If you train hard, or you’re just trying to bounce back faster from a physically demanding week, you’ve probably heard of IV therapy for recovery. What most people don’t know until they ask is what’s actually in the bag and what it costs. Here’s the real answer, no vague pricing language and no guessing at what you’re paying for.
I’m Dr. Kim Hester, and the Recovery & Performance IV is one of the more popular kits we offer at Legacy Chiropractic. It’s $175, and here’s exactly who it’s built for, what’s in it, and how it fits alongside the chiropractic care we already do.
What’s In the Recovery & Performance IV
This infusion is built around hydration, electrolytes, and a blend of vitamins and amino acids aimed at reducing inflammation and supporting muscle repair after physical strain. It’s delivered directly into the bloodstream, so the body absorbs it faster and more completely than anything taken orally, which is the whole point of IV therapy over a supplement you’d take at home.
Unlike a general wellness IV, this one is specifically formulated for people recovering from exercise, physical labor, or an injury that’s still healing. The blend is intentionally different from something like our Immunity or Brainstorm kits, which are built for different goals entirely. Dehydration and depleted electrolytes are common after intense physical activity, and they’re part of why soreness and fatigue tend to linger longer than they should.
Who This Kit Is Built For
Athletes and weekend warriors are the most common patients requesting this one, but it’s not limited to them at all. We also see it used by:
- Anyone recovering from an intense training block, race, or tournament
- Patients doing physically demanding jobs who feel run down by midweek
- People recovering from minor injuries who want extra support alongside chiropractic care
- Patients who just feel depleted after a stretch of poor sleep or high stress, even without a specific injury

What It Actually Costs
The Recovery & Performance IV is $175. That’s a flat price, no membership required and no insurance billing involved, since IV therapy is a cash-pay service across the board.
For comparison, our full kit menu ranges from $150 for a basic Brainstorm or Quench infusion up to $350 for our specialty NAD+ treatment. Recovery & Performance sits in the middle of that range, which reflects the more targeted blend of ingredients it includes compared to our entry-level kits. There’s no hidden add-on pricing once you’re in the chair, and no upsell once the infusion starts.
What to Expect During Your Infusion
The appointment itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish. You’ll be seated comfortably while the IV runs, and most patients read, work on their phone, or just relax during the session rather than treating it as a medical procedure to dread. There’s no downtime needed afterward, so you can head straight back to your day, whether that’s back to work or back to training.

How It Pairs With Chiropractic Care
IV therapy supports the body from the inside, but it doesn’t replace addressing the mechanical source of pain or restriction. That’s where chiropractic adjustments come in. Many patients pair a Recovery & Performance IV with regular visits using the Zone Technique, since the two approaches work from different angles toward the same goal of getting the body functioning the way it should.
I’ve seen patients get the most out of this combination when they’re dealing with both physical depletion and an actual structural issue, like a strained lower back that’s slow to heal. The IV addresses the inflammation and hydration side, while the adjustment addresses the mechanical restriction causing the pain in the first place. Neither one alone tends to get the same result as both together.
