Therapeutic Phlebotomy in Brentwood, TN
At Relive Health Brentwood, we provide safe and sterile therapeutic phlebotomy in Brentwood to help patients maintain optimal blood composition.
Purpose of a Therapeutic Phlebotomy at Relive Health
Optimal blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. When red blood cell levels spike, your blood becomes more viscous, forcing your heart to work harder. Our approach to therapeutic phlebotomy in Brentwood is designed to restore that delicate balance. By performing a controlled blood draw, we rapidly reduce viscosity, helping to alleviate symptoms like headaches and fatigue caused by “thick” blood.
Your Health Journey Starts Here
Effective health management requires proactive care. Therapeutic phlebotomy provides a safe, clinical solution for maintaining optimal blood viscosity and iron levels. Our dedicated providers at the Brentwood center are here to ensure your blood composition remains in a healthy range, protecting your long-term cardiovascular wellness. Don’t wait for symptoms to arise; schedule your therapeutic phlebotomy in Brentwood today and take the next step toward a healthier body.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapeutic Phlebotomy
While the physical process—inserting a needle into a vein to draw blood—is nearly identical to a standard donation, the intent is different. Blood donation is performed to help others, whereas therapeutic phlebotomy is a medical procedure performed to improve your specific health. At Relive Health Brentwood, this service is prescribed to lower your blood viscosity or iron levels directly. Because this is a medical treatment based on your lab markers, the blood drawn is typically discarded rather than banked for public use.
Historically, yes, but the modern medical application is vastly different. The term bloodletting often brings to mind outdated or non-sterile practices. In contrast, therapeutic phlebotomy is a clinical treatment performed in a sterile environment. Unlike historical methods, our approach is entirely data-driven. We only remove blood when your specific lab markers indicate it is necessary for your health and safety.
Because therapeutic phlebotomy is often a recurring maintenance therapy for patients on hormone replacement or those with hemochromatosis, costs can vary based on the frequency of treatment required. Relive Health does not require insurance, which allows us to offer straightforward, transparent pricing without administrative delays. Please contact our Brentwood center directly; we will be happy to provide a clear price breakdown and discuss a schedule that fits your needs.
Most patients seek this treatment because they are undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), which can cause red blood cell counts to spike, or because they have been diagnosed with iron overload (hemochromatosis). Common symptoms of high blood viscosity include headaches, dizziness, red flushing of the skin, or chronic fatigue. We always verify your need for the procedure by checking your latest Hematocrit and Hemoglobin levels before beginning.
