Intravenous (IV) Hydration and Therapy is the infusion of specially formulated vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream. One of the many benefits of IV therapy is that it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for 100% absorption. When taken orally, the potency and effectiveness of both vitamins and minerals is drastically reduced, therefore lessening the benefit. IV Therapy can be used to create and maintain well-being while increasing quality of life.

While this can depend on the condition being treated, there are many benefits of IV therapy. Our specific therapies are created to provide hydration while also helping to relieve hangovers, accelerate recovery, boost energy, provide immunity support, create mental clarity, decrease toxins, combat fatigue, improve muscle, skin, and joint health, and much more! If you're not sure which therapy would be best for you, give us a call!

Typically no. Because the needle used is very small, it is well tolerated by most people. After the IV is started, there should be no pain or discomfort.

Our IVs take anywhere from 30-60 minutes, which depends on the IV being given and the individual receiving treatment. Our goal is to provide your service at a comfortable and safe rate within a relaxing environment.

We do require a minimum age of 18 to receive our services.

While our services help achieve wellness, we do not accept health insurance. You may check to see if your FSA or HSA funds can be used toward IVs or IMs.

SecondWind IV & Wellness has a licensed Nurse Practitioner who oversees the operation of IV administration, and often does the administration herself. We also have a team of licensed, skilled, and caring professionals who also administer IVs and monitor you throughout the duration.

The risks of IV Therapy are very low. They may include discomfort and bruising at the injection site, and in rare cases allergic reactions. Prior to receiving IV Therapy, our Medical Team will review your intake forms to help ensure safety based on your current health and wellness needs.

Our IVs have been carefully crafted with a specific blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to provide optimum levels. However, we are able to adjust formulations upon request to add or replace ingredients to customize our drips to your needs.

In addition to our IV Therapies, we offer weight loss injections, intramuscular shots (a quicker way to receive some of the benefits of an IV), and NAD+ injections. We can also travel to your location or event. Please contact us directly for inquiries. Lastly, we are excited to share our space with a Hormone Replacement Therapist and Massage Therapist, which are additional ways to promote overall wellness all in one convenient space.

Simply put, intramuscular (IM) is injected instantaneously (usually into a muscle), and IV (intravenous) is dripped into a vein over time. IM shots take longer to take effect, but they also stay in your system longer. IV drips are the opposite — quicker effect, but also may not last as long. IVs also include hydration, a much needed benefit for most. Whichever method you choose will depend on the nature of the issue you’re looking to remedy, as well as your personal preference for comfort and healing.  

We accept cash, card, and Venmo @secondwindivhays as payment forms.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred. Scheduling appointments allows the provider time to review medical history and ensure you are a good candidate for the selected IV.
