Feeling Drained? IV Hydration Can Help — Here’s What Richmond and Katy Patients Should Know 

Whether you’re recovering from illness, suffering from fatigue, or just feeling run down after a long week, IV hydration therapy is a fast, effective way to restore balance and feel better quickly. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness in Richmond, we offer physician-led IV therapy designed to rehydrate your body, replenish vital nutrients, and support overall wellness. 

Under the supervision of Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified emergency medicine physician with over 15 years of clinical experience, we provide hospital-level hydration treatment in a calm, convenient setting that serves both Richmond and Katy, Texas. 

What Is IV Hydration Therapy? 

IV hydration therapy involves administering fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption. It bypasses the digestive tract, which makes it ideal for patients experiencing nausea, fatigue, or dehydration that oral fluids cannot address efficiently. 

According to the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, IV fluids can rehydrate patients two to three times faster than drinking fluids alone, especially when the patient is battling systemic dehydration or gastrointestinal illness. 

At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we treat a wide range of conditions with IV hydration, including: 

• Dehydration from illness, heat, or exercise 
• Fatigue and low energy 
• Migraine headaches 
• Hangover symptoms 
• Nausea and flu recovery 
• Immune support during cold and flu season 

Why Choose Our IV Therapy in Richmond and Katy? 

While there are plenty of mobile IV companies and drip bars around Texas, there’s a big difference between a wellness spa and a medical clinic. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, IV hydration is provided as part of an overall care plan by licensed professionals in a safe, clinical environment. 

Here’s what sets us apart: 

Supervised by a Board-Certified ER Physician 

Dr. Luke completed his emergency medicine residency at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center and has delivered thousands of IV treatments in high-pressure hospital and trauma settings. He personally oversees all protocols to ensure your treatment is appropriate and effective. 

Customized for Your Medical Needs 

No two patients are the same. We assess your symptoms and customize the IV infusion to match your individual health status, rather than offering a generic drip. 

Clean, Safe, and Professional Setting 

Our clinic meets medical-grade standards and uses hospital-quality fluids and IV equipment. Your care is delivered by trained professionals—not by technicians operating in a mobile van or salon. 

Easy Access from Richmond, Katy, and Surrounding Neighborhoods 

We serve patients across the West Houston area, including Aliana, Cinco Ranch, Mission Bend, and Grand Mission. Our location on Bellaire Blvd offers walk-in convenience without long waits or hospital-level costs. 

When Should You Consider IV Hydration? 

IV therapy is ideal if you are feeling depleted, recovering from illness, or struggling with symptoms like dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, or low energy. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated, often without realizing it. This chronic fluid loss can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, poor concentration, and general malaise. IV therapy delivers immediate rehydration and electrolyte balance, helping you feel noticeably better within an hour. 

As noted by the Cleveland Clinic, many symptoms that people ignore—like dry skin, headaches, or fatigue—may be linked to even mild dehydration. IV hydration is one of the most effective ways to reset your body and restore energy quickly. 

Backed by Medical Expertise, Delivered with Compassion 

Dr. Luke Afuwape created Urgent Care Plus & Wellness to provide emergency-level care without the emergency room price. With over 15 years of experience treating patients in both urban and rural ER settings, he brings a deep understanding of urgent and wellness medicine to every visit. 

“Whether you’re recovering from illness or just need to feel like yourself again, IV hydration is a simple yet powerful way to improve how you feel,” says Dr. Luke. “Our clinic offers that service with the same level of care you’d get in a hospital, but without the chaos or the bill.”
