Botox & Injection

  • Botox treatments are quick with minimal discomfort. The treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time. Many people get Botox during their lunch hours and are able to return to work right after their appointment.

  • Botox appointments at Nervana Neurospa are 30 min. They are scheduled every 12 weeks with any of our clinicians, nurse practitioners, and/or specialists. No special preparation is needed, and afterwards you can go about your day as you normally would with little restrictions. Botox can be used for several other neurological conditions as well.

  • The procedure is not considered painful. Most patients report a brief period of discomfort during the injection, which does not persist once the procedure is complete.

  • A week before the treatment most physicians will advise patients to stop consuming alcohol or taking medications or supplements that thin the blood like aspirin, ibuprofen, Gingko Biloba, or Ginseng. This will help minimize bruising after the procedure.

  • Injection appointments at Nervana Neurospa can be 30 min–90 min in duration depending on the type of injection and whether IV fluids are administered. No special preparation is needed, and afterwards you can go about your day as your normally would with little restrictions.


IV Therapy

  • Yes, vitamins and nutrients taken orally are only partially absorbed. Getting vitamins through the IV process is a direct route to the bloodstream and your cells for maximum absorption. We recommend continuing your daily vitamin regimen.

  • IV hydration goes straight to your blood stream bypassing the GI tract and absorbing 100% of the nutrients. Typically you will feel the effects within an hour of treatment. Some of our drip cocktails are designed for long term benefits and may not give you the immediate boost you are looking for.

  • IV therapy appointments are available to patients. Patients are scheduled an appointment with one of our providers. Our providers will determine if IV therapy is appropriate and order the medications and fluids that will be administered during the IV. Our nurse will perform the IV. Duration of IV therapy can range from 30 min–90 min. Medications often administered during IV/IM/SQ therapy may include vitamins, magnesium, nausea medications, and pain medications, in addition to the administration of IV fluids.

  • Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally occurring in foods including fruits and vegetables. It may be found in vegetables such as peppers, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, potatoes, and spinach and in fruits such as citrus, berries, and tomatoes. The benefits of vitamin C include enhancing the function of your immune system, maintaining eye health, and protecting against cardiovascular disease. It also is important in blood vessel health and the maintenance of collagen and cartilage in your body. Some people may be more susceptible than others to deficiencies in vitamin C including smokers, people with certain gastrointestinal conditions, or those with a limited diet.

  • Yes! Our IV therapy involves the administration of nutrients, vitamins, and fluids directly into the bloodstream through an IV line, with the goal of improving overall health and well-being, boosting energy levels, and promoting healing and recovery. Fast!

  • We use only skilled professionals for IV placement to ensure the least amount of pain is felt if any at all. Once the IV is in place only a very small, flexible straw will be left in the vein ensuring a comfortable session.


Massage

  • Our Massage Menu entails Medical, Sports, Sports Recovery, and Lymphatic. Our medical massages are focused on treating specific medical conditions and injuries. Our sports and sports recovery massages are aimed at enhancing athletic performance and preventing injuries. Our lymphatic massages are designed to improve lymph flow and reduce swelling.

  • Our acupuncture services involve the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, with the goal of promoting the body's natural healing processes and alleviating pain and other symptoms. The insertion usually causes little discomfort and our patients report they often don’t feel them inserted at all. A typical treatment uses 5 to 20 needles. You might feel a mild ache when the needle reaches the correct depth, but that’s about it.


Hyperbaric Chamber

Oxygen Therapy

  • We have a mono-place hyperbaric chamber. This chamber allows for the treatment of a single patient. This chamber is pressurized with 95% oxygen and the patient simply breathes in the oxygen while lying on our specialized bed.

  • Treatment sessions vary from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.

    It depends on the client and lifestyle variables.

  • The number and frequency of treatments needed varies with the specific condition that is being treated. For many conditions, one treatment a day (Monday through Friday) is given for a total of 20 to 30 treatments, usually a total of four to six weeks.

  • We offer highly beneficial Oxygen Aromatherapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

  • Shower and abstain from using perfumes and deodorants during your hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Please leave your wigs and jewelry at home as well. Keep your body as clean and natural as possible.

    Keep your body healthy at least a couple weeks before your HBOT treatment. Alcohol and carbonated beverages should be avoided for at least four weeks prior to HBOT.

    Put the tobacco away. If you are a smoker, try to stop smoking for the length of your hyperbaric oxygen treatment because tobacco may block your body’s natural ability to transfer oxygen.

    Certain medications should be avoided ahead of time. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may affect certain medications. Consult with your healthcare providers in advance to discuss any medications you’re taking.

    HBOT treatments last anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. We recommend that you receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for an extended period of time. It may take multiple sessions before you start seeing the benefits- which is why we offer session packages
