Cancer Care

Integrative Oncology at the Stram Center

The Center offers a wide variety of cancer care treatments — including IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture, medical massage and clinical nutrition — to combat cancer cells,  help boost your immune system, reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, increase your energy,  reduce anxiety and generally improve your quality of life.

While traditional oncologists usually recommend chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery, you may be wondering if there isn't something else you could also be doing to benefit your cancer treatment. Stram Center cancer consultations will help you during this process by offering adjunctive therapies during this period of treatment. We will give you ALL your choices to help alleviate the anxiety that comes with making treatment decisions.
