Extended IV Therapy
Living with a chronic or complex health condition can be a daily challenge, and sometimes traditional oral medications aren’t enough to help you feel your best. At Swan Health of Wichita Falls, we offer extended IV therapy as a new way to support your healing and recovery.
A NEW PATH TO HEALING
Extended IV therapies are a powerful way to support your body’s healing process. This specialized treatment delivers essential medications and nutrients directly to your bloodstream for faster absorption and maximum benefit. By bypassing other internal systems, extended IV therapy provides a direct and continuous way to deliver vital medications and nutrients. It’s perfect for conditions that require a steady, consistent dosage over time.
CONTINUOUS CARE FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Our Extended IV Therapy services address a variety of chronic conditions, complex health needs, and issues that may not respond well to oral medications. This includes IV antibiotic therapy for persistent infections, hydration and nutritional support for patients with digestive issues or chronic dehydration, and medication management for those requiring a consistent and direct delivery of their prescriptions. At Swan Health at Wichita Falls, we’re providing comprehensive solutions to manage your symptoms and actively support your body’s natural healing process.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the difference between this and a standard IV?
A: A standard IV is usually for short-term hydration or medication delivery. Our Extended IV Therapy is a more comprehensive service for chronic or complex conditions. It’s about providing a consistent, long-term solution to help your body heal from the inside out, rather than just a quick fix.
Q: What kinds of conditions do you treat with Extended IV Therapy?
A: We use extended IV therapy for a wide range of medical needs. This can include treating persistent infections with IV antibiotics, providing crucial nutritional support for patients with digestive issues, and managing chronic conditions that require consistent medication delivery. If you’re not sure if it’s right for you, we’re happy to discuss your specific health needs.
Q: How long will each session take?
A: The duration of each session varies depending on your specific treatment plan and the medication being administered. We’ll give you a clear estimate during your initial consultation so you can plan accordingly. We strive to make each visit as efficient and comfortable as possible, so you can get back to your schedule faster.
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: While many of our patients are referred by their primary care physician or a specialist, a referral is not always required. If you’re considering extended IV therapy, please reach out to us directly. We’ll help you figure out the best way to get started and can determine whether this service is a good fit for you with a consultation.
Q: How often will I need to come in for treatment?
A: Some patients may require daily sessions for a period of time, while others might be weekly or even less frequent. We’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits your schedule while still supporting your recovery.
Q: What can I do to prepare for my first appointment?
A: We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and making sure you are well-hydrated before your appointment. You can also bring a book, a tablet, or something to keep you entertained during your session.
Q: Is Extended IV Therapy a substitute for oral medications?
A: Not necessarily. It is often used to supplement or replace oral medications when they are not effective, but it is always part of a comprehensive care plan. We work closely with your other doctors to ensure your treatment is well-coordinated and tailored to your needs.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing Extended IV Therapy?
A: The biggest benefit is the direct and efficient delivery of medication, which can lead to faster and more predictable results. This can help you feel better, have more energy, and improve your overall quality of life. Our therapy also bypasses the digestive system, which can be beneficial for patients with sensitive stomachs or absorption issues.
