Does IV Therapy Hurt?

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and simple the process is. You may feel a brief pinch or slight stingwhen the needle is first inserted into the vein. After that, the discomfort usually subsides, and the infusion itself is typically painless and well-tolerated.

For added comfort, medical professionals often use small, fine needles and may apply techniques to minimize discomfort. If you feel any unusual pain or irritation during the session, you should always let your provider know right away.

A quick pinch at the start is normal, but most people find IV therapy to be a comfortable and stress-free experience.
