→ How can you prevent herxing after lymphatic drainage?
NLC Founder, Sharon M Vogel, CLT, LMT, BCTMB, address a frequently asked question. ✨
Q: How can I prevent herxing after a massage or lymphatic drainage treatment?
A: Before lymphatic drainage or massage, the terminus (venous angle) should be opened to allow lymph fluid to drain properly into the bloodstream.
After treatment, it may help to gently stimulate this area regularly to encourage lymph fluid to continue flowing back toward the venous angle and proper drainage pathways.
Once a lymphatic water current has been created during the session, the body may continue draining afterward. Supporting that flow with proper technique and sequencing is part of appropriate lymphatic care.

✨ FAQ Time → Can you get lymphatic drainage if you have AFIB?
NLC Founder, Sharon M Vogel, CLT, LMT, BCTMB, address a frequently asked question. ✨
Q: Can you get lymphatic drainage if you have AFIB? A: Lymphatic drainage is generally contraindicated for people with AFIB because moving excess fluid may place additional strain on the heart. When lymphatic fluid and inflammation begin to move, it can increase the volume of fluid returning to the bloodstream, which the heart must then handle.
If someone also has lymphedema, care should be done in a hospital-based lymphedema clinic where trained specialists and medical support are available if needed.

Why the Name “National”?

National Lymphatic Centers shares important insight into its name and scope. ✨
The name “National” reflects more than location. While the clinical foundation is rooted in Illinois, NLC supports complex lymphatic cases that extend beyond a single region. This includes individuals who travel for care as well as those seeking guidance through digital access.
Lymphatic dysfunction and swelling require precise, technique-driven care. Access to properly trained providers remains critical, particularly in more complex presentations.
At National Lymphatic Centers, care is delivered with consistency and clinical precision. Each Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) follows the same standard, grounded in anatomy and proper application.
NLC Founder, Sharon M. Vogel, addresses a frequently asked question.
Q: Does Lymph Drainage Hurt? A: Lymph drainage initiates the parasympathetic nervous system through a skin-twisting technique, and it does not hurt.
It is comfortable. It siphons and draws fluid. It does not push fluid around. It doesn’t squeeze swelling, so it’s comfortable.
Here at National Lymphatic Centers, we practice the Vogel Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, medical massage, a.k.a. Wonderful!
