Your lymphatic system plays an important role in your immune system, helping to protect you from infection. It also sends any old or abnormal cells on their way by whisking them out of the body. However, when the fluid doesn't move as it should, you could develop inflammation, and have pain and discomfort, among other issues. At Nesnick Total Health in Woodstock, GA, Dr. Michal Nesnick can get your lymphatic system up and working as it should through chiropractic lymphatic treatments.
The Lymphatic System's Role in Your Pain
Your lymphatic system is involved in both chronic condition management and acute healing.
When you're injured, the lymphatic system starts clearing out the site of any excess fluid and other waste products to help ease the swelling.
Besides assisting with waste management, your lymphatic system is also key in your body's emergency response to an injury by releasing chemicals to help with healing. Your lymphatic system gathers white blood cells and other inflammatory substances and delivers them to the injury site.
Your immune system goes hand in hand with your injury response, making optimizing its function an essential part of healing and pain management.
Lymphatic Treatments Offered at Nesnick Total Health
One of the most well-known lymphatic treatments provided at our Woodstock, GA, office is a chiropractic adjustment. Though we emphasize this treatment's ability to ease stress on the neighboring soft tissues and balance the body’s weight, it also optimizes lymphatic function by encouraging lymph flow. It eases nerve compression, increasing lymphatic drainage further and reducing the prevalence of swelling.
Lymphatic massage is the most well-known treatment for boosting lymphatic function, ultimately easing your symptoms in the process. For this, our chiropractor will gently massage the lymph nodes and other points along your lymphatic system to enhance lymph fluid drainage and flow. Your body will then have less swelling, fewer toxins, and ultimately better overall immune function. Your body will also feel better overall with less pain, inflammation, and other unpleasant symptoms. Dr. Nesnick also uses the Slimyonik Bodystyler to help with lymphatic drainage.
Your treatment approach may also consist of therapeutic exercises that help move the fluid through, as the lymphatic system doesn't have a central pump like your cardiovascular system does. Through movement, you can help remove excess fluid from the body, which could be contributing to your pain and other symptoms.
Visiting Nesnick Total Health in Woodstock, GA, to see Dr. Nesnick for lymphatic treatments can help manage your lymphatic conditions, promote healing, and ease your pain and discomfort as you improve this system's ability to function and serve your body well.
