IV Saline Therapy (POTS & Autonomic Dysfunction)

What We Offer

PIH provides IV normal saline infusions for individuals with POTS or other forms of autonomic dysfunction who struggle to maintain hydration and blood pressure orally.

Typical infusion: 1 litre of saline, often weekly or as clinically indicated.

Why Saline Infusions?

Saline infusions can help stabilize:

  • Dizziness or near-fainting

  • Tachycardia

  • Fatigue

  • Low blood pressure

  • Difficulty tolerating upright posture

  • Symptoms worsened by dehydration or heat

  • Crashes after minimal activity

For some patients, drinking adequate fluids is not enough to maintain blood pressure, especially during flares, heat sensitivities, menstrual cycles, or long COVID–related dysautonomia.

Why Choose PIH?

  • Accessible scheduling

  • Short wait times

  • No need to drive into central Edmonton

  • Calm, sensory-aware environment

  • Trauma-informed, compassionate staff

  • Flexibility during symptom flares

Ethical Transparency

Some patients may qualify for publicly funded saline infusions through hospital outpatient IV clinics, which require a physician referral.

We will always tell you if you are eligible for a publicly funded option. Our goal is ethical, transparent, patient-centred care.
