CHRONIC FATIQUE : GENTLE, EFFECTIVE, DRUGLESS MANAGEMENT OF A COMPLEX DISORDER
DR. STRASSER TREATS CHRONIC FATIQUE BY ADDRESSING THE NEUROLOGICAL, MECHANICAL AND NUTRITIONAL FACTORS THAT LOWER THE BODY'S CRITICAL THRESHOLD FOR CSF.
Chronic Fatique is now being recognized as a significant condition that can have a marked impact on daily living. Dr. Strasser has over 20 years of experience helping patients manage Chronic Fatigue. He views chronic fatique as a threshold disorder.

Dr. Strasser has over 20 years of experience helping patients manage Chronic Fatigue. By evaluating each individual patient for threshold factors and determining what might be lowering or overwhelmng their threshold to chronic fatique, Dr. Strasser establishes an integrated approach to management.
