Early in her career, she learned about Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique, a gentle, low-force technique that uses a hand held instrument to realign the patient's spine and extremities and restore proper nerve function. The patient does not hear any "cracking or popping". The Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) has evolved from 37 years of clinical study and uses the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations to find joint dysfunction in the spinal column and extremities and restore it to health.

Use of the Activator Adjusting Instrument gives consistent low-force, chiropractic adjustments. It is a very safe and highly effective procedure for all types and ages of patients, and is one of the most researched techniques in Chiropractic. Dr. Strouf was drawn to this technique because of the superior results she achieved with patients.

Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) is a healing technology that is singularly the most simple, effective and safe healing modality in veterinary care to date.
