IV Therapy (Intravenous Therapy) can go beyond addressing vitamin deficiencies to help optimize your wellness through convenient drip therapy. Our practice utilizes several forms of IV therapy in Cincinnati to help optimize overall wellness and assist with symptom relief. When this form of therapy is performed by medical professionals, the results can help increase the absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids versus traditional consumption. IV Infusion can assist with symptom relief and optimize your wellness.
What is IV Therapy?
IV Vitamin Therapy or IV Drip Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers key minerals, vitamins and amino acids directly into veins, which bypasses the digestive system and allows the absorption rate to increase. This direct administration of mineral or amino acids from infusions can be supplemental to your wellness journey. We provide two types of IV therapies: symptomatic and regenerative.
Choosing Symptomatic IV Therapy can help boost your immune system, metabolism & energy as well as improve skin and collagen production, address mood symptoms, aid in weight loss, enhance athletic performance and help relieve headaches. Regenerative IV Therapies can be part of a wellness treatment plan that helps to support cognitive and mitochondrial function plus cellular health.

Procaine IV Drip
Procaine IV Therapy is the use of local anesthetic, Novocaine, to create a comprehensive healing system also known as neuronal therapy. This systematic therapy achieves a “whole body effect” that helps to reset the nervous system and can help it to become less agitated. Procaine, also known as Novocaine, is a local anesthetic agent which numbs tissue. When you use procaine in an IV infusion, it breaks down into 2 components, DEAE and PABA that reset the nervous system into a calmer state. Procaine can be used as an alternative (non FDA approved) to help with conditions such as nerve issues, tinnitus, mood disorders, cognitive issues, pain syndromes or any neurologic irritability. Procaine IV Therapy is well known as a safe and nontoxic local anesthetic; however, its therapeutic value extends beyond its local anesthetic effects.
Potential Benefits:
- Pain relief
- Stimulant or relaxant depending on patient’s initial state and what they need
