Why You May Want to Consider Infusion Therapy as Part of Your Treatment Plan

Autoimmune diseases affect multiple organs and symptoms and can be challenging to manage. Fortunately, advances in medicine have brought innovative treatments, including intravenous biologic medications, that can help you gain better symptom control.

If you’re dealing with arthritis or an autoimmune disease, managing your symptoms and maintaining your health can feel overwhelming. While oral medications and lifestyle changes are effective, you may also want to discuss  IV infusion therapy.  Our expert team of rheumatology specialists here at Comprehensive Arthritis Care offer personalized treatment, including IV therapy to help you control your symptoms and feel your best. Let’s discuss why this innovative treatment is an excellent addition to your health routine.

Direct and efficient nutrient and medication delivery

IV infusion therapy provides a direct and efficient way to deliver essential nutrients, medications, and fluids directly into your bloodstream. Unlike oral medications that must be absorbed through the digestive system, IV therapy bypasses this process, allowing for faster and more complete absorption. 

This means you can experience the benefits of the therapy more quickly, which is especially important if you’re dealing with acute symptoms or flare-ups. IV infusion therapy uses fluids, nutrients, and FDA-approved biologic disease-modifying medications designed specifically to target certain cells involved in immune response.

Tailored treatment options

With IV infusion therapy, we can tailor treatments to your specific needs. Our team offers a broad spectrum of infusible medications designed to target arthritis, gout and other autoimmune diseases

Whether you need anti-inflammatory medications to reduce joint pain and swelling or immunosuppressants to help control an overactive immune system, our providers can customize your infusion therapy to address your unique health challenges. 

IV therapy is available for the following:

    • Vasculitis

These medications help relieve symptoms and slow disease progression. Patients are monitored carefully for side effects, and kept comfortable during infusions. 

Comprehensive care in a state-of-the-art setting

At Comprehensive Arthritis Care, we provide IV infusion therapy in our state-of-the-art on-site infusion suite. This comfortable and modern facility is designed to make your treatment experience as pleasant as possible. 

Our skilled and compassionate nurses are dedicated to providing comprehensive care. From your initial consultation to each infusion session, we prioritize your comfort and well-being.

Enhanced symptom management

For patients with rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, managing symptoms is a constant challenge. The goal is to increase the time between flare-ups so you feel better for longer, and to reduce the length and severity of flares so you bounce back more quickly. 

IV infusion therapy provides consistent and effective relief to ensure that your condition is well-managed. Patients who receive IV infusion therapy often experience faster improvements in pain levels, energy, and overall functioning. 

Additionally, by reducing the frequency and severity of flare-ups,  IV infusion therapy can help you gain more stability and predictability in your health.
