He combines the best of both worlds, modern and traditional. In addition to wellness, preventive medicine, the treatment of acute/chronic musculoskeletal pain and pre-morbid or functional problems, he has used this approach to successfully address many diagnosable medical conditions. It is effective in collaboration with other therapies, whether conventional or alternative.

Strom has treated patients worldwide, and is often the “last resort” for many patients after they have been seen by other practitioners.  It’s not unusual for him to spend an intense time with patients from afar and then continue to develop an even closer relationship when they return to their usual way of  life. His patients have become a very large part of his life.

“We must involve patients more closely in the implications of their clinical decisions”, says Strom. “In order to do that, it is essential to enable communication and understanding between patients and doctors, each of which is essential to the other if we are to create a relationship that works.  Patients must accept responsibility for their own care and be equipped with the information needed to make good decisions. All of this must be guided by a medical style based upon principles of honesty and integrity which enhance the doctor/patient relationship.”
