On-Site IV Fluid Therapy
When you're feeling dehydrated, fatigued, or recovering from an illness, sometimes oral hydration isn’t enough. At Express Family Care in Roanoke, Virginia, we offer on-site IV fluid therapy to quickly restore your hydration and energy levels, helping you get back on your feet faster.
What is IV Fluid Therapy?
IV (intravenous) fluid therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, and sometimes medications directly into your bloodstream through an IV line. This method allows your body to absorb the fluids more efficiently than drinking fluids, making it especially beneficial when fast hydration or medication delivery is needed.
When is IV Fluid Therapy Needed?
There are several situations where IV fluid therapy may be the best treatment option, including:
- Dehydration: Whether due to illness, excessive exercise, heat exhaustion, or not drinking enough fluids, dehydration can quickly deplete your body’s electrolyte levels.
- Stomach Illness: Vomiting, diarrhea, or severe nausea from illnesses like the flu or food poisoning can make it difficult to stay hydrated.
- Fatigue or Exhaustion: Overexertion, lack of sleep, or illness-related fatigue can leave your body drained. IV fluids help quickly replenish energy levels.
- Hangovers: Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration and nutrient loss. IV fluids help restore balance, relieving symptoms like headaches, nausea, and fatigue.
Why Choose IV Fluids Over Oral Hydration?
While drinking fluids is always important, there are times when your body may not be able to absorb them effectively. IV fluids bypass the digestive system, allowing for immediate rehydration. This is especially helpful when dealing with severe dehydration, nausea, or situations where fast recovery is necessary.

At Express Family Care, we make IV fluid therapy accessible and convenient. With no need to go to an emergency room or specialized clinic, our healthcare providers can administer IV fluids right on-site.

How It Works
When you arrive at one of our clinics, our healthcare professionals will assess your condition and determine if IV fluid therapy is appropriate. Once recommended, we will:
- Set up the IV line: A small needle is inserted into a vein in your arm, delivering fluids directly into your bloodstream.
- Monitor your response: We will monitor you throughout the process to ensure you’re comfortable and benefiting from the therapy.
- Quick Recovery: Most IV treatments take 30-60 minutes, and you'll likely start feeling relief shortly after your session begins.
