herpes outbreaks
- Acute strain or injury
- Coronary artery disease (hypertension)
- Detoxification (including heavy metals)
- Depression
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Immune support to enhance overall well-being
As mentioned, what is in an IV is totally dependent upon the reason for treatment. At SNC, we have clients that undergo IV Therapy for a chronic illness and those that come in regularly for IV therapy to maintain optimal health. If you have any doubt that IV therapy is beneficial, here are 20 reasons to believe!
