Classical Homeopathy

Classical homeopathic remedy prescribing is an art form that goes back over 150 years ago to the days when Samuel Hahnemann first discovered that small dilutions of the same substances that cause symptoms will alleviate those very same symptoms. The remedies themselves consist of either drops or tablets that are administered under the tongue.

Besides being an especially effective treatment for emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression, classical homeopathy can also be very beneficial in the treatment of all disorders from autism to cancer to arthritis. It can also be used to treat infants. In fact one of the greatest practical uses for these remedies has been for colic in newborns. At the Nevada Center, we have found that classical homeopathy is a critical component for getting well from any chronic disease. We have also seen wonderful results with emotional symptoms such as depression, anxiety, anger, and grief.

No matter what your age, improving your outward appearance is easier than you think. Although we have always enjoyed the challenge of helping our patients live longer more functional lives, helping them to look younger is also rewarding It has turned out to be quite true that the younger you look, the younger you feel.

To this end there are a few easy ways to improve the outer appearance with the emphasis being on obtaining a healthy, natural, non-surgical look. These treatments are for men as well as women, and in fact some of our more dramatic results have been in our male patients.

Erbium-Yag laser therapy is a very effective treatment for wrinkles, pigment spots or blotches, discolorations, imperfections, and acne scars. Dr. Shallenberger has had extensive experience using the Erbium-Yag laser to resurface the face, neck, chest, and hands ever since it was first FDA approved. The Nevada Center was the first clinic in northern Nevada to offer this gentle form of laser resurfacing.

An Erbium-Yag laser is Not A CO2 Laser!

A laser is not a laser is not a laser. Some people have shied away from laser therapy because they have heard stories about pain, long convalescent times, scarring, and pigment changes. While these problems are a concern when using CO2 lasers, they are not issues with an Erbium-Yag laser. Because the Erbium-Yag laser is so much more precise than CO2, there is only a minimal thermal effect to deeper tissues. This precision eliminates the problems commonly reported with the CO2 laser, and also makes Erbium-Yag treatments gentle, less expensive, and more effective. The post treatment time after an Erbium-Yag laser resurfacing is not painful at all, and is 50-75% shorter than CO2 treatments.

Another advantage of the Erbium-Yag laser is that because it is so gentle, it can be used to treat the more delicate skin on the hands and on the neck and chest. These are areas that the CO2 laser simply cannot treat. Anyone who would like to replace their aged or sun damaged skin with healthier, more youthful appearing skin should consider this new resurfacing treatment.

Neural Therapy

Neural Therapy is one of the most advanced and effective of all holistic healing modalities.  It is quite similar to acupuncture, and involves using a very tiny needle to inject a mixture of novocaine and vitamin B12 into various points on the body. The injections are designed to remove “interference fields”.

Interference fields are traumatized areas of the body that interfere with the body’s innate healing process. We now know that many chronic disorders have one or more interference fields. These fields must be removed before the body can restore itself to health. Failure to remove these fields is the most common reason why a patient does not respond to treatment.

The following conditions usually respond nicely to neural therapy: allergies, headache, vertigo, hay fever, sinusitis, whiplash syndrome, painful scars, liver disorders, colitis, menstrual pain, endometriosis, joint and muscular rheumatism, reflex dystrophy, arthritis, all forms of neuralgia, restless leg syndrome, TMJ syndrome, and facial and jaw pain.
