At The Parks Chiropractic, under the expert care of Dr. Leezy Long, we believe in a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. One of the advanced therapies we offer is mechanical lymphatic drainage using the state-of-the-art BTL Lymphastim machine. This innovative treatment, combined with chiropractic care, provides remarkable benefits for patients seeking improved circulation, reduced swelling, and enhanced recovery.
What is Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage?
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, immune function, and detoxification. Mechanical lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the natural flow of lymph fluid through the body.
The BTL Lymphastim machine utilizes a process called pneumatic pressotherapy, which involves a series of inflatable sleeves placed around the limbs. These sleeves apply precise, rhythmic pressure that mimics the body's natural muscle contractions, helping to:
Reduce fluid retention and swelling (lymphedema)
Eliminate toxins and metabolic waste
Improve blood circulation
Enhance immune responses
How Chiropractic Care Complements Lymphatic Drainage
Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring proper alignment to the spine and joints, reducing nerve interference, and enhancing overall body function. When combined with mechanical lymphatic drainage, chiropractic care amplifies the benefits by:
Boosting Lymphatic Flow: Misalignments in the spine can impede lymph circulation. Chiropractic adjustments restore optimal nerve and muscle function, facilitating better lymph movement.
Reducing Inflammation: Chiropractic techniques alleviate pressure on nerves and soft tissues, which reduces localized inflammation — a key factor in lymphatic congestion.
Improving Posture and Movement: Proper alignment supports better posture and mobility, which naturally stimulates lymph flow.
Enhancing Recovery: Athletes and those recovering from injuries benefit from the combined approach, as reduced swelling and improved circulation accelerate healing.
