Our Naturopathic Physicians are trained and certified in IV and Injection nutrient therapies which can be incorporated into patient care plans when required.

What are IM (Intramuscular) Injections?

Intramuscular injection delivers many different vitamins such as B12, B vitamins, Vitamin D3, methionine, inositol, choline, and chromium into the muscle where they can be delivered directly to the cells of the body.

What is Intravenous (IV) Therapy?

Intravenous therapy delivers many different nutrients directly into the bloodstream where they can circulate and be delivered directly to the body.

Who administers and supervises my IM and IV Vitamin Therapy?

IM and IV therapies are administered by a licensed Naturopathic Physician.

How long will my IV therapy take?

A treatment may range from 20 minutes to 90 minutes. In order for your Naturopathic Physician to be able to administer IV therapy, they will require you that you have a consultation to first assess your health and create an individualized treatment plan. If IV therapy is advised, you will be required to completed blood work prior to administration of the therapy. We require a minimum of the following lab work prior to your visit to ensure patient safety:

• Hematology profile
• Liver function tests (ALT, AST, GGT)
• Kidney function tests (GFR, creatinine)
• Ferritin
• Electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium)
  
• G6PD 
• Urinalysis
  
• Other testing as required
