IV (intravenous) therapy delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream through a small IV catheter. This allows for higher absorption than oral supplements and can be helpful for hydration, nutrient, repletion, and supportive wellness care.

When delivered by trained medical professionals using proper screening and protocols, IV therapy is generally considered safe. Here at Whyte Ave: Root & Rise, all IV therapy services are provided by a Registered Nurse, guided by medical directives, supported by our medical director’s oversight, delivered using sterile technique and evidence-informed protocols.

Your safety is our highest priority.

You may feel a brief pinch during the IV insertion. Once the IV is placed, most clients won’t feel any discomfort. Our nurses are highly experienced and prioritize comfort throughout your treatment.

No. IV therapy is typically considered a wellness service, and not covered by Alberta Health Care or most extended health benefits plans. We recommend checking with our insurer prior to booking if you plan to submit receipts for possible reimbursement.
