IV Fluid Therapy in Boston

Home / Blog / IV Fluid Therapy in Boston

Do you have a favorite science fiction film, book, or television show? Maybe the thought of the science fiction genre conjures up images of metal needles, strange creatures, or totalitarian artificial intelligence.

When people hear the term “IV fluid therapy,” there’s a chance their brain jumps to extreme futuristic technologies.

The reality is that IV fluid therapy is a favorite healthcare practice of both patients and functional medicine providers—like the team at Five Journeys.

What is IV Fluid Therapy?

Our bodies need key vitamins, nutrients, and minerals to function properly. They get these most directly from the food we eat—which is why we’re always harping about the importance of eating variety and color!

For a variety of reasons, our bodies easily end up off-kilter. Whether we’re restricting food intake in the name of “health,” have a gut issue, aren’t eating a diet rich in micronutrients, or are bombarded with toxins, our bodies aren’t able to properly absorb what they need.

This is where IV fluid therapy comes in. We deliver these key nutrients to the body much quicker than it takes the body to metabolize food. Our patients leave IV fluid therapy sessions feeling refreshed, boosted, and ready to show up for their health.

IV Fluid Therapy isn’t Science Fiction

When you hear the word “IV fluid therapy,” your mind may conjure up images that resemble your favorite science fiction stories. Many people cringe at the idea of IV fluid therapy or dub it as something “of the future.”

In reality, IV fluid therapy is a current treatment that’s safe and effective for just about everyone. It’s not scary or far-fetched, like something in a futuristic film.

How Five Journeys Approaches Health.

You’ve likely had experience with traditional healthcare—whether frequent visits or (hopefully) not much contact.

Either way, the experience with traditional medicine is often full of frustrations. You spend forever in the waiting room and barely get to see your doctor. Instead of being taken seriously, you’re told to lose weight (as if this will fix all your problems) or you’re handed another pill bottle.

Maybe this treatment guidance works for a while, but your symptoms return, and you feel even worse than when you started.

We promise there’s a better way of doing things. With functional medicine, you are seen and heard and treated as the unique individual that you are. We view healthcare as more than just treating symptoms; we address the root cause of your health issues.

Through an in-depth analysis of your current situation and after conducting adequate testing with cutting-edge technology, we come up with a unique treatment plan. This may include dietary tweaks, mental health counseling, a gut detox, or IV fluid therapy.

We view healthcare as a partnership between doctor and patient—and we’re with you every step of the way.
