Bringing Wellness into the New Year

Has wellness ever been more relevant?

There has never been a more appropriate time for wellness and aesthetics to marry. For 22 years, I have been taking care of people as a Physician Assistant. I was a Physician Assistant primarily in Plastic Surgery, but also briefly in urgent care and addiction medicine. The pure pleasure of working in plastic surgery was that patients were engaged in getting positive outcomes. Whether it was from reconstructive surgery or the ever-popular mommy makeover, our patients did whatever they could to look and feel better. Cosmetic injections were simply just another tool for patients to achieve that same goal. They work, they deliver consistent reliable results, and they help peel off the layers of aging and stress that have unfortunately become an ever-present force in our lives. Now what if we could also do things, internally, for our very organs, on a cellular level, that accomplish similar outcomes?

Enter IV vitamin therapy. Enter NAD, photo bio modulation, cryotherapy, Emsculpt, Emsella.

At the Shot Shop, we knew it was time to help our patients feel as good as we already knew we could make them look! So, we started looking for the best possible ways to help, the best possible services to add, and the best possible teachers with whom to train.

When we found Dr. Craig Koniver, we knew we had struck gold. Dr. Koniver has been practicing performance medicine for over 18 years, and treats many athletes, celebrities and well-known TV personalities. It was through his tutelage that we really started to see results. We are currently training with him and we are actively bringing the revolutionary services he offers to Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Services like FastVitaminIV®, NAD+ IV protocols, and ozone therapy will soon be available in both locations. Additionally, in Longmeadow, we are so happy to bring you photobiomodulation therapy, by way of the industry leader Lightstim. 

We invite you to visit us and experience the next level of wellness for yourself! We know that when you look better and feel better, you'll perform better. . .in all aspects of your life!

Revolutionary Wellness Services

  • NAD+ IV or Brain Refuel™ This treatment consists of 5 IV sessions administered over the course of ten days. Cousin to Vitamin B12, benefits include improved cognitive function, reduced effects of ptsd and anxiety, and opioid addiction.

  • Emsella - A breakthrough treatment for incontinence and confidence. This unique technology utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients. Emsella revolutionizes men and women’s intimate health and wellness with a completely non-invasive option.

  • Emsculpta - EMSCULPT is the first device to build muscle and sculpt your body. Through the high intensity electromagnetic therapy procedure one can enlarge current muscles, as well as grow new muscle fibers. The Emsculpt procedure is currently FDA cleared to treat your abdominals, buttocks, arms, calves and thighs. We brought it in as an aesthetic device, but found it was helping patients not just improve appearance, but also build strength, which helps them in their day-to-day activities.
