POST EXPLANT + AUTOIMMUNE I wish everyone could find Sharon she’s truly amazing. I came to her post breast implant removal. It had been recommended to go and get a series post op in order to help swelling and pain. My first visit I was still so sore and very swollen especially in my chest and abdomen. I had already been dealing with a host of gut issues related to autoimmune issues so post surgery my digestion was not doing well. Sharron took such good care of me especially that first appointment I was really struggling. Still very sore and overall feeling unwell. I couldn’t believe when I left my pain went from a 6 to 0. The swelling in my stomach was GONE and in the days following I continued to heal faster then I had been and the swelling contained to be minimal. She suggested I try and come 2 times a week and that was what I aimed for. Each time feeling better and better and I know without a doubt it has helped me turn a corner in my healing. Each session I had more mobility and my digestive system started to improve which is always very difficult post op. These massages have hands down been the biggest factor in me recovering so quickly post op. It is so worth the investment to have a series of these done after any surgery. I am telling everyone to go to see her and plan to continue to go regularly in order to support my body and reduce inflammation due to autoimmune issues. A huge bonus is the atmosphere and energy Sharon brings. You go in feeling completely taken care of. Everything is clean and calming and all the extras she adds into the massage makes it a whole relaxing and healing experience.

I needed to have lymphatic drainage massage at least 2-3 times a week after my procedure and I couldn't find anyone close to our home that is equipped. Then I finally found NLC which is 2 hours away but all that drive and traffic is so worth it! Sharon is a Godsend! Very professional and amazing in what she does. I felt so relaxed and relieved from all the bloating and pain after my first appointment with her. Sharon and the atmosphere in Hinsdale is just lovely. Her place is so relaxing and clean. I recommend Sharon to all post op patients that need lymphatic drainage massage. She is wonderful!

NLC is awesome, Sharon is a blessing! I'm amazed after so many years of not feeling well, that after 5 sessions of manuel lymphatic drain massage I feel so much better. Sharon has helped me tremendously navigate and formulate a plan to help me with my recent diagnosis of Lipedema Lymphedema. I recommend NLC to anyone and everyone regardless of your pain or health issues.

I am benefitting from lymph medical drainage massage therapy at National Lymphatic Centers. After a double mastectomy and removal of a lymph node I was concerned about the potential for lymphedema. A friend recommended NLC and I have not looked back. I see Sharon regularly for comprehensive massages and she has taught me how to do much of it at home. I am no longer worried about lymphedema because I feel that I am in control of the situation. Also, unrelated intermittent swelling in my ankles has completely subsided since I started going to NLC. This is an added benefit! I highly recommend NLC.

Sharon Vogel possesses an unparalleled level of knowledge and expertise. She not only provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how my lymphatic system and fascia respond to trauma, but also significantly alleviated my physical discomfort after each session. Sharon equipped me with invaluable at-home tools and techniques for maintenance. Her exceptional skills are the reason I willingly make a weekly 45-minute drive from downtown Chicago to see her!

From the minute you walk in to the Hinsdale location you are transported into a with a very soothing and calming environment. Sharon immediately greeted us with dark chocolates, warm lemon water and assorted nuts. Sharon comes highly qualified. She explains the process of lymphatic drainage massage clearly and outlined the benefits as well. The Hinsdale location decor is light and airy with meditative music playing which puts you at ease. I highly recommend Sharon and the National Lymphatic Centers.

Having suffered a freak accident (fall in my home) I found myself in 2 ER’s getting half of my face stitched back together and a cast placed on my now broken hand. On a follow up Dr appointment, my Dr recommended I go to see Sharon Vogel for lymphatic drainage massage. Due to the nature of my injury my lymphatic facial system would most likely not drain properly. I scheduled my first appointment with Sharon and could not believe the pressure she was able to remove from my entire body. I instantly signed up for multiple sessions. The bonus, which was totally unexpected, my insurance will cover 80% of the expense of out of network providers after my deductible is met. With or without that extra bonus, going to Sharon in an investment in my health and she is worth every penny!!!

I’ve come here for 20 sessions post-op (tummy tuck and Lipo) and I could never say enough great things about it. The services are amazing and the providers and staff are so responsive. The owner goes an extra 2 miles with little touches for the best physical healing and your emotional and mental well-being. I was in no way discounted or sponsored to write this review.

I tore my hamstrings and shortly after surgery was involved in a motor vehicle accident. After completing physical therapy, I still didn’t have the movement or energy I hoped for. My PT told me to find a practitioner with myofascial release expertise. I was referred to Sharon Vogel and couldn’t be happier with the results! Sharon released my hard fibrotic tissue, then treated me for lymphatic drainage manually and with a laser (PEMF). I wish I knew about lymphatic drainage for before and after surgery. My recovery would have been much faster. I now have energy like I haven’t had in years. I can participate in physical activity without the exhaustion I felt before treatment. A real game changer!! And the Spa like location in Hinsdale is like an HGTV showplace! Many thanks to Sharon and her staff.

Great service. There may be training during the session as well. The original location has less than ideal parking for anyone mobility challenged. There would be uneven services and stairs to navigate. I would suggest having someone else drive by because your wraps might loosen if you're actively moving which is a waste of good money. The Joliet location has better parking and an elevator. The red light at your junctures really got my fluid moving which is unusual for me. I have more swelling in one leg that has more damage than the other. Some of the therapist do other massages as well. No street shoes beyond the lobby area in the original location. Slippers or socks are provided and sanitized.

Frequently asked questions

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage, and what are its benefits?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to promote detoxification, reduce swelling, and support recovery, particularly after surgery, oncology treatments, or in cases of Lymphedema and Lipedema. It enhances overall wellness by stimulating lymph flow and reducing fluid retention.

Who is a suitable candidate for MLD therapy?

MLD is ideal for those recovering from cosmetic surgery, experiencing Lymphedema, Lipedema, or other swelling-related conditions, and those seeking detoxification and general wellness support. Always consult with a therapist, and if you have conditions like AFIB, asthma, or blood clots, a doctor’s approval is recommended.

How often should I receive MLD sessions for optimal results?

For best results, weekly sessions are typically recommended, especially for post-surgical recovery or managing chronic conditions like Lymphedema. Your therapist can create a personalized plan based on your specific needs and health goals.

Are package series available for MLD sessions, and can I use HSA for payment?

Yes, package series are available, providing multiple session options for ongoing care. HSA payments are accepted, and payment discounts may be offered for certain methods such as cash, check, or Zelle.

What should I expect during my initial consultation?

The initial consultation is a 10-minute phone session with our Clinic Director to discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals. You’ll also receive guidance on the best treatment options for your needs. Please complete the intake form beforehand for a more thorough assessment.
