IV Therapy is a method of delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. With Dr. Chelsea Gronick, IV Therapy is offered within a regulated naturopathic medical setting and guided by clinical assessment, patient safety, and individualized care.
IV Therapy may be considered when oral supplementation alone is not meeting a person’s needs, or when additional support is appropriate during periods of increased physical, mental, or physiological demand.
IV therapy and vitamin injections are administered in a clinical setting by a registered nurse (RN), following initial health screening and formulation by Dr. Chelsea Gronick.
IV Therapy allows nutrients to bypass the digestive system and enter circulation directly. This method can be useful for individuals who have difficulty absorbing nutrients, experience ongoing symptoms despite dietary changes, or require more targeted nutritional support.
IV Therapy is not a replacement for a balanced diet or comprehensive healthcare. Instead, it may be used as part of a broader, individualized approach to health that considers lifestyle, nutrition, medical history, and overall wellbeing.
During IV Therapy, a sterile intravenous line is used to deliver fluids and nutrients over a controlled period of time. This allows for gradual administration while monitoring comfort and tolerance.
The type of nutrients used, and the frequency of IV Therapy are always determined on an individual basis discovered during the initial health screening. Recommendations are informed by clinical assessment, health history, and, when appropriate, laboratory testing.
People may explore IV Therapy for a variety of reasons, including:
IV Therapy is not intended to diagnose or treat disease. Its role is supportive and always considered in context with a person’s broader health picture.
Oral supplements rely on digestion and absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. For some individuals, this process may be impaired due to digestive concerns, chronic stress, or other health factors.
IV Therapy delivers nutrients directly into circulation, which may allow for more efficient utilization in certain situations. Whether IV Therapy or oral supplementation is more appropriate depends on individual needs and is determined through clinical evaluation.
Both IV Therapy and vitamin injections provide nutrients directly into the body, but they differ in scope and delivery.
IV Therapy typically allows for a broader range of nutrients to be delivered intravenously over a longer period of time, while vitamin injections are more targeted and delivered intramuscularly.
In some cases, IV Therapy and vitamin injections may be used in a complementary way, depending on individual goals, preferences, and clinical recommendations.
IV Therapy with Dr. Chelsea Gronick’s begins with an initial appointment to review health history, current concerns, and ensure that IV Therapy is appropriate and safe. Treatments take place in a clinical setting and are administered by trained professionals. Patient comfort, monitoring, and informed consent are prioritized throughout the process. Recommendations regarding the type and frequency of IV Therapy are always individualized and may change over time based on response and overall health needs.
As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Chelsea Gronick provides IV Therapy within a regulated scope of practice. Care is guided by evidence-informed principles, clinical judgment, and patient safety.
IV Therapy is not suitable for everyone. Screening and assessment help determine whether IV Therapy is appropriate and ensure that care aligns with each person’s health status and goals.
Choosing where to receive IV Therapy matters. IV Therapy at a clinic offers a different level of oversight than non-medical wellness settings.
With Dr. Chelsea Gronick, IV Therapy is approached thoughtfully, with attention to individualized care, education, and collaboration. The focus is not on one-size-fits-all solutions, but on supporting health in a way that is appropriate, measured, and aligned with each patient’s needs.
If you are looking for IV Kelowna services that prioritize safety, assessment, and professional care, IV Therapy may be worth exploring as part of a broader health plan.
IV Therapy may include a combination of fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients selected based on individual needs and clinical assessment. Not all nutrients are appropriate for everyone, and recommendations are always personalized.
B vitamins play an important role in energy metabolism, nervous system function, and cellular processes. They are involved in how the body converts food into usable energy and supports brain and nerve health.
IV delivery of B vitamins may be considered when increased nutritional demands, stress, or absorption challenges are present.
Vitamin C is involved in immune function, tissue repair, and antioxidant activity. It supports the body’s ability to respond to physical stress and plays a role in collagen formation and overall cellular health.
In IV Therapy, vitamin C may be used to support the body during periods of increased physiological demand.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle function, nervous system regulation, and stress response.
Some individuals may have difficulty maintaining adequate magnesium levels, particularly during times of stress or with certain dietary patterns.
Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune function, wound healing, and enzymatic activity throughout the body. It plays a role in maintaining healthy cells and supporting normal metabolic processes.
IV delivery may be considered when zinc status is a concern or when oral supplementation is not well tolerated.
Electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, are essential for maintaining fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function.
IV Therapy often includes fluids and electrolytes to support hydration and physiological balance, particularly during times of increased physical stress or depletion.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are involved in tissue repair, neurotransmitter production, and metabolic processes.
In IV Therapy, amino acids may be used to support cellular function and recovery as part of an individualized care plan.
Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the body and plays a role in cellular protection and detoxification pathways.
Some individuals may explore glutathione through IV Therapy as part of a broader approach to supporting oxidative balance and overall cellular health.
Not every IV contains the same ingredients, and not every person requires the same support. Nutrient selection is guided by individual health history, current concerns, and clinical assessment.
IV Therapy is always considered as one part of a comprehensive approach to health, rather than a standalone solution.
