IV Therapy
Advance Health and Wellness Centre no offers IV Therapy and Vitamin injections.
IV Therapy with a naturopathic doctor involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and fluids directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) drip. Because the nutrients bypass the digestive system, they can be absorbed more quickly and at higher concentrations than oral supplements. Naturopathic IV therapy is typically customized based on a patient’s health history, symptoms, goals, and sometimes lab work. ,

This means our clinic has certified physiotherapists trained in concussion management and are ready to treat patients with concussions as well as do baseline testing.
CCMI is a global concussion research and clinical management network with 300+ clinic locations that provide concussion testing, management, and treatment services across five countries. Through evidence-based training programs and integrated healthcare technologies, CCMI empowers multidisciplinary teams to provide standardized care to those impacted by concussions. CCMI serves to improve the collective understanding of the prevention, management, and prognosis of concussion, while providing accessible, patient-centric care based on the latest scientific and medical research.
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, among others.
To further understand what a concussion is, watch this video for an in-depth whiteboard demonstration from Dr. Cameron Marshall (@Concussion_Doc)!
