IM Vitamin Injections
Intramuscular vitamin injections administered directly into the muscle are more effective than oral vitamins alone due to increased absorption. Including vitamins in any wellness regimen will help to promote balance, rejuvenation, and vibrancy.
Why Get an Intramuscular Vitamin Injection?
Studies show that many of us are deficient in a number of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin shots are a great way to get yourself back on track. Vitamin absorption through the bloodstream can be more efficiently utilized by the body, whether by injection into a muscle or infusion directly into the bloodstream. Absorption through your digestive system, while also very effective is slower and often requires more frequent dosage. VIVA Wellness offers all three options—IM Vitamin Injections, IV Vitamin Infusions, and Vitamin Supplements.
IM Vitamin Injections are great for those with busy schedules who want to be in and out in 15 minutes or less. You may receive more than one IM injection per day, which will be administered in different injection sites. If you have questions about which injections pair well together toward addressing your goals, please call or text before booking.
What to Expect When Getting an IM Vitamin Injection
After checking in for your appointment, the nurse will take you into an office for privacy. Some injections that are smaller in volume can be given in the arm or deltoid muscle, however, large volume injections like our metabolism booster must be given in a larger muscle such as the dorsogluteal site located on the outer aspect of your buttocks near your hip. Rest assured all of our nurses are professional and have cared for a wide array of people in the hospital setting for a number of years before transitioning to VIVA Wellness. Your comfort and privacy is of utmost importance. We will get you into a comfortable position with the injection site exposed.
Next, the area will be cleaned with alcohol prep and then numbed with an ethyl alcohol spray which feels cold and tingly! Our hope is that you feel as little discomfort as possible. Some clients describe a pinch or dull ache upon injection. Afterwards, we’ll hold pressure and apply a bandage per your preference. That’s it! You can receive more than one IM injection in the same visit, but we’ll have to rotate sites to promote best absorption of the vitamin components. We recommend gently massaging the site if you notice any sensation, but there is no additional aftercare needed. If you have questions or concerns, our nurses would be happy to address them!
Please notify us of any prescription or over the counter drugs you may be taking upon scheduling or before your visit.
