Medicine, fluids and nutrition, if you mean a hospital. What is IV therapy used for when a nurse drives to a house in Tulsa is a much shorter list. Fluids. Some vitamins. An injection pushed while the bag runs, if you want one. Two lists behind one search. Only the second one is ours to speak to.
We list our sources at the bottom so you can check us.
MedlinePlus keeps the definition narrow enough to fit on a sticky note: Most often it refers to giving medicines or fluids through a needle or tube inserted into a vein. Notice what is not in that sentence. No promise. No outcome. A vein is a door, and the uses are whatever somebody carries through it.
Our end of the business carries a small load. Harvard Health Publishing sums it up in one line: Intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into the bloodstream. Same line, lighter bag. Nobody texts us for medicine. They text us for fluids and some vitamins.
That page also names what our industry sells the stuff for, and the wording will look familiar if an ad has ever found you on your phone: It is marketed as a quick fix for fatigue, immune health, and hangovers. We do sell bags aimed at two of those three.
This is our actual call list, not a benefits chart. Every price below is all in, nurse and travel included, straight off the menu.
Simply Hydrate at $99 is the plainest one and the one people are usually shopping for without knowing it. No vitamins in that bag at all, just a full liter of fluids. A stomach bug, a flight, a week of Oklahoma heat with a water bottle you could not keep down.
Super Immunity IV at $199 goes out the week something is running through a house. We will come while you are contagious, because you should not be driving around sick, and the nurse takes standard precautions either way. Hangover Helper at $179 covers the morning the blinds are the enemy. Migraine Cocktail at $199 gets booked so nobody has to sit under fluorescent lights to be seen, and we keep the lights low when we arrive.
Two more are less obvious. Post Surgery Recovery IV at $199 exists because you are supposed to be resting, not running errands, and the nurse comes to wherever you are recovering. Prenatal Infusion at $179 is gentle hydration with B vitamins, and a physician reviews every single one before it runs.
One is tied to the calendar. Allergy Defense at $215 aims at the two pollen stretches Green Country gets, one in spring and one in fall. The page says plainly that it does the most when somebody starts a few months out rather than mid season, which is an awkward sentence to say to a person whose eyes are itching this morning.
Some people skip the whole list and go looking to buy a bag of their own instead. We put that one in writing too, in what actually ships inside those at home IV boxes.
Harvard does not leave that marketing standing where it found it: But scientific evidence does not back up those claims, and IV therapy also poses risks. A medical school publisher wrote that about the category we make our living in, and we would rather hand it to you now than have you turn it up next week and wonder why we kept quiet.
On the vitamin side, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health has watched supplement research for years, and the summary is thin: Most studies have shown little or no effect of MVMs on the risk of health problems. Those studies looked at pills, not bags, so take the direction and not the detail. That page also separates two questions people tend to blur. On ordinary doses it says this: Taking a daily dose of a basic MVM is unlikely to pose a health risk for healthy people. On piling it higher it says this: However, taking them at high doses or taking many different supplements may cause adverse side effects. Low risk is not the same as useful. Those are two different findings, and they get mixed together constantly.
Our own Migraine Cocktail page puts the line where we want it, and it holds for every bag on the board: IV therapy supports how you feel, and it is not medical treatment. If a physician is already following something for you, that office goes first.
You pick, then a physician reads. You fill out a health form when you book. Dr. Canaday reads it before anything gets drawn up, on every appointment, not just the tricky ones. A registered nurse places the line and stays through the drip, and no techs work on this team. When a bag is wrong for somebody we say no and give the reason, which is a strange habit for a business paid by the bag. The safety standards page spells all of it out.
Geography is simple and so is the bill. We drive to Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Collinsville and Claremore at flat menu pricing. Sapulpa and Sand Springs cost $25 more for the mileage, and an add-on injection is $25. The Tulsa page walks through how an hour at your kitchen table actually goes.
The useful answer is not a list of benefits. An IV is a way in, nothing more. The short list worth our drive is fluids, some vitamins, and a nurse at your kitchen table. The rest belongs with the office that holds your chart. Reading a page of uses is not medical advice, and no wellness bag stands in for the care that office gives you.
