IV Therapy

What are the Benefits of IV Therapy?

General Benefits of IV Therapy:

IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, delivers fluids, nutrients, vitamins, and medications directly into the bloodstream. It has a variety of potential health benefits, depending on the specific ingredients used in the infusion. Here are some of the key benefits:

Immediate Hydration: IV therapy quickly replenishes fluids, helping to combat dehydration caused by illness, exercise, or insufficient water intake.
Increased Nutrient Absorption: Nutrients delivered directly into the bloodstream bypass the digestive system, allowing for better absorption and immediate utilization by the body.
Detoxification Support: IV fluids can help flush toxins from the body, promoting better kidney and liver function, and assisting in detox processes.
Recovery and Performance Enhancement: Athletes use IV therapy to replenish electrolytes, reduce muscle soreness, and speed up recovery after intense physical exertion.
Enhanced Skin Health: Some IV infusions include antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration that can improve skin appearance, texture, and elasticity.
Headache and Migraine Relief: IV fluids with electrolytes and medications can help alleviate the symptoms of dehydration-related headaches or migraines.
Improved Mental Clarity: IV therapy may boost cognitive function, improve focus, and reduce brain fog by delivering essential nutrients directly to the bloodstream.
Better Sleep and Relaxation: Certain formulations with magnesium or amino acids like glutamine can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

NAD+ IV

(300mg and 750mg options)

What are the potential benefits of NAD+?

Boosts Energy Levels: NAD+ plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, potentially helping to combat fatigue and increase overall vitality.
Enhances Mental Clarity and Focus: improve cognitive function, helping with concentration, memory, and mental clarity.
Supports Anti-Aging: NAD+ is involved in DNA repair and the maintenance of cell health, potentially slowing the effects of aging at the cellular level.
Improves Mood and Reduces Stress: It may support the production of serotonin and other neurotransmitters that regulate mood and emotional balance.
Promotes Metabolism and Fat Burning: NAD+ is essential for the function of mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, and may enhance metabolic processes, helping with weight management and fat burning.
Boosts Athletic Performance and Recovery: Some studies suggest NAD+ can improve endurance, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed up recovery after physical exertion.
Supports Detoxification: By enhancing mitochondrial function, NAD+ may help improve detoxification processes in the body.
Helps with Addiction Recovery: NAD+ IV therapy is sometimes used as part of addiction recovery, as it may help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Improves Sleep: By supporting the body's natural circadian rhythms, NAD+ therapy may help regulate sleep patterns and improve the quality of rest.
Supports Immune System Health: NAD+ helps maintain optimal cell function, potentially supporting a healthy immune system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What To Expect:

How Often Should I Get Vitamin IVs?

What are the Benefits of IV Therapy?

Are there Restrictions for IV therapy?

Not every patient may be eligible for an IV; however, Dr. Alison is available to answer any clarifying questions. Please discuss any pre-existing medical conditions with the provider including pregnancy, bleeding disorders, allergies/ sensitivities and chronic conditions. Contraindications may include kidney disease, some cardiac conditions and some lung disease such as COPD. You may be asked to get blood work prior to your IV if you have not had recent labs to make sure you can break down certain nutrients and to assess kidney function.

What are the risks of IV therapy?

While IV therapy can offer many benefits, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Here are some of the main risks associated with IV therapy:

Infection At the Injection Site: If the IV is not inserted in a sterile manner, there’s a risk of infection at the insertion site.

Phlebitis and Infiltration Inflammation of the vein where the IV is placed, which can cause redness, swelling, and pain. Infiltration: If the IV catheter becomes dislodged, the fluid or medication can leak into the surrounding tissue, potentially causing swelling and discomfort.

Allergic Reactions: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the ingredients in the IV solution or the medications used, leading to symptoms like rash, hives, or difficulty breathing.

Electrolyte Imbalances

Overhydration or Underhydration: Receiving too much or too little fluid can disrupt your body’s balance of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, leading to complications such as swelling, dizziness, or even heart arrhythmias.
Excessive Nutrient Intake: Overloading the body with high doses of nutrients (like vitamin C or B12) can cause side effects such as nausea, headaches, or diarrhea.

Blood Clots The catheter or needle in the vein can increase the risk of developing blood clots, which can travel to other parts of the body, potentially causing serious issues like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Pain or discomfort at the Insertion Site: Some people may experience pain, bruising, or irritation where the IV is inserted. This discomfort can also occur if the vein is difficult to access.

Overuse of Therapy: While IV therapy can provide a quick boost, it’s not a substitute for a balanced diet or proper hydration. Relying on IV therapy too frequently may lead to missed opportunities for improving lifestyle habits.

How do I Minimize Risks?

I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Schulz for over a year now and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. I was almost moved to tears yesterday by how thorough, inquisitive and kind she was at my appointment yesterday 10/4. I appreciate her for navigating my recent PCOS diagnosis by trying to get to the root cause, and attacking it from many angles. I will forever be a loyalist to her! Thank you for all that you do!

Both of my appointments have gone well. I feel like I can ask questions and the answers feel genuine versus the normal scripted answers.

Dr. Schulz is kind, compassionate and takes the time to answer my questions. I feel well looked after by Dr. Schulz and would recommend her services.

After being used to the Kaiser Permanente system for my health needs, it was so amazingly refreshing to experience a visit with Dr. Alison Schulz.

First, she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed in her presence. Dr. Shultz is a wealth of knowledge and I felt like the health issues I wished to address were given her complete care and attention. There was no rushed atmosphere at all and the time given was very sufficient in discussing each aspect of what was being addressed. It is a wonderful feeling to finally think that I have a doctor who truly cares and has the knowledge to treat me with the highest natural medicine available. After hearing so many good things about Dr. Schultz from a very good friend of mine who has been seeing her for 7 years, I am so thankful I stepped outside my comfort zone and made an appointment with her!
- John H.

I have never had a relationship with a doctor like I have with her.

Dr. Alison has been my doctor for about 7 years now. I have never had a relationship with a doctor like I have with her. The amount of attention and support she provides me is unheard of and has made a tremendous difference in my health and quality of life. Dr. Alison’s experience and knowledge always gives me peace of mind and she has given me my health back through some very difficult obstacles ranging from GI issues to thyroid disease and hormone imbalance. I never thought I could have a doctor that cares as much as her and that I can trust so much.
- Leslie R.

I would highly recommend doctor Allison Schulz.

I had a problem with my legs for almost 4 years. I went to see doctor Allison and within 3 weeks, my issue was gone, I will definitely go back to doctor Schulz for medical issues.
- Paul A.

I had another great appointment with Dr. Schulz!

I feel like she really works with you to get to the bottom of what is going on with your body. Also, the set up she has with the patient portal online which allows you to see your lab results is fantastic!
- Stephanie B.

I really appreciated your open communication style and the time you took to create a treatment plan with me.

I felt genuinely heard and I'm excited to finally have new tools to manage (and hopefully solve) my health issues. Thank you for addressing all my questions!
- Corynn D.

I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Alison Schulz.

She is very down to earth. I feel like I could talk to her about anything. She always provides solutions to my problems, and cures for my ailments. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
- Angela J.

Even though the Dr. had been over-booked at my appointment time, she still seemed very concerned about my comfort & needs before, during, & after the appointment.

I was able to have a procedure done that I have been waiting for my whole life, but had not done yet because I couldn't rationalize spending the money for cosmetic purposes, but even without insurance, I didn't break the checkbook with Dr. Shultz. I am very pleased with the results & felt very well-taken care-of while under Dr. Shultz's care.

- Mel R.

I had a super lovely experience.

The whole thing was quick and painless. You were professional and pleasant. Also, I'm happy I found somewhere with affordable prices.

- Josh H.

My experience was fantastic.

The appointment was quick and expedient. The Dr. Schulz was kind, courteous, helpful, and down to earth. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.

- Troy H.

Having Dr. Alison as my doctor has been very refreshing!

I’ve dealt with chronic pain my entire life and I have never felt like I was being taken seriously. Alison is a great listener and I feel like she’s willing to work with me and try new things that better fit my needs.

- Troy H.

I truly enjoyed my appointment.

The location was not difficult to find and the environment was very homey which made my experience comfortable. I experienced very little discomfort with the procedure and the healing process has been amazing thus far. Thanks again! I will definitely be recommending others to come see you.

- Camaya T.

My energy levels and overall well-being have improved greatly!

Dr. Schulz is a truly amazing person. She was recommended to me by a friend who was dealing with serious health issues, and she helped him out tremendously. When I saw how much better my friend was feeling and looking, I decided to make an appointment with her regarding some less serious health issues that I have been dealing with, mainly low energy and lethargy. Dr. Schulz listened very carefully to everything I told her and asked insightful questions. he didn't push anything but gave a few different options for treatment but only after gathering substantial data and lab results. She explains everything very thoroughly. My energy levels and overall well-being have improved greatly! I can't say enough good things about her and would highly recommend her!

- Josh H.

Exceeded my expectations, simply said a wonderful experience.

I felt like I was in excellent hands

I felt like I was in excellent hands for my first appointment with Dr. Schulz. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, efficient, caring, and compassionate. After a recent move to the Portland area, I'm grateful to have found such a wonderful HRT doctor.

- Roxanne D.

Within moments, I felt in good hands.

Dr. Alison listened critically while reviewing my background, and as she gave experienced feedback on my health issues, it was like collaborating with a helpful friend. I felt everything I was concerned about was addressed professionally with acute knowledge of the treatments involved. I look forward to getting healthy with a teammate like Alison advising me.

- John G.

I find her very knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with.

I have been going to Dr. Schulz for 10 years. I find her very knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. I hate going to doctors, and for me to want to go see her says a lot. It's not like going to a regular doctor's office where they totally disrespect your time. As far as I am concerned she is my doctor forever.
