Why IV

Why people use IV therapy

IV nutrition isn't a cure-all. Here's where it genuinely helps.

  • Bypass the gut

    Nutrients go straight into the bloodstream, so absorption isn't limited by digestion — useful when gut issues, malabsorption, or IBD are in the picture.

  • Higher doses, safely

    IV delivery makes therapeutic doses possible that oral supplements simply can't reach, under clinical supervision.

  • Fast rehydration

    Fluids and electrolytes restore hydration quickly after illness, travel, heat, or hard training.

  • Targeted to your labs

    Iron, B12, and other deficiencies are corrected based on your actual numbers, not a guess.

  • Support during recovery

    Cold and flu, post-viral fatigue, surgery recovery, and high physical demand all benefit from focused nutrient support.

  • Part of a bigger plan

    IVs work best alongside root-cause care — testing, nutrition, and a plan that continues after you leave the chair.

The experience

What a visit looks like

  1. Clinical review

    We review your history, your goals, and any recent labs. Dr. Lechner orders the drip that fits — or tells you if IV isn't the right tool.

  2. Settle in

    You'll relax in a quiet, comfortable chair. Placement takes a moment; most people feel a small pinch and nothing after.

  3. Infusion

    Most sessions run 30–60 minutes. Our clinical team is available and stays with you throughout.

  4. What's next

    We'll talk through cadence — whether this is a one-time reset or part of a short series inside a larger plan.

The difference

Not a drip bar

  • Physician-led

    Dr. Alison Lechner, DO, IFMCP reviews and orders every infusion. No wall of pre-mixed bags.

  • Root-cause context

    We use advanced lab testing to understand why you're depleted — not just to top you off.

  • Honest guidance

    If an IV isn't the right answer for you, we'll say so and point you toward what is.

Disclaimer

IV therapy at Shine is a physician-ordered medical service intended to complement, not replace, your ongoing care. Like any IV, it carries some risk — most commonly discomfort or irritation at the site — individual responses vary, and not every infusion is right for everyone, which is why we review your history and labs before you book.
