Steve Zivich, M.D. is thrilled to offer IV therapy (also known as hydration infusion) at Boston Direct Health in Boston, MA. This holistic treatment uses an intravenous (IV) tube to deliver a fluid mixture of essential vitamins, electrolytes, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream.
This delivery method enables the fluids to circulate through your body at a much faster rate than drinking fluids can. It provides rapid hydration to boost energy, supports muscle recovery, removes toxins from the body, and more. To book an appointment, call our office today at 617-304-1965.

How does IV therapy work?
IV therapy is performed on-site at Boston Direct Health in Boston, MA. It usually takes about 30 – 45 minutes, and most patients will experience the full benefits in about 2-4 hours afterward.
First, the injection site will be gently cleaned with an alcohol swab, and the IV will be inserted directly into a vein in your arm. Each hydration therapy cocktail is uniquely created to suit the patient’s needs. Your unique combination of vitamins and minerals will be developed after an initial consult with Dr. Zivich. IV hydration not only replenishes water molecules but helps rid free radicals to detoxify your body for optimal rejuvenation.
What are the main benefits of IV therapy?
When you drink water or an electrolyte beverage, it first has to pass through your digestive system. This not only adds to the time your body needs to process the nutrients and vitamins, but it can also reduce their effectiveness. IV hydration therapy allows the hydration, vitamins, and nutrients to flow directly into your bloodstream, where they can be instantly used without losing potency.
Is it safe?
Yes, for the majority of patients, IV hydration therapy can be very safe and effective when administered by experienced medical professionals like our team members at Boston Direct Health. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and current condition to ensure IV hydration therapy is right for you.
Does it hurt?
No, most patients don’t find IV hydration therapy uncomfortable. There is a slight pinch when the IV is inserted, but after that, the process can be very comfortable for most people, allowing them to read, listen to music, or browse their phones during treatment.
There may be a slight feeling of coolness as the IV drips into your system, but it is not painful or uncomfortable.
