Celebrating 20 Years of Treating Lyme Disease. | | |
A Note from Dr. Ronald Stram | |
Now that spring is here, I encourage everyone to stay vigilent about the increasing prevelance of ticks. There are reports of increases of up to 50% in some communities. Treating Lyme takes intention: together, with our multidisciplinary team, we will create a custom plan to address your illness. At the Stram Center, we investigate your health.
I am honored to provide functional integrative medicine to our community each day. This year marks our 20th year and I couldn't be more proud of our wonderful staff. As we begin celebrations, it has been a privilege to have been selected by the Department of State to meet international delegates focused on women's health and wellness. Our integrative approach continues to reinforce my belief that when a medical environment focuses on the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of individuals with chronic health conditions and their support network, healing can occur.

Sincerely,
Ronald Stram
Medical Director

Tick Season is Back, Again.
Ticks are emerging for the spring and summer seasons. If you get a bite, save the tick! Put it in a plastic bag or glass jar and contact your doctor. You can send the tick in for testing to see if it was infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease or another infection. Testing the tick can get us an answer on whether or not you need aggressive treatment pretty fast.

Herbal Support for Lyme Disease
Korey DiRoma, ND.
Lyme disease a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia Burgdorgeri and in late stages, it can be difficult to treat. There is evidence that the Borrelia bacteria persists in tissues and can shift its form or shape in unfavorable host conditions, including a round body or cyst shap1.Different types of antibiotics and herbs have been studied to find the most effective agent that can kill or eradicate all forms of the bacteria. In subculture studies, single antibiotic agents are often found to be ineffective at eradicating all forms of the bacteria, therefore, multiple agents may be used in order to increase effectiveness of therapy....

Lyme Disease and Mental Health
For those who are not diagnosed and treated in the early phases of Lyme disease, symptoms can progress to affect almost every part of the body. Some people present with chronic pain, some with autoimmune diseases, and some with predominantly neurological symptoms. Neurological Lyme often includes sudden changes in mood which can impact a person’s day to day life functions. Early in the process of conventional medicine’s struggle to characterize chronic or post-treatment Lyme disease, psychologists noticed that some of their patients with anxiety and depression were presenting with other co-occurring symptoms....

Lyme Disease: Treatment is a Multidisciplinary Approach
As we head into Lyme Awareness month, let us highlight the multi-modal approach that it takes to treat the complex condition that is Lyme disease. Treatment for Lyme disease is not a “one size fits all” approach and looks different for every single patient. Several factors, including but not limited to, duration of illness, parts of the body involved, co-infections present, and underlying health status, play a significant role in clinical decision making to decide what treatment(s) are appropriate for any specific patient. Lyme disease can infect any tissue in the body, and therefore has the ability.....

Supporting Your Immune System: What Should you Eat?
For patients battling Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses, nutrition plays a critical role in recovery. Food can serve so many purposes; from enjoyment and pleasure to tissue healing and reducing inflammation. Besides avoiding major inflammatory ingredients (such as processed foods, inflammatory oils, alcohol, added sugar, and artificial sweeteners), it is important to specifically support the immune system, as that is the critical component to overall healing. For immune wellness, here are some key components.....

What's New at the Stram Center? | |
Do you struggle with spider veins on your legs that you feel are unsightly or bothersome? We are now certified to perform sclerotherapy as an adjunct therapy in making patients feel their best. Though these veins come off of our larger veins, they are not essential to our venous system. Spider veins are most common in women over men and can start at a young age, but become more visible after age 40. Development of these veins can depend on genetics, hormones, weight, or professions that require long periods of sitting or standing. | |
|
To treat these veins, we do a simple procedure to inject these tiny veins with a sclerosing agent called polidocanol. In most cases after treatment the veins are much clearer and often no longer visible.
Get started by scheduling a consultation with Heather Haslun DNP, FNP-C.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Facials & Hair Restoration with Microdermal Needling
A microdermal needling PRP facial can have rejuvenating and lasting effects without the use of harsh chemicals, acting as a natural anti-aging regimen.
Our providers are trained and certified in the microdermal needling technique. This process will apply micro-needles to the skin, opening up micro channels in the dermal and subdermal layers, thus stimulating collagen production as well prompting the mobilization of the body's innate healing properties to rejuvenate the skin. To this, our certified providers will add your own platelet rich plasma (PRP) to further enhance the micro-needling process.
