Altitude Sickness Be Gone IV - Denver IV Therapy

Altitude Sickness Be Gone

This IV contains minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes, mixed in 500mL of fluid, to help combat dehydration and symptoms of altitude sickness within minutes. Altitude sickness can occur in anyone, but most frequently occurs in people not used to being at high elevation. It occurs when someone goes from low elevation to high elevation, typically over 8,000 feet, and is due to rapid exposure to low levels of oxygen over time.

Symptoms of altitude sickness are usually nausea, vomiting, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, and headache. If not treated, altitude sickness can become severe, and even fatal. If fluid builds up in the brain (cerebral edema) or in the lungs (pulmonary edema), altitude sickness is a medical emergency. Symptoms of severe altitude sickness include coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, confusion, extreme drowsiness, inability to walk in a straight line, etc. The altitude sickness IV can prevent mild altitude sickness from becoming a life-threatening event.

The fluid in the altitude sickness IV will decrease the dehydration that accompanies altitude sickness and get you feeling back to your normal self within minutes. This IV is also packed with vitamins and minerals to help energize your system after being fatigued from high altitude exposure. This IV also contains medications to combat headache and nausea symptoms and is accompanied with oxygen, so that you can feel back to your normal self quickly.

The altitude sickness IV can be done preventatively as well. If you know you are heading into the mountains from sea level or coming to visit the Denver metro area from out of town, consider doing this IV as soon as you arrive in order to prevent symptoms of altitude sickness. This IV also treats acute altitude sickness symptoms immediately. Other factors that contribute to altitude sickness include caffeine and alcohol, so if you are not used to being at high altitude, consider cutting down on these dehydrating substances ahead of time.

Add On Boosts

Vitamin C

Feel like you need more vitamin C? Feel symptoms of a cold or flu coming on? While our Immune Boost IV and Coldbuster IVs contain enough vitamin C to really combat any infection you may be fighting off, we can add increments of 5gm of vitamin C to this IV for more of a boost. This vitamin C boost must be added prior to beginning the IV. Vitamin C will help fight off infection, improve wound healing, boost your immune system, improve skin health, speed up recovery post-operatively, and more.

Vitamin B12

Feeling low in energy and like you need a boost? B12 is already in most of our IVs. However, if you feel like you need a greater energy boost than usual, don’t hesitate to let our nurses know that you would like an extra 1mL of B12 today. This B12 boost can be added at any time during the IV.

Glutathione

2mL of this extremely potent antioxidant can be added to any IV. This is a great add-on for people who like to party, for those suffering from chronic disease or chronic pain, for patients on regular medications, and for those wanting to rid themselves of excess toxin buildup. Glutathione helps decrease inflammation in the body, helps break down fat, is anti-aging, improves sleep, improves energy, and detoxifies. It is a powerful molecule packed with a punch! This addon is typically performed as a “push” during the IV or at the end of the IV.

Trace Minerals

This is a great add-on to any of our IVs. Trace minerals are needed to optimize energy, boost your immune system and improve muscle recovery. We are often depleted of these minerals with our poor gut health and depleted soils. Trace minerals improve skin health, prevent damage from the sun’s rays, decrease muscle spasms, and slow the aging process, both inside and out. This is a great boost to add on for anyone suffering from gut issues, or recovering from a recent illness.

Zofran

This is a medication that can be added to your IV to help decrease nausea. This is sometimes added to our Migraine relief IV or Hangover Rescue IV when nausea is present. We also add this to our altitude sickness IV, when needed.

Toradol

This is a potent anti-inflammatory medication that can be added to some of the above IVs. This medication immediately decreases pain in the body or gets rid of headaches. The physician will first make sure you have no signs of kidney disease, or no reported personal history of kidney dysfunction prior to administering this medication.

Extra Hydration

For just $35, you can add on an extra bag of fluids. These electrolyte-packed bags of fluid will rehydrate your cells and help you recover from illness, stress, or any other life event you are dealing with.

What Our Clients Say

C. Trout – Project Engineering Services, LLC

I highly recommend Dr. Jordanna Quinn to any and all. I have continued to go see her for the last 8 years due to her knowledge, her authenticity, good counsel, and most importantly the time she takes with her patients. Though I know she has a very busy schedule, you will never feel rushed! She is present and engaging … ALWAYS!

L. Pedersen

It is with honor and pleasure that I write this review about Dr. Jordanna Quinn. When thinking about my experiences with her, two words immediately come to mind; professional thoughtfulness. For me, this idea has a great deal of meaning in our age of “quick medical attention”. I know that when I have an appointment with Dr. Quinn she will give me her time and expertise, exploring with compassion what type of support I need to improve my quality of life. She does not shy away from thinking out of the box, networking with others, partnering with me. I am 70 years old and I have had a multitude of experiences with doctors. It would be very difficult for me to identify even a couple of my other doctors with her same attributes and thereby, it is without hesitation that I recommend Dr. Quinn for the here and now as well as the future. Golden is very lucky to have her in its community.

M. Hauser

Dr. Quinn is so great to work with. I love how real and authentic she is, and it puts me at ease knowing that I’m getting the treatment that’s right for me. Bonus points — she always makes me laugh! I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Dr. J. Lincoln

Dr. Jordanna Quinn has been my personal physician for several years, during which we have worked cooperatively toward the common goal of improving and sustaining my personal health. What is unique about Dr. Quinn is her enthusiasm and willingness to listen to her patients and to thoughtfully understand their issues in order to key into practical, real-world solutions and recommendations. I would add that she has also helped me understand the importance of nutrition, exercise, and rest as part of a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Quinn is a wonderful, tireless advocate for personal and public health and I strongly recommend her.

Julia

Dr. Quinn is a wonderful doctor; she is caring, professional, and always takes the time to fully listen to her patients. She always makes me feel reassured when I come to her with a problem and is truly invested in my overall healthcare. I highly recommend her!

Chris

Dr. Quinn is very professional and frank. I appreciate her willingness to be open with her patients and present patients with all of the medical options, not just jumping into one diagnosis without considering all the symptoms. She is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely CARES about her patients.

Dan

Over the past few years, I’ve seen Dr. Quinn (medicine woman LOL) for a myriad of sport-related injuries ranging from should separations to spine compression issues to torn knee ligaments. The attention I’ve received from Dr. Quinn is top-notch! she always gets me back on my feet and feeling good. Admittedly I had never heard of a D.O. before, but after struggling to find long-term relief for chronic back issues, I gave Osteopathic Medicine a try. Never again will I be going back to an MD!

Cole

I was having tendinitis issue. She examined me and we came up with a friend form of treatment. She was very personal and caring in her treatment approach.

Meg

Dr. Quinn is an exceptional provider. She truly cares for her patients, and it is obvious. She takes the time to listen to your needs, and carefully explains all of your options to you (from conservative treatment to medications to supplements to interventions and surgery if need be). She is efficient and almost always runs on time, or close to on time. I never feel rushed when I’m with her during a visit. She is happy to answer any and all questions that I have. I trust her completely.

Chris

Dr. Quinn is an amazing D.O. who actually cares about patients and spends the necessary time identifying and solving the root issues of health problems, as opposed to just treating symptoms. I highly recommend Kore Regenerative Medicine for the perfect balance of Western/Holistic medicine and care.

AB

Dr. Quinn was monumental in my recovery from an ankle injury. After having 5 surgeries 10+ years ago, my bone and cartilage had finally degraded to the point that I was looking at surgery #6. Wanting to avoid this at all costs, but being fully non-weight bearing due to extreme pain, Dr. Quinn came highly recommended for her skills with stem cells. After an initial consultation, I opted to follow her recommendation for stem cells with 3 follow up PRPs. Not only was she incredibly skilled with injecting my ankle using an ultrasound machine, she was kind and compassionate. I felt truly heard by her and started to see results from the stem cells within a month. At 6 months out, I was able to backpack Australia and SE Asia for 3 months. I can’t recommend her enough!

Donald K.

As a competitive master’s level athlete, I put considerable stress on my aging body. In the last decade, I have sustained injuries to shoulders, elbows, thumbs, plantar fascia, hips, groin, neck, and other areas. I have enjoyed the benefits of regenerative medicine to treat these injuries including PRP, prolotherapy, trigger-point injections, etc.

I have used Dr. Quinn to provide these treatments since returning to Denver several years ago. She is s distinguished in the use of regenerative techniques because of her extensive knowledge of muscle and tendon structures. I also find that her use of ultrasound machines to locate precise locations for injection gives a unique advantage relative to other doctors. I strongly recommend Dr. Quinn when it comes to regenerative medical treatments.

Christian Quinn

Dr. Jordanna Quinn treated me for instability in my back recently. An issue that I have been dealing with for years with no lasting relief from chiropractors and physical therapists. Even after my first treatment of prolotherapy, I am seeing vast improvement. She was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend!

W. Casey

I’ve had the benefit of treatment by Dr. Quinn — as a patient, I found her a genuinely supportive caregiver. As someone whose interests run toward leading-edge healthcare (I read primary literature A LOT), I found that — behind a superb bedside manner — is a very acute brain that’s quite on top of the latest research. That’s a rarity. Could not recommend her more strongly.

Nancy from Vail

Dr. Quinn exudes passion, skill, and knowledge about helping the body to heal itself. I saw her about 4 years ago for PRP in my left shoulder when 2 world-renowned surgeons wanted to operate. She successfully treated the tears in my shoulder that led to 99.5% improvement in strength, mobility, and activity. When I had a ski injury to the left shoulder, I promptly scheduled an appointment to work with her again, with optimism that I will have another positive outcome. I live in the Vail Valley known for its world-class surgeons, and many practices are now offering regenerative therapies as well. My trust and confidence are in Dr. Quinn.

Mark Akers DC - Chiropractic Physician

Very grateful to Dr Jordanna Quinn for her Regenerative Medicine Therapy treatments. Years back I overstretched my sacroiliac with an injury while training in Taekwondo. This resulted in ongoing instability of my pelvis that made it very difficult to perform the complex maneuvers. I am a Chiropractor that specializes in Sacroiliac rehab. Those skills allowed me to compete and win a World Championship but within a year of that I had to retire because I could not maintain that level of performance with an unstable Sacroiliac. This condition has plagued me in all areas of my life. Dr Quinn’s treatments have brought me a level of stability that I had given up on ever experiencing again. She has given me a new lease on life and the ability to move with strength and control. HAD IT, LOST IT, GOT IT BACK how great is that. Thanks Doc!!!!

Christina

My knee is doing GREAT after PRP. I’m back to normal activities and can bend all the way now. No pain or discomfort. Botox is great as well. Thank you!

Emily

Thank you for all you have helped me with! My life is so much better. It is unrecognizable. I couldn’t work, travel alone, manage my household, or live. Now I travel! I’m planning a trip overseas. I sailed around the entire Earth in 2009, such a privilege, and I want to travel so much more again. And that’s because of the help you’ve given me.
The confidence that I can manifest what I want and just all over feeling so much better.

It makes me so happy and so so so sad, but I can’t dwell on the years of my life lost. Thank you for making me want to be alive. I want to be here and that’s a huge change for me and I’ve had these feelings for the last two years, but it just all feels like I am where I need to be and my appreciation can’t be put into words. How can I say thank you for helping me want to be alive? Thank you.
