IV Therapy in Calgary, Personalized to Your Health

Services Treatment Room

WHAT IS INTRAVENOUS THERAPY?

IV therapy delivers nutrients and other therapeutic compounds directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous line. This bypasses the digestive system and allows your practitioner to carefully control what is administered and how much.
At Paradigm Health Group, IV therapy is personalized to you. Your practitioner considers:

    Your health concerns and the reasons you're seeking treatment

    Your treatment goals and what we're working toward

    Your medical history and other relevant health factors

    Your bloodwork, when laboratory findings are relevant

    Your response to treatment, allowing us to adjust your IV therapy over time

    Depending on your individual needs, an IV formulation may contain different combinations and concentrations of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, antioxidants, phospholipids and select botanical compounds.

    Why use an IV?

    When nutrients are taken orally, they first have to pass through the digestive system, and absorption can vary from person to person.
    IV therapy bypasses the digestive tract and delivers the formulation directly into the bloodstream. This may be particularly useful when:

    Digestive function or nutrient absorption is a concern

    Oral supplements aren't well tolerated

    Higher concentrations of certain nutrients are desired

    Your practitioner determines that IV delivery is appropriate for a particular treatment goal. IV therapy may be used on its own or as one part of a broader naturopathic treatment plan.

    COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT IV THERAPY

    IS IV THERAPY RIGHT FOR EVERYONE?

    Not necessarily. Certain health conditions, medications, lab findings or other factors can affect whether IV treatment is appropriate for you. Your practitioner determines eligibility through assessment, and lab testing is required before certain therapies.

    WHY CHOOSE IV THERAPY OVER ORAL SUPPLEMENTS?

    Oral nutrients have to pass through your digestive system first, and absorption varies from person to person. IV administration bypasses that step and delivers nutrients directly into your circulation, which can help when digestion or absorption is a concern, or when your practitioner determines IV delivery better suits a particular treatment goal.

    HOW ARE IV FORMULATIONS SELECTED FOR ME?
    Your practitioner selects and adjusts your formulation based on your health concerns, treatment goals, medical history, relevant lab findings and response to treatment. Formulations may include different concentrations and combinations of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, antioxidants, phospholipids and select botanical compounds depending on your individual needs.
    HOW LONG HAS PARADIGM OFFERED IV THERAPY?
