Alive and Well’s Chelation IV Therapy in Austin is a treatment designed to remove harmful toxins and support overall health. Our team offers a comprehensive approach to detoxification and wellness, whether your goal is to restore circulation, treat heavy metal toxicity, or strengthen cardiovascular health.
Chelation IV Therapy is a scientifically backed process that helps remove toxic metals from the body using chelating agents like EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). These agents bind with harmful toxins, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, forming soluble complexes that are naturally excreted through urine.
This therapy is widely recognized for its role in heavy metal detox, cardiovascular health, and oxidative stress reduction, making it a key component of integrative medicine. If you’re looking for expert chelation IV therapy in Austin, TX, our clinic provides a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your health needs.
Modern lifestyles expose us to more environmental toxins than ever before, from pollution and processed foods to industrial chemicals and heavy metals.

Your journey with Chelation IV Therapy starts with an initial consultation, where our medical team assesses your health history, symptoms, and goals. This helps us create a treatment plan that suits your current condition.
During the session, chelating agents are administered through an intravenous infusion to remove heavy metals and toxins. The process typically lasts one to three hours, depending on your individual treatment plan. Many patients use this time to relax, read, or even catch up on emails.
After your session, our team provides post-treatment care recommendations, including hydration, nutritional support, and lifestyle tips to enhance the benefits of your therapy. Regular sessions may be recommended based on your specific health goals, ensuring long-term detoxification and improved circulation.

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
