IV Therapy by Brickell Rheumatology Wellness Center
Many people have come to normalize fast-paced routines, endless responsibilities, inadequate rest, sleep disturbances, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and a wide range of unhealthy habits. Over time, these factors contribute to chronic stress, which gradually drives the body into a state of low-grade chronic inflammation.
This persistent inflammation can quietly drain your energy, making even simple daily tasks feel exhausting. You may wake up feeling unrefreshed, have difficulty concentrating, and struggle to keep up with work or personal responsibilities. As the strain continues, physical symptoms may emerge, including joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. When the body is under constant stress, immune function may also weaken, leading to more frequent illnesses and slower recovery, further disrupting daily life.
As part of a comprehensive, health-focused lifestyle, many individuals explore supportive options such as IV therapy to help replenish essential nutrients, support hydration, and promote overall wellness. Our team carefully reviews safety considerations and potential side effects and takes the time to answer your questions, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your care.
At Brickell Rheumatology Wellness Center, IV therapy offers personalized support for inflammation, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies, helping patients feel supported and confident in a tailored plan. Some patients report improvements in energy and comfort within a few sessions; responses vary by individual.
What Is IV Wellness Therapy?
IV wellness therapy at Brickell Rheumatology Wellness Center is designed to support inflammation control, immune balance, and recovery, especially for those managing autoimmune or inflammatory conditions that cause fatigue, pain, or mobility issues.
IV Wellness Cocktails
Myers’ Cocktail
The Myers’ cocktail is a well-known IV wellness blend designed to support overall vitality and symptom relief. With magnesium, vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and calcium, this cocktail may support energy production, nerve and muscle function, and ease muscle cramps. It is sometimes used for migraine, fatigue, and stress-related symptom support while promoting general wellness; individual responses vary.
Anti-Inflammatory IV
The anti-inflammatory IV is formulated to help manage joint pain and systemic inflammation. Key nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, selenium, and B-complex vitamins work together to support immune regulation and reduce oxidative stress. This cocktail is especially supportive for patients with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions affecting comfort and mobility.
Immune Boost IV
The immune boost IV focuses on strengthening the body’s natural defenses. Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and magnesium support immune cell function and help the body respond more effectively to infections. This cocktail may support general wellness and recovery; results vary, and there is no strong evidence that it shortens illness duration, including during periods of increased stress or frequent infections.
Performance and Recovery IV
The performance and recovery IV is for active individuals or those recovering from physical strain. Amino acids, B-complex vitamins, and calcium support muscle repair, energy metabolism, and endurance. This blend may help reduce muscle soreness, support recovery, and promote overall physical resilience, making it useful for athletic performance and everyday activity.
Mitochondrial Support IV
The mitochondrial support IV targets cellular energy production and antioxidant support. Ingredients such as glutathione, vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid, and B-complex vitamins may help reduce oxidative stress and support mitochondrial function; use is selective under medical supervision, and broader wellness benefits are not well established. This cocktail is often used to support patients with chronic fatigue, inflammation, metabolic concerns, or medication-related oxidative burden.
Anti-Aging IV
The anti-aging IV promotes overall wellness with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, biotin, and CoQ10 to support healthy skin and cellular function. These nutrients provide antioxidant support (vitamins C and E, CoQ10); vitamin C supports collagen production, while biotin supports healthy hair and nails; collectively, they help combat oxidative stress. This cocktail may support healthy skin and overall cellular wellness; results vary by individual needs.
Hangover Relief IV
The hangover relief IV is intended to help restore hydration and electrolyte balance after alcohol-related dehydration. Saline fluids, electrolytes, and B-complex vitamins—with anti-nausea medication only if clinically appropriate and prescribed—may help rehydrate the body and ease dehydration-related symptoms such as headache, nausea, and fatigue. IV therapy does not cure hangovers, and suitability is determined by your provider.
The Benefits of IV Therapy
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption for Improved Cellular Function
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, allowing the body to absorb and use them immediately. It bypasses the digestive system, where oral supplements can lose potency due to poor absorption or gastrointestinal issues. As a result, cells can receive higher concentrations of essential nutrients more efficiently, supporting cellular repair, metabolism, and overall function. This targeted delivery may be helpful for individuals with chronic conditions, nutrient deficiencies, or increased metabolic demands.
Immune and Anti-Inflammatory Support
IV therapy provides nutrients known to support immune balance and help reduce systemic inflammation. Antioxidants and immune-supportive vitamins work at the cellular level to help regulate immune responses and combat oxidative stress. People with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory diseases, where ongoing inflammation causes pain, exhaustion, and flare-ups, may find it helpful. IV therapy enhances medical care and encourages a more balanced inflammatory response by supporting immune regulation.
Improved Energy and Recovery Through Mitochondrial Support
IV therapy delivers key cofactors (B-complex vitamins and minerals) that support mitochondrial energy production and overall recovery. Fatigue often stems from impaired mitochondrial function, where cells struggle to produce adequate energy. By enhancing cellular metabolism, these nutrients help improve stamina, reduce exhaustion, and support faster physical and mental recovery. This benefit is especially valuable for patients experiencing chronic fatigue, poor exercise tolerance, or prolonged recovery from illness or stress.
Better Brain Clarity and Stress Resilience
IV therapy may support cognitive function by delivering nutrients that nourish the nervous system and support neurotransmitter activity. It may help reduce brain fog, improve focus, and enhance mental clarity. Additionally, certain vitamins and minerals play a role in stress regulation and nervous system balance, helping the body adapt more effectively to physical and emotional stress. Some patients report feeling more mentally refreshed; individual results vary.
Personalized Therapeutic Care Guided by Licensed Providers
Each IV therapy plan is developed under licensed-provider guidance to align with your specific health needs, symptoms, and medical history. This personalized approach allows nutrient blends and treatment frequency to be adjusted for safety and effectiveness. Ongoing monitoring enables therapies to remain aligned with treatment goals and overall care plans. By tailoring IV therapy to the individual, patients receive targeted support that complements their broader medical and wellness strategy.
Safety note: IV therapy isn’t appropriate for everyone (e.g., certain cardiac, renal, or pregnancy-related conditions, or specific medications). Risks include bruising, infiltration, infection, allergic reactions, and fluid overload in susceptible patients. Your provider will review risks, benefits, and alternatives before treatment.
The IV Wellness Therapy Process
Initial Consultation
Your IV therapy journey begins with a detailed consultation at Brickell Rheumatology Wellness Center. During this visit, you discuss your symptoms, health concerns, and medical history with our team. This step helps us understand your needs and develop a safe, personalized plan.
Personalized Plan
Following your consultation, a personalized IV therapy plan can be scheduled in a time that accommodates your time and based on your specific health profile. Your provider selects an IV formula that aligns with your symptoms, lab findings, and rheumatology-related concerns. This tailored approach helps address inflammation, fatigue, immune balance, or recovery needs. Personalization enables the therapy to complement your overall care plan while supporting both short-term relief and long-term wellness.
Preparation
Before the infusion begins, you are seated in a comfortable, relaxed lounge setting. Our team prepares the IV equipment using sterile techniques, takes your vitals and helps you feel at ease. This step focuses on comfort, safety, and readiness for the session. Taking a few moments to relax helps create a calm environment, allowing the infusion process to proceed smoothly and efficiently.
Infusion Session
During the session, IV nutrients are infused at a gradual rate—typically over 30–60 minutes, depending on the formula and clinical judgment. You can read, work, listen to music, or unwind while the therapy runs. Our staff remains present throughout, monitoring your comfort and the infusion rate to maintain a smooth, comfortable experience.
Post-Session Review
After your IV therapy session, your provider reviews how you are feeling, takes your vitals again, and discusses next steps. You receive guidance on hydration, activity, and lifestyle considerations to help support the benefits of the infusion. This review also helps determine how your body responded to treatment and whether any adjustments may be helpful for future sessions.
Scheduling the Next Visit
To maintain and build upon the benefits of IV therapy, you should schedule follow-up sessions. Recurring visits are planned based on your individual needs, goals, and response to treatment. Establishing a consistent schedule helps support ongoing energy, immune balance, and inflammation management as part of your comprehensive rheumatology care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is IV Therapy?
IV therapy is a wellness treatment in which vitamins, minerals, and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. This method allows nutrients to bypass the digestive system, enabling faster absorption and improved availability at the cellular level. IV therapy is commonly used to support hydration, energy, immune function, inflammation management, and overall wellness as part of a medically guided care plan.
How Often Should I Get IV Therapy?
The frequency of IV therapy varies based on individual health needs, symptoms, and treatment goals. Many patients begin with weekly sessions to help restore nutrient levels and support symptom relief. As the body responds, treatments often taper to biweekly or monthly maintenance sessions, as advised by your provider. Your provider will recommend a schedule tailored to your condition, lifestyle, and overall wellness objectives.
Is IV Therapy Painful?
IV therapy is generally well-tolerated and minimally uncomfortable. Most patients experience only a brief pinch when the needle is inserted into the vein. After placement, the infusion is typically comfortable and relaxing. You can sit back, read, or unwind while nutrients are delivered slowly and safely into the bloodstream.
Are these IVs FDA-approved?
Many IV formulations are compounded rather than pre-manufactured products. The FDA does not approve IV vitamin therapy as a product class; availability and oversight vary by state. Treatments are provided under licensed-provider supervision according to applicable regulations.
