Our Vitamin IV was created with pain patients in mind. It is exclusive, and discounted, for our CVPM patients. The Vitamin IV is designed to help those experiencing chronic pain. With the recent concerns surrounding opioid usage from the department of justice, insurance companies and pharmacies, we felt it important to provide our patients another option to help manage their pain. We are always looking for alternative methods that may be effective and helpful. If you have additional questions or wish to schedule an IV Appointment, please reach out to our team.
How often does one need each treatment?? It sounds promising!
We recommend every 1-2 weeks. It is not recommended for anyone with poor kidney function or hypertension. Next time you see your provider, let them know you are interested and they can get you a referral!
Questions: is this available without a referral? Yes, I go to CVPM but I don’t go back until Mid-September. Is it a “walk-in” basis or do you need an appointment? Finally, are there any other complementary therapies that you would suggest besides this one to augment it’s effects?
Thank you for responses.
We have had great reviews from our patients that have already gotten the Pain Drip. You do need approval from your provider to get the pain drip. You are welcome to give us a call, and get a verbal ok from your provider and then we can send it over to the Wellness Center next door. Also, there are complementary therapies to the IV therapy to augment its effects. I recommend talking with staff there to see what else they have to offer you specifically.
Does this help if you are currently on narcotic treatments? Does it help in addition or instead of?
Thanks for your time.
We recommend it in addition, especially because of its hydrating effects. It is a vitamin IV, so it will not replace the effects of pain medications all together. We wanted to provide an alternative therapy for those wanting to wean off their medications.
I would like to get some more information regarding this treatment. I have already had a multi-level lumbar fusion and just recently had a multi level cervical fusion and something is wrong and require an MRI and possibly another surgery on my neck. I am in tremendous pain even with taking my medications as prescribed. Is there any literature that you could send me by mail telling me what vitamins this treatment has and how they help with this pain. I have had many many trigger point injections and have tried everything and now that everyone is required to cut their medications back I need to find something to help. I currently have next to NO quality of life. Please help 😭
The Vitamins in the IV contain: B-12, Magnesium, Calcium, Taurine, L-Carnitine, and B Complex. Calcium is needed for bone formation and maintenance. Helping in muscle and joint pain. Magnesium helps maintain muscle function and normal heart rhythm. L-Carnitine plays a crucial role in the production of energy by transporting fatty acids into your cells’ mitochondria. Maintaining healthy blood sugars. B vitamins play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism. Not to mention the hydration boost that IV’s give, especially since opioids tend to dehydrate you. Our pain patients that have gotten the Pain Drip have had positive feedback.
Thank you for responding to my question. I am a patient of yours. Could you check my insurance to see if they would cover something like this? I have my next apt scheduled in December with Dr Rhoades. I am wondering since it is for regular medication refills is it possible to have this treatment when I come for my regular apt? As I do not have a car and usually have to ask or find a ride because to take a cab all the way from Sonora and back is about $240. It would be great since I am already going to be there I could try this vitamin drip. Please call and let me know.. Also I recently saw this on Facebook please let me know if you have heard anything about this treatment I am posting a picture of the web page that I found it on. It’s call DRG stimulation therapy the websit is called about your pain.com.
