Call ☎ (631) 600-7950 or contact us online for your first consultation.
Our Functional Medicine approach to Immune System Support takes a comprehensive look at clinical, lifestyle, hormonal, genetic and environmental factors and how they impact one another. Some of the most common factors recognized for their impact on immune function include:
With a patient-centered approach focused on root causes compromising your immunity, we aim to bring to bear the most current scientific advances – in nutrition, gut health and genetics and more - not simply to treat illness and disease, but to achieve optimal immune function.
From NAD+ therapy to Vitamin D shots, an array of immune-modulating treatments is available at Balanced Health & Wellness to strengthen your immune system.
All of our immune support services – from IV drips to injections - are administered by licensed nurses under medical supervision.
Functional Medicine is designed to be a lifelong, collaborative partnership between doctor and patient where, together, we seek to understand the function of all your bodily systems as an essential aspect of strengthening your immune function.
At your initial consultation, we will take a medical history and review any medications, supplements or herbal medications you’re taking, as well as assess any current medical needs you may have. A functional evaluation of your health typically involves a full physical exam that includes a review of your hormone function and other necessary testing.
Our specialized drips and injections for Immune System Support usually involve sessions that last less than an hour and can be scheduled on your lunch hour. Your initial consultation may take longer as we conduct a full medical evaluation and develop your treatment plan.
Depending on the treatment option you choose, you can come in seasonally, monthly or as needed. Ingredients can be customized in line with your overall health and specific medical needs.
In designing a personalized treatment plan for Immune System Support, our aim is to understand your individual experience, health symptoms and wellness goals all in context. With this information in hand, we then work with you to develop an approach that may include not only our specialized drips and injections for immune support, but also any of the following:
While the goal of your treatment plan is to optimize your immunity, lifelong health, wellness and longevity, it can also be effective in addressing very specific medical conditions, especially where other approaches have failed.
Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers high doses of vitamins, minerals, fluids and other nutrient support directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract. This ensures complete bioavailability so that immune cells can immediately absorb nutrients at levels higher than oral supplements can provide.
If you are experiencing frequent illnesses, are slow to recover, or exhibit certain chronic symptoms, you may need to be evaluated to see if you might benefit from Immune System Support.
It’s generally recommended once or twice each month, but the ideal schedule depends on your individual health issues, goals, lifestyle, stress levels, and seasonal patterns.
Neither IV therapy nor injections are covered by insurance.
Your personalized treatment plan will be designed just for you – with your input and step-by-step involvement. For more questions about our approach to Immune System Support, reach out to one of our caring team members today. Call us at ☎ (631) 600-7950.
