IV therapy has become increasingly popular over the last few years — and for good reason. When used appropriately, it can be a powerful way to support the body during times of stress, depletion, or impaired absorption.
But like any tool, IV therapy works best when it’s used intentionally, as part of a bigger picture — not as a stand-alone fix.
So when does IV therapy actually make sense?
How IV Therapy Works
IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely.
This matters because many people struggle with:
- poor digestion or absorption
- chronic inflammation in the gut
- stress-related shutdown of digestive function
- nutrient depletion that oral supplements can’t keep up with
By entering directly into circulation, IV nutrients are immediately available to the cells — without relying on digestion, stomach acid, enzymes, or intestinal absorption.
For the right person, at the right time, this can be incredibly beneficial.
When IV Therapy Is Especially Helpful
IV therapy often makes sense when:
1. Digestion Is Compromised
If the gut isn’t breaking down or absorbing nutrients well, oral supplementation may never fully reach the cells.
In these cases, IV therapy can:
- replenish depleted nutrients
- reduce the burden on digestion
- provide support while gut healing is underway
2. Stress Is High and Demand Is Greater
Chronic stress increases the body’s demand for nutrients — especially B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
When stress load is high, IV therapy can help:
- support adrenal and nervous system function
- reduce oxidative stress
- restore depleted reserves more efficiently
3. The Body Needs Support Quickly
During times of illness, recovery, inflammation, or intense demand, IV therapy offers rapid support without waiting weeks for oral supplementation to build up.
4. Supplementation Has Stalled
When people say, “Supplements used to help, but now they don’t,” it’s often a sign that delivery — not intention — is the issue.
IV therapy can serve as a bridge:
- restoring levels
- reducing overwhelm
- allowing the body to reset
When IV Therapy Makes Sense — And Why Quality Matters
It’s also important to know that not all IV therapy is created equal.
Many IV clinics use lower-quality ingredients, fillers, or less bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals. While these may be cheaper upfront, they can be harder for the body to utilize — and in some cases, add additional burden instead of support.
That’s why choosing a qualified provider matter.
At Davis Orthopedic office, IV therapy is done using clean, high-quality ingredients sourced from trusted pharmaceutical-grade suppliers. The formulations are chosen intentionally to support the body — not overwhelm it. While this approach can be more costly, it’s designed to be safer, more effective, and more supportive long-term.

And finally, to make IV therapy truly worthwhile, we want to ensure your body can actually receive and utilize what’s being delivered.
That’s where functional testing comes in.
By looking at things like hydration, mineral balance, detox capacity, and stress load through RBTI testing and bioenergetic scanning, we can identify whether your body is ready for IV support — and how to optimize it so you get the most benefit from your time, your investment, and your care.
The goal isn’t just to give support.
It’s to make sure your body is able to use it well.

Why IV Therapy Isn’t a Magic Fix
While IV therapy bypasses digestion, it doesn’t bypass the body’s need for balance.
Even IV nutrients must still be:
- utilized by the cells
- processed by the liver
- cleared through detox pathways
- regulated by hormones and the nervous system
If detox pathways are congested, stress is unaddressed, or mineral balance is off, even IV therapy may not land as effectively as it could.
That’s why IV therapy works best when paired with:
- functional insight
- detox support
- stress regulation
- nutrition and lifestyle alignment
The Power of Integration
When IV therapy is combined with a functional understanding of the body, it becomes more than a temporary boost.
It becomes a strategic tool.
By looking at digestion, detox capacity, stress load, and real-time body chemistry, IV therapy can be timed and targeted to support healing — not override it.
This integrated approach helps ensure that:
- nutrients are actually utilized
- the body isn’t overwhelmed
- support aligns with what the body is ready for
A Thoughtful Approach Matters
IV therapy isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what makes sense now.

For some people, IVs are a critical support during a season of healing.
For others, they’re best used periodically — alongside deeper functional work.

The goal is never dependency.

When IV therapy is used with intention and insight, it can be a beautiful way to support the body — especially when other forms of supplementation have been a struggle.
Understanding when IV therapy makes sense is part of understanding the body as a whole.
And when the whole picture is considered, support becomes clearer, safer, and more effective.

As we continue sharing more education, we’ll be talking about how different tools — including IV therapy, functional testing, and nutrition — fit together to support healing from the inside out.
There are 100,000 chemicals on the market today. The toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 grandfathered them in. What does that mean to you? Simply put: these chemicals have not had any safety testing, and we know very little information about their side effects. Since 1940's prostate cancer is up 200%, Thyroid cancer up 155%, Brain cancer up 70%. What happens when your body is chemically overloaded? It may not be cancer, but we can feel in ways like: lethargy, inability to focus, sleep trouble, chronic inflammation, unexplained pain, skin issues, adult acne, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, and fear.
