Which type of IV therapy is right for me?

To learn which type of IV therapy session best suits you, the Care Now Medical Group team checks your vital signs, reviews your symptoms and medical history, and completes a physical exam.

You might undergo a nasal or throat swab, blood testing, urine tests, or other lab tests to make a diagnosis and learn how to best treat your condition. 

What happens during IV therapy?

During IV therapy sessions at Care Now Medical Group, you can rest comfortably while your provider inserts a tiny needle into a vein in your arm. They infuse fluids and nutrients or medications into your bloodstream and monitor your vital signs while you relax. Your IV infusion might last about 30-60 minutes.

You may begin feeling better immediately after IV therapy, with continued improvements appearing over time. The Care Now Medical Group team determines if you need additional treatments, such as over-the-counter or prescription medications.
