Your mind and body need the right balance of nutrients – not only to stay healthy and prevent disease, but also to stay active and reach peak athleticism. Whether the goal is to relieve pain, boost energy, reduce stress, decrease inflammation or improve wellness, IV infusion therapy replenishes the natural balance you need for a healthy, active life.
IV infusion therapy is a technique for adding vitamins, electrolytes and other essential nutrients directly into the blood stream, so your body can absorb what it needs faster and more efficiently. It is a safe, effective way to stay well-nourished, and to treat common ailments that may keep you from being as fit and active as you can be.
At Advanced Spine & Pain Clinics of Minnesota, we offer IV infusion therapy for a variety of health benefits. See below for a complete list.

Glutathione is the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant. It is found in every cell in the body bolstering the immune system and helping to neutralize damaging free radicals. Glutathione stores decrease as we age and with exposure to drugs, environmental toxins, cigarette smoke, and poor diets. When a deficiency in Glutathione develops, oral supplements do not offer an answer because the absorption in the gut is extremely poor. Injection or Intravenous administration is really the gold standard to really maximize the antioxidant effects of Glutathione.

If you are having an elective surgical procedure in the future you should consider preparing your body for surgery 4-8 weeks prior to your surgery date. Surgery can be a heavy stress on the body and proper preparation can reduce the effects of stress both before and after surgery. The body has an incredible, innate ability to heal itself, but there are many factors that can contribute to less than optimal recovery. One way to improve your recovery is to get more of the important stress and healing nutrients than your diet alone provides.
