What is IM Therapy?
Intramuscular (IM) therapy is a technique for administering medications and essential nutrients directly into a muscle. The muscle tissue provides a rich blood supply, allowing for faster absorption of the injected substance compared to other routes, like taking medications orally. IM injections are a safe and effective way to deliver many medications and therapies, including vitamins and minerals, pain relievers, antibiotics, and hormones
IM Shot Options at 212 Med Spa
At 212 Med Spa, we offer several IM injection options, including:
- Vitamin B12 injections: Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, red blood cell formation, and neurological function. B12 injections can help improve energy levels, mood, and cognitive function. You can learn more about our B12 therapy on our NAD+ Therapy page.
- Glutathione injections: Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Glutathione injections may help improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system.
- Myers’ Cocktail injections: The Myers’ Cocktail is a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can help improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and alleviate chronic pain conditions.
Benefits of IM Therapy
IM therapy offers many benefits over other routes of medication administration, including:
- Faster absorption: Medications injected intramuscularly are absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly than oral medications. Muscle tissue has a rich blood supply, which allows the medication to enter the bloodstream directly.
- Improved bioavailability: Bioavailability refers to the amount of medication that reaches the bloodstream and is available to exert its effects. IM injections deliver medications directly into the muscle tissue, bypassing the digestive system. This can improve the bioavailability of certain medications, especially those poorly absorbed from the gut.
- More effective for certain medications: Some medications are not well-absorbed from the gut or are destroyed by the digestive system. IM injections are a more effective way to deliver these medications.
Additional Intramuscular Therapy Benefits
Boost Healing and Energy
IM therapy can be used to deliver medications and nutrients that can help boost healing and energy levels. For example, vitamin B12 injections can help improve energy production and reduce fatigue. Additionally, IM injections can be used to deliver medications that can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Replenish Your Body’s Nutrients
IM therapy can also be used to replenish your body’s essential nutrients. For example, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can be treated with IM injections. Plus, IM injections can be used to deliver amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
Faster Results and Wellness Unlocked
As we’ve mentioned (and must underscore), because IM injections deliver medications directly into the muscle tissue, they can provide faster results than other routes of administration (e.g. oral medications). We love IM therapy because medication does not need to be absorbed from the gut before it can enter the bloodstream.
FAQ

A: Most patients experience minimal discomfort from IM injections. The injection site may be slightly sore or bruised for a short time. Our medical professionals use techniques to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
