BOOK CONSULTATIONFrequently referred to as an IV infusion, IV therapy and IV infusion therapy — refers to treatments that are injected directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) needle. The IV treatment usually is prescribed by your NY sports injury specialist when oral medication or oral hydration isn't doing the trick.

IV Hydration Therapy
As a board-certified anesthesiologist, your physician has extensive experience treating and working with patients to help them remain healthy, maintain their competitive edge and aid in healing when they need it. Hydration therapy, through drinking sufficient fluids and eating water-retentive foods, is a well-known technique among healthy athletes who know how to take care of their bodies, prevent cramps and avoid dehydration.
IV hydration therapy, although not as well-known, is an effective way to rehydrate following a grueling competition, as well as a good way to pre-hydrate before you compete. If you are a high-level athlete in Manhattan who may have a sensitivity to drinking enough fluids to keep you hydrated, IV hydration through our specialist may be just the ticket for you.

How IV Therapy Works
An IV infusion may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to complete. An IV is inserted in your arm and you're made comfortable while the medication slowly drips through the needle. Rarely do you feel any pain or other sensations during the infusion, although you may feel a slight tinge at the site of the injection, easily treatable with ice when you get home.
As you sit there, you're encouraged to keep yourself occupied with things to keep your mind off the IV therapy. You can:
IV Treatment Side Effects
When your IV infusion is complete, you get a small bandage or dressing over the site where the needle was. Leave it in place for about 30 minutes. If you're on blood thinners, you may be instructed to keep the dressing on longer. Your doctor ensures the infusion staff has all your personal instructions.
Any after-infusion medication you need to take is provided before you leave. Rarely are side effects an issue following IV infusion therapy. The most you might expect is a rash or fever, in which case you should call your physician immediately just to be on the safe side. Other side effects of pain medication IV therapy include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
Before and Aftercare
You can return to your normal activities the samne day. You may respond right away and receive relief from the first treatment, or it can take several IV infusions to get you on the healing path.
