What are the benefits of IV therapy?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a procedure that delivers medications, fluids, nutrients and peptides directly into the bloodstream. It is used for various purposes, including rehydration, electrolyte restoration and nutrient balancing. As IV therapy bypasses the digestive system, we can ensure immediate availability of nutrients and medications directly into the body, and enable precise control over dosage. Your therapy will be tailored to your individual needs, and the Thiesen MD team will collaborate with you directly to address your specific health goals such as athletic performance, immune system enhancement, anti-aging, and overall wellness. Contact the Thiesen MD team to book your IV treatment at one of our Massachusetts or Rhode Island locations.

What can I expect during an IV session?
During an IV therapy session, you can expect a comfortable and relaxing experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. First, the Thiesen MD team will carefully select the nutrients and fluids that best suit your needs. The insertion of the needle is typically quick and virtually painless, as we are skilled in ensuring your utmost comfort. Once the IV is in place, you can sit back and unwind under red light therapy while the nutrients are gradually infused into your bloodstream. The duration of the treatment varies depending on the specific therapy chosen, but it typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour. You can utilize this time to relax, read or listen to music. Many people find the process enjoyable and therapeutic, and the positive effects of the treatment can often be felt during the session itself or shortly thereafter. By opting for an IV therapy session, you'll not only prioritize your health and well-being but also indulge in a revitalizing experience that leaves you feeling your best.

How much does adrenal fatigue treatment cost?It's important to note that the cost of adrenal fatigue treatment will be different from patient to patient. This is due to the fact that each person's body is wholly unique and will require something different.

When can I expect to see results from adrenal fatigue treatment?Most of our patients tend to see results within just a few weeks of beginning their treatment with us. However, each patients body will respond to treatment differently, so it is not uncommon for patients to notice results even earlier or further into their treatment.

What causes imbalanced hormones in women?Hormonal imbalances in women can be caused by a variety of factors. These imbalances can result from natural life events such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Additionally, certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders can also lead to hormonal disturbances. Lifestyle factors, including stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and inadequate sleep, can contribute to hormonal imbalances in women as well. At Thiesen MD, Dr. Larry Thiesen will conduct thorough evaluations and hormone testing to identify the root cause of the hormonal imbalance prior to providing hormone therapy.

Additionally, issues with fertility, low libido, and changes in skin texture may also indicate hormonal fluctuations. If you are experiencing persistent and bothersome symptoms, we recommend scheduling a consultation at Thiesen MD for hormone replacement therapy.

Am I a good candidate for IV therapy?
IV therapy, a method of administering vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, is suitable for various individuals. Ideal candidates often seek enhanced energy, improved hydration, or a boost in immune function. It's also chosen for detoxification and to address nutrient deficiencies. Those with busy lifestyles, athletes, or individuals feeling run-down may benefit from IV therapy. However, it's not suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions or pregnant women, and should be discussed with your provider at Thiesen MD.
