Injection therapy treatment is a highly effective way of introducing essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the cells. The injection is given either intravenously (right into a vein) or intramuscularly (into either the deltoid or glute muscles). The most common reasons for this treatment are for stress, fatigue, sleep, healing from surgery, or boosting the immune system.
The food we eat is essential when it comes to getting the nutrients we need. However, there are several instances where we are not getting the nutrients from food and we are not absorbing them properly. This is where injection therapy comes in. Injection therapies are often preferred because they bypass the digestive system, making them more immediate and often longer-lasting. This could also be beneficial for anybody with digestive malabsorption issues or for those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
Before considering injection therapy, I do a complete review of your medical history and look at your overall health and lifestyle to ensure this is the best treatment for you. I look at your most recent lab values, health challenges, medications and health goals, taking everything into account. There are different ingredients such as Vitamin C, B12, B9 or amino acids that help with a variety of health goals. Each formula is completely customizable to your individual needs based on my findings. The goal is always a holistic plan that we carefully create together.
It’s also important to note that injection therapy can be used for preventative measures, not as reactive, meaning that injection therapy may be beneficial to your health even if you have no outward signs of ill health or injury. If you are a high-performance athlete or just want to remain in optimal health as you age, injection therapy might be a great addition to your health plan.
