IV Hydration Therapy & Nutrient Injections for Shingles Pain Relief

February 14, 2025

Supporting Recovery & Reducing Nerve Pain at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness

Shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), can lead to severe nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia), fatigue, and weakened immunity. At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, we offer IV hydration therapy and nutrient injections designed to alleviate symptoms, accelerate healing, and improve overall well-being.


How IV Therapy Supports Shingles Recovery

Pain Reduction & Nerve Healing

  • Vitamin B12 & B-Complex: Essential for nerve regeneration and reducing nerve-related pain. (Neurology Research International, 2013)
  • Magnesium: Helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and alleviate nerve discomfort. (The Journal of Pain Research, 2018)
  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): A potent antioxidant that improves nerve function and reduces burning pain. (Free Radical Biology & Medicine, 2011)

Boosts Immune Function

  • High-Dose Vitamin C: Shown to suppress viral replication and enhance immune response. (The Journal of Translational Medicine, 2014)
  • Zinc & Selenium: Strengthen immune defenses, helping the body fight the varicella-zoster virus.

Reduces Inflammation & Speeds Healing

  • Glutathione: A powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress and supports skin healing. (Antioxidants, 2020)

Hydration & Energy Restoration

  • IV Fluids: Combat dehydration, maintain electrolyte balance, and support overall recovery.


Scientific Evidence Supporting IV Therapy for Shingles

-Vitamin C for Shingles Pain: A study published in The Journal of Translational Medicine found that high-dose IV vitamin C reduced postherpetic neuralgia pain and improved skin healing.
-
Alpha-Lipoic Acid & Neuropathy: Research in Free Radical Biology & Medicine suggests ALA reduces oxidative stress and nerve pain in patients with neuropathic conditions, including shingles-related neuralgia.
-
Magnesium for Nerve Pain: A study in The Journal of Pain Research reported that IV magnesium reduced neuropathic pain intensity in patients suffering from nerve-related conditions.
-
B12 for Nerve Repair: Clinical trials in Neurology Research International found that vitamin B12 significantly improved nerve function and reduced burning pain in neuropathy patients.


What to Expect

-Improvement in nerve pain and fatigue after IV hydration.
-
Faster healing of shingles lesions with enhanced immune support.
-
Long-term relief from postherpetic neuralgia with consistent nutrient therapy.
-
Improved energy levels and overall well-being.

In the world of regenerative medicine and anti-aging therapies, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) has emerged as a game-changer. This essential coenzyme plays a crucial role in cellular function, energy production, and overall health. However, as we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, and metabolic imbalances. At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, we offer NAD+ IV infusions and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) protocols to help replenish NAD+ levels, promoting optimal health, energy, and longevity. What exactly is NAD+? NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and biological regulation. However, aging, stress, and environmental toxins deplete NAD+ levels, leading to reduced cellular efficiency and accelerated aging (Yoshino, et al., 2018). Benefits of NAD+ IV Infusions and Sub-Q Protocols Both NAD+ IV therapy and subcutaneous injections deliver high doses of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream or tissue, ensuring maximum absorption and efficacy. The benefits include: Enhanced Energy Production -NAD+ is essential for ATP production, the body’s primary energy source. Replenishing NAD+ levels combats fatigue and boosts endurance (Grant, et al., 2019). Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity NAD+ supports brain health by promoting neuroplasticity, reducing brain fog, and improving focus and memory. Research suggests it may also help prevent neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (Huang & Sinclair, 2021). Anti-Aging and Longevity NAD+ activates sirtuins—proteins linked to longevity, cellular repair, and reduced inflammation. It also aids in DNA repair, slowing down the aging process (Imai & Guarente, 2016). Detoxification and Addiction Recovery NAD+ IV therapy has been used to help individuals recovering from substance use by reducing withdrawal symptoms and restoring brain chemistry. It also assists in detoxification by supporting liver function (Miller, et al., 2020). Muscle Recovery and Performance Athletes benefit from NAD+ therapy due to its role in reducing muscle fatigue, enhancing recovery, and improving physical performance (Zhang, et al., 2022). Metabolic and Weight Management Support NAD+ enhances metabolic function, supports insulin sensitivity, and promotes healthy weight management (Rajman, et al., 2018). Immune System and Cellular Repair By enhancing cellular resilience, NAD+ helps boost the immune system and supports overall wellness (Verdin, 2015). Who Can Benefit from NAD+ Therapy? NAD+ IV infusions and subcutaneous injections are beneficial for: -Individuals experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy levels -Those looking to improve cognitive function and mental clarity -People seeking anti-aging and longevity support -Athletes aiming for better recovery and endurance -Individuals recovering from substance use or detox programs -Those dealing with metabolic conditions or weight management issues -Anyone exposed to high levels of stress or environmental toxins NAD+ IV Infusion vs. Subcutaneous Protocols IV Infusion: Delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for rapid absorption Typically administered over 1-4 hours Ideal for those needing immediate and higher-dose NAD+ replenishment Subcutaneous Injection (Sub-Q Protocols): Allows for slow and steady absorption of NAD+ Can be self-administered at home with proper guidance Ideal for ongoing maintenance and lower, sustained dosing Expected Outcomes After receiving NAD+ therapy at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, most individuals report: -Increased energy levels and reduced fatigue -Improved mental clarity, focus, and memory -Enhanced mood and reduced stress -Better sleep quality -Faster recovery from workouts or illness -Overall sense of well-being and vitality Experience the Benefits of NAD+ Therapy at Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness If you’re looking to optimize your health, combat fatigue, or enhance longevity, NAD+ therapy could be the missing piece of your wellness puzzle. At Minnesota IV Hydration and Wellness, our team of experienced professionals will tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.
