You know that feeling you get when you’ve recently been near your friend’s snot covered toddler or your co-worker with the hacking cough or that lady in line at the coffee shop who couldn’t stop sneezing and now you’ve got that tickle in the back of your sinuses and you’re fairly certain that you’ve picked up the flu or a cold or the freaking delta variant and should probably start downing every antibacterial herb you have stashed away in your cabinet before it’s too late? Well my friends, that’s the perfect time to send me a text and come in for a quick and painless Wellness shot.

What is a Wellness Shot you ask?

Well, a Wellness Shot is an intramuscularly injected homeopathic and vitamin elixer designed to jazzersize your immune system. It’s key ingredient Homeopathic Engystol has proved itself in numerous scientific studies by increasing white blood cell (your body’s defense mechanism) counts by 41%! Beyond that, when combined with B12 these mighty little injections have been shown to reduce severity and duration of acute infections while also guarding you from contracting infections in the future.

Why is it worth getting one?

• They may reduce cold and flu symptoms: so long sore throat, sneezing, sinus congestion and chills

• Clinically and scientifically proven effective in the prevention of viruses like: influenza, herpes simplex 1, Rhinovirus and RSV.

• May reduce viral infection duration.

• Safe for children, elderly and adults.

• Zero side effects, but may make you feel exceedingly awesome.

Do Wellness Shots Hurt?

I use the tiniest of needles resulting in injections that are totally painless to most. In fact, after two days of pleading with my incredibly needle sensitive eldest daughter the other day, I was able to finally convince her to get one and she didn’t feel a thing! She also got over her cold in two days! So if you’re looking to give your immune system a little boost, schedule online or send me a text to see if I can get you in for a quick shot.

Injections, painless? You’re kidding, right?

It’s no wonder so many of us share a deep seated fear of needles, have you ever accompanied a child to a vaccination appointment?  I nearly fell out of my chair when I watched the nurse violently jab my daughter with a giant needle for the first time. I get it that kids are fidgety little creatures and that attempting to inject them with a full dose of anything is akin to giving your cat a bath on the impossible scale, but geez!  

Despite experiences, injections don’t have to hurt.

There is no jabbing at Durango Acupuncture Clinic, I use the tiniest needles I can get my hands on so that I can deliver an injection that is as smooth, slow and gentle as possible.  In fact, the most common comment I get after delivering a Traumeel injection is “was that it?” I’ve treated enough nurses to learn that they lovingly nickname the room where they give steroid injections, “the pain room”, i’m happy to say that there are absolutely no such rooms at this Clinic.  

How Therapeutic Injections can get you there faster

Injections skip the cumbersome and slow digestive process and deliver supplements more directly to the bloodstream where its benefits can have an intensified and more immediate effect.  Intramuscular injections are absorbed as much as 90% better than vitamins and minerals taken orally. Which is why I’m excited to offer an array of therapeutic injections in my practice.

A little something for everyone:

• Acute Pain: Homeopathic Traumeel, which is excellent for more acute muscle sprains and strains as well as sports injuries and as an alternative to cortisol injections.

• Chronic Pain: Homeopathic Zeel, spascupreel and neuralgo-rheum are perfect for arthritis, muscle spasms or nerve pain.

• Immune System: Homeopathic Engystol combined with b-vitamins are your natural answer to the flu shot.

• Fatigue: B12 as Methylcobalamin is the most easily assimilated form of B12 and is more effective when delivered intramuscularly than sublingually.

• Weight Loss: Lipostat, A unique blend of vitamins designed to help your liver break down and digest fats to enhance your diet and exercise efforts.
