Whether you’re a professional athlete or just an avid workout enthusiast, proper sports recovery is key to keeping up your performance and endurance. IV therapy can help.
IVs deliver a balanced combination of fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream. This prevents dehydration. It also helps avoid muscle cramps caused by dehydration and salt imbalance.
Detoxification
Working out requires a lot of energy and burns through your micro- and macro-nutrient supply. This leads to dehydration, fatigue, stress on your body’s cells and microscopic muscle tears.
IV therapy can help prevent these issues by delivering water and essential nutrients directly to your bloodstream. Your body absorbs these much more efficiently than through oral supplements. Whether you’re looking for pre-workout hydration or a post-workout recovery boost, Arizona IV Medics has an IV option to suit your needs.
Our Athlete Prep IV is specially formulated to replenish fluids, vitamins and minerals lost during exercise. This treatment can help prevent muscle cramps and improve performance so you can push harder, faster, and further. Many athletes also use IVs to get a quick energy boost before competitions. These treatments contain antioxidants like glutathione and vitamin C which reduce oxidative stress and boost energy levels. They also include magnesium and dextrose to prevent muscle cramps. Some NFL and collegiate football teams use this as a way to “prehydrate” their players before a game.
Muscle Repair
If you’re an athlete, you understand how important hydration is to your performance. When exercising, your body loses fluids through sweat, which can lead to muscle cramps and a decrease in overall performance. IV therapy allows you to flood your cells with the fluids and nutrients you need to stay hydrated. This means you’ll recover faster than ever.
In addition to providing the hydration you need, an IV sports recovery treatment can also include glutathione and vitamin C, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. This helps reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery, so you can get back to the gym or to your next game.
Athletes from all levels use IV infusions to optimize their performance and help them recover from intense workouts and sporting events. These treatments are safe, fast-acting, and convenient. They can be taken before a game or training session, or afterward to boost your energy. They can also be administered regularly to maintain optimal hydration, endurance, and performance.
Endurance
In order to be able to participate in athletics, you must have the endurance necessary to keep going. IV therapy can help you achieve that by providing your body with vitamin-rich hydration and essential nutrients like zinc, magnesium and more.
Dehydration is a common pitfall for athletes because intense physical exertion can cause extreme sweating that drains the body of fluids and minerals. When this happens, a person’s endurance is affected, which can lead to fatigue, lack of energy, and even mood changes.
IV therapy for athletes has been a staple in the medical tents of marathons and elite Ironman events for decades, and it can be used to optimize performance before and after an event. IV hydration for sports therapy treatments deliver fluids with critical electrolytes directly to the bloodstream, which is more efficient than drinking water or sports drinks that can be diluted in the stomach. Athletes can use IV treatments such as the Myers’ Cocktail to hydrate before a competition or after a workout for optimal recovery.
Recovery
Athletes are often in great shape and are pushing their bodies to the limits, but even top athletes sometimes experience aches and pains after a workout or an athletic event. They also lose a lot of fluids and minerals through sweat, which can lead to dehydration and slow recovery.
IV therapy can give athletes the hydration and nutrients they need to recover quickly. One of the most popular courses of IV therapy for athletic recovery and performance is a Myers’ Cocktail, which contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes to reduce fatigue, improve energy levels, and help you bounce back faster after intense exercise.
High-level studies confirm that IV prehydration prevents dehydration and the onset of exercise-associated muscle cramps. Our Athlete Prep IV contains magnesium and zinc, which improve your energy levels so you can stay in the gym or on the field longer. This is an ideal treatment for athletes before or after a competition to ensure they can go the distance.
