IV Therapy for Fibromyalgia

Battling chronic pain is not easy to contend with, and if fibromyalgia is the cause, I’m sad to say that there currently is no treatment to cure it. Fibromyalgia, like many autoimmune diseases, can only be managed with a combination of and pain medications and therapy. There are techniques available, such as physical & occupational therapy, that provide some drug-free relief. 

Fibromyalgia affects nearly 10% of the population, with most sufferers being women. The diagnostic definition of Fibromyalgia is established by three or more months of widespread pain that has no real medical explanation. This is why the condition is so difficult to treat.

A New Approach to Treatment

The cause of Fibromyalgia is unknown, and this is why treatment can be difficult. Some patients just don’t respond to therapy methods, and therefore they must rely on pain medication, which can have bad side effects and can cause dependency.  IV therapy in Medford MA for Fibromyalgia provides a new option that can improve the quality of life for Fibro patients. This IV nutrition treatment is called the Myer’s cocktail at The IV Hub; named after Dr. John Myers, who used an IV formula as a way to improve a variety of chronic conditions.

The Myer’s IV hydration therapy introduces important vitamins and nutrients into your body that can help with the body’s overall inflammation and alleviate chronic symptoms. This IV is packed with essential multivitamins and other nutrients such as  Magnesium, B complex vitamins, vitamin B12, calcium gluconate, vitamin C.

The Advantages of IV Therapy vs. Oral Treatments

An advantage of IV therapy is that the vitamins and nutrients get into your system faster and more efficiently than taking vitamins orally. When taking oral medications or vitamins, the digestive system has to process them before they are delivered into the bloodstream, whereas an IV gets into the body’s system immediately. Also, the concentration of vitamins can be up to 50 times higher when delivered by IV infusion at an IV bar rather than orally.

The Myer’s IV Drip 

The IV Hub’s Myer’s IV Drip contains

• Magnesium
• B complex vitamins 
• Vitamin B12
• Calcium-gluconate
• Vitamin C

Studies show that some Fibromyalgia patients have a reduction in chronic pain and fatigue, and improved ability to function in daily activities. The benefits from the IV therapy typically began within 24 to 48 hours. 

Another advantage of Myer’s IV therapy is that it can be an effective way to reduce drug dependency with little to no risk of negative side effects.
