A Story of Hope: Watch Delaney's Story |
Last year, Spectrum News 1 introduced viewers and readers to Delaney Parker, a new author whose debut novel was based on her own, very painful experience living with multiple sclerosis. An anonymous donor saw the story and offered to pay for Parker to undergo advanced treatments at the Stram Center for Integrative Medicine.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces Chronic Inflammation and Pain
|
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that provides high amounts of oxygen to cellular tissue. Due to certain laws of chemistry and physics, the pressure is what differentiates this therapy from standard oxygen therapy using an oxygen tank or concentrator. Under pressure, oxygen gas is compressed into smaller molecules (Boyle’s Law) allowing concentrated amounts of oxygen to dissolve in liquid plasma. This high concentration of oxygen then travels to low areas of oxygen in the tissues (Henry’s Law).
Multiple HBOT studies have shown that HBOT therapy decreases inflammatory markers such as c-reactive protein (CRP) and sedimentation rate (ESR). In December of 2021, the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology published a finding that rheumatoid arthritis patients who received 30 treatments over 6-10 weeks had significant improvements in pain levels and lower CRP and ESR levels.....

What Can You do to Prevent Ticks?
|
|
Happy beginning of spring! With the weather warming up, we are all so excited to venture outdoors, set up our gardens, walk new trails, and enjoy all that mother nature has to offer. However, this is the time of the year where ticks are also increasing their outdoor presence. It is important to remember that ticks are not only present in deep wooded areas, but are also present in common places that you may be in every day, such as your yard. It is best practice to try to be as tick safe as possible whenever you are outdoors, even if you are not in the woods... |

The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Treatment |
|
We offer therapeutic Far Infrared saunas at the center. Theses low temperature infrared saunas help to mobilize and eliminate toxins and chemicals from your system in a thorough, but gentle way. Far infrared heat is more deeply penetrating than higher temperature saunas and helps to dilate and expand blood vessels, allowing for greater sweating and more elimination of harmful toxins. Further, far infrared heat promotes lipolysis which is the breakdown of fat tissue. |

Tips and Treatment Approach
to Lyme Using Chinese Medicine
|
|
Most people living in the northeastern part of the country have either had acute Lyme or have it chronically or know someone who has. Those who knew they were infected and treated it early are the lucky ones. Unfortunately, more often than not, Lyme becomes chronic and even worse is left undiagnosed for far too long. Personally, I know I was bit two separate times, about 4 years apart within the last 12 years, but looking back on my health history, I actually think I’ve had Lyme for around 20 years. I had headaches that began increasing in frequency until they were daily and debilitating at times for about 8 years and no one once thought to test me for Lyme. The two times I knew I was bit I was fortunate to be able to get antibiotics right away and took for them for 3 weeks and 6 weeks and I also took a lot of Chinese herbs both times which I know kept infection from infiltrating deeper.... |

Heal Smarter, Heal Faster:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
|
|
This safe and non-invasive therapy is the most trusted way to deliver a large concentration of oxygen to all organs of the body, even to areas with poor blood flow!
We believe HBOT is critical to enhance your healing potential. Under the medical supervision of Dr. Ronald Stram, we utilize the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions of our patients.
BENEFITS
At the cellular level, higher concentrations of oxygen from HBOT have the following effects:
- Promotes healing,
- Supports the growth of new tissue and blood vessels,
- Decreases swelling and inflammation,
- Stimulates collagen production,
- Increases the body’s ability to fight infections,
- Helps metabolize toxins.
HBOT has been demonstrated in many clinical studies to have dramatic benefits for stroke, traumatic head and spinal cord injuries, diabetic ulcers, slow healing wounds, burns, skin infections, anemia and autism. In addition, a broad range of other conditions have seen benefits from HBOT including:
- Pre & Post Surgery
- Sports Injuries
- Aid Fracture Healing
- Skin infections
- Radiation tissue damage
- Arthritic diseases
- Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
- Lyme Disease

Tick Prevention and Good Nutrition
|
|
In this day and age, the likelihood of getting a tick bite, either directly or from a tick carried in by a pet, is pretty good! That’s the bad news. But now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, the good news is you can do something about protecting yourself. Certainly, equipping yourself with proper outdoor gear helps but you can protect yourself from the inside as well. That’s where good nutrition can lend itself. The right nutrition can really support your immune system, fighting infections and battling bacteria so it doesn’t take root, causing a myriad of symptoms. We can especially support our immune system by improving gut health (where most of the immune system lives) and lowering overall inflammation in the body. |
