Moving the lymph with Lymph Therapy

Electro-Lymphatic Therapy is an efficient, effective, and non-invasive method to reduce pain and inflammation by moving the lymphatic fluid through your body—whether you have chronic pain or sharp shooting nerve pain from structural conditions, inflammation, high blood pressure, or a general sluggishness from inactivity or diet, moving the lymph through your body is essential to good health. 
pain management

Lymph therapy is very effective when used for minimizing pain, whether preventative or for a chronic condition. It can greatly reduce pain and inflammation and assist in recovery when used as an integral part of a pain management treatment plan.  Using Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can reduce or eliminate the need to take pain relieving prescription drugs.

Fibromyalgia
Using this therapy can be enjoyable for the painful body of a fibromyalgia sufferer.  A person  with fibromyalgia can be very sensitive.  Electro Lymph therapy is so gentle and non-invasive that the body and the nerve ending that pick on the vibrational sensation will replace the message of pain with one of delight.  

neuropathy

Swelling in the lymph occasionally affects the peripheral nervous system. Electro-Lymph therapy transmits electrical impulses
through the LymphStar Pro and has been shown to provide pain relief and may promote nerve regeneration.

sciatica

One session is an accelerated method of detoxifying lymphatic fluid—equivalent to 8-10 manual lymph massages

digestive disorders (IBS, Crohn’s)

Medications, stress and anxiety can take a toll on our digestive tract.  The digestive organs are surrounded with lymph nodes in charge to keep these clean.  Lymph therapy stimulates these areas and relieves constipation, gas and bloating. It can also reduce the pain from inflammation and assist in the removal of chemical toxicity from medications at a cellular level.

Lymphatic Release has also been proven beneficial for:
• Prevention of breast and prostate problems
• Pre/ post-athletic activities to increase performance, decrease muscle & tendon strain
Services are by appointment only.

Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person’s white blood cells attack his or her moisture-producing glands. Today, as many as four million Americans are living with this disease.  Nine out of ten Sjögren’s patients are women. The average age of diagnosis is late 40s, although it can occur in all age groups, including chilrden, and in both sexes.

 

The most common symptoms include dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.  Sjögren’s syndrome often is undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.  As a systemic disease, the symptoms of Sjögren’s syndrome may mimic those of menopause, drug side effects, allergies, or medical conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. Because all symptoms are not always present at the same time and because Sjögren’s can involve several body systems.

 

Natural therapies that focus on hydrating mucus membranes and strengthening the immune system are key to any patient with Sjogren's disease.  Acupuncture sessions, herbs, nutritional supplements and homeopathy may help relieve the symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome. Small clinical studies have demonstrated that lozenges made with willow bark relieve dry mouth and improve speech.

During the first month of a four-to-six-month trial you must eliminate all milk, wheat, and gluten products. If at the end of 30 days there is no improvement, you have ruled out these foods as Sjogrens aggravators. Keep track of your symptoms carefully since some of the problems associated with this syndrome can be vague.

 Here at Healthy Being, we have found many of our Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogren's clients experience many positive benefits from engaging in 6 sessions of Lymph Therapy.  The lymph therapy session, conducted by Melissa Gallagher, is a decongestive therapy that motivates a sluggish and dehydrated lymphatic system.  Sjogren's disease impacts the lymphatic system, often creating an environment where the body is constantly toxic.  Lymph therapy helps the body with its natural detoxification therapies.

The lymphatic system consists of tiny thin-walled vessels and part of the lymphatic system’s role is draining lymphatic fluid from the vessels within the breast tissue.  Over 85% of lymphatic fluid from the breast lymph vessels enters the axillary (armpit) lymph nodes and these vary from 20 to 30 in number.  The lymph nodes function is the removal of microorganisms and foreign substances - this is where the immune system is activated. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing toxins, cell debris, cancer cells, viruses, bacteria and other unwanted matter.

So what occurs when the lymphatic fluid in the Breast is congested?

Reduction of lymphatic flow and congestion within the breast may cause:
•    Pain and/or tenderness.
•    Lumps or fluid filled cysts.
•    Swelling in the axillary (armpit) lymph nodes.
•    Increased breast size.
•    Extra breast tissue occurring in and around the axilla (armpit) area.
•    Lumpy underarms when the toxins continue to build up.
•    Discomfort in the sternum when parasternal nodes are blocked.
•    edema or lymphedema

The reason these conditions can occur is due to toxins and other unwanted matter becoming trapped in the breast tissue, unable to be flushed out through the lymphatic system.

Over 80% of our clients are seeking lymphatic therapies to address lymphatic congestion and lymphatic destruction in their breast tissue.  Reconstructive Breast Surgery for Masectomy or Breast Augmentation often damages lymph capillaries, lymph vessesls and lymph nodes.   If there has been any amputation (removal) of one or more lymph nodes- it is essential to have lymphatic therapy be a part of any healing program. 

Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy sessions improve the above conditions.  Within a session you will be given information regarding nutritional and self care techniques to ensure you obtain the optimum results.  Take our Lymph Test before you schedule an appointment.  

For sufferers of Fibromyalgia, pain and nerve irritation can be intolerable if not down right debilitating.  Most families, and even the medical community, have a tough time understanding the extent of pain.  At Healthy Being, Melissa Gallagher specializes in a non-invasive Fibromyalgia pain relief therapy that manages inflammation the causes "phantom" nerve pain.  Our clients experience immediate pain relief that often lasts 2-3 weeks, if not longer.

Fibromyalgia a non-degenerative, non-inflammatory, non-progressive neurotransmitter dysfunction and is a truly systemic illness.  It affects all four quadrants of the body and the spine.  On occasion there can be nerve and vascular entrapments from the trigger points involved.  Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) are painful conditions that are compounded by mechanical stresses such as body asymmetry, scoliosis or kyphosis, shallow breathing, immobility, poor body mechanics, and poor posture. 

This condition can influence bouts of depression, problems with concentration, memory and sleeplessness that promote more anxiety, fatigue and stress feeding the continuation of the pain cycles.  As a Lymph Therapist, Melissa has put together a fibromyalgia protocol that helps manage pain and improves both the physical and emotional mood of her clients. 

Idividualized treatment programs include:

• Gentle myofascial release and modified trigger point therapy
• Gentle strain/counterstrain therapy
• Craniosacral Therapy
• Electro Lymphatic Drainage
• Whole Food Nutrition Recommendations
• Endocrine focused supplementation
• Breathe & Stretch

 If you or a loved one suffers from Fibromyalgia pain, our clients receive amazing pain relief from Lymph Therapy Sessions.  Lymph therapy techniques are employed to meet each client's individual needs to reduce pain and make a long term difference.

 Call today to schedule a free 15 minute consultation with Melissa to see if Lymph Therapy is a wellness solution to help you manage fibromyalgia.

At Healthy Being Wellness Boutique & Natural Health Services, we not only cater the Humans, but we also cater to pets.

One extremely popular and effective therapy is the utility of our electro lymphatic therapy in managing and healing lymphomas in dogs, cats and small annimals. 

Our typical canine lymphoma client is the middle aged animal presented to the veterinarian because one or more lumps have been found.  The veterinarian rapidly determines that all of the peripheral lymph nodes (nodes near the skin surface) are enlarged and firm. Usually the animal has not been showing any signs of illness. 

Once it is a confirmed case of lymphoma, we know the average life expectancy for a furry client with untreated lymphoma is about 2 months from the time of diagnosis. If this is your beloved animal you probably need some time to absorb the import of the cancer diagnosis.

It will also be necessary to follow one or several treatment protocols to ensure the best care plan for your pet.  One of the most effective therapies is our Electro Lymphatic Drainage Therapies for pets.  Our clients often schedule one or more sessions weekly and see drastic reduction in both lymph node congestion and size and witness amazing healing. 

Commonly asked questions:

How did my pet get lymphoma?

We do not know how dogs (or people for that matter) get cancer most of the time. There are many types of cancer and many possible causes of cancer (chemicals in our environment – especially cigarette smoke, sun exposure, assorted viruses and infections). There are important genetic factors as well. Cancer starts with one or a small group of cells that have “gone wrong.” It appears that such cells arise in our bodies all the time and we have an assortment of natural mechanisms to destroy these cells before they get out of hand. Sometimes these cancer cells escape our natural mechanisms and cancer develops.  It is important to realize that cancer is not contagious and that, as a pet owner, you should not feel that you caused this or brought it on your pet somehow. (Many people feel a need to find blame and latch onto the idea that a household cleaner or pesticide was the cause. This is a natural part of grieving but it is important not to focus on cause unduly. Cause is not relevant to treatment; further, there is no way to verify cause. It is best to concentrate on treatment.  At this time, there is no way to know what caused lymphoma development in a given patient.

Can my pet be cured?

Theoretically, yes but practically speaking no.  It is best to focus on a realistic outcome which is the longest possible survival with good quality life. Different natural treatment protocols are associated with different “disease-free” intervals.

Does my pet need further tests?

If a biopsy has not been performed, it is a good idea to have one done so as to gain the maximum information about the tumor (whether it is slow or fast growing, what type of lymphocytes are involved etc.) as this information can help predict the response to chemotherapy. In cats, due to the effects of the feline leukemia virus on the bone marrow, a biopsy is absolutely necessary to diagnose lymphoma as there are many other blood diseases that can mimic lymphoma. In the dog, however, a lymph node aspirate is frequently adequate to make the lymphoma diagnosis.  Many oncologists will require a biopsy prior to referral.

Other tests that may be recommended include a bone marrow aspirate and/or a spleen or liver aspirate. These tests are needed to “stage the disease.” Lymphoma is classified by stage:

Stage I: only one lymph node involved Stage II: several lymph nodes in the same general area involved Stage III: all peripheral lymph nodes involved Stage IV: all peripheral lymph nodes plus the spleen, liver, and/or anterior mediastinum in the chest involved Stage V: bone marrow involvement, regardless of any other areas involved

In cases of lymphoma that are not as straightforward as the classical “multicentric” lymphoma described below, staging may be more important. Staging used to be done regularly after the initial diagnosis of lymphoma but it has since been found that stage of disease does not impact upon the response to chemotherapy (ie it is not true that a stage II will have a better response than a stage IV). The exception is Stage V, the most advanced stage. Patients with stage V lymphoma tend to have a poor response to chemotherapy.

How does lymphoma cause death?

Lymphoma is a rapidly growing malignancy that is able to go and grow anywhere where there is lymph tissue. This is virtually every organ in the body.  Eventually, the cancer will infiltrate an organ to such an extent that that organ fails (often this is the bone marrow or the liver).  The patient loses his/her appetite, vomits or gets diarrhea, weakens and dies.  At some point the tumor becomes resistant to therapy and no further remissions can be obtained.

What types of therapies will help ease my pet's pain?

Lymphoma is classifed by anatomic area affected. By far, the most common form in the dog is the “Multicentric” form, which accounts for 84% of canine lymphoma. In this form, as in the hypothetical case we opened with, all periphal lymph nodes are large and firm. There are three other forms of lymphoma:

• Nutrition Therapy 
• Drug Therapy
  
• Electro lymphatic Drainage
  

Lympoma can occur anywhere in the body where there is lymph tissue, thus creating a need to quickly address lymphatic flow in your pet.

Lymphatic Drainage therapy is a specialty of Melissa Gallagher, trained Lymph Therapist and Naturopath.  Melissa works with clients to promote better lymphatic flow throughout the body. 

Improper lymphatic flow is common recognized as swelling, water retention and even nasal congestion.

Through the use of an electro lymphatic drainage tool, Melissa is able to assist the body in managing excesses of lymphatic fluid that reduces swelling, stiffness and maximizes the body's natural detoxification process.

Our clients come to us from a variety of physician and health care provider referrals.  Cancer patients, plastic surgery patients, surgery patients as well as Immunology patients all greatly benefit from their work with Melissa.  A series of therapy sessions are often all that is necessary to provide the healing the body needs to motivate and de-congest the lymphatic flow.  

Radiation therapy, used in the treatment of various cancers and some AIDS-related diseases (such as Kaposi-Sarcoma), can

damage otherwise healthy lymph nodes and vessels, causing scar tissue to form which interrupts the normal flow of the lymphatic fluid. Radiation can also cause skin dermatitis or a burn similar to sunburn. It is important to closely monitor the radiated area for any skin changes, such as increased temperature, discoloration (erythema) or blistering which can lead into the development of lymphedema. Be sure to keep the area soft with lotion recommended by your radiation oncologist.

Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial tissue that causes swelling, most often in the arm(s) and/or leg(s), and occasionally in other parts of the body. Lymphedema can develop when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (primary), or when lymph vessels are damaged or lymph nodes removed (secondary).  Read more about Lymphedema.

When the impairment becomes so great that the lymphatic fluid exceeds the lymphatic transport capacity, an abnormal amount of protein-rich fluid collects in the tissues of the affected area. Left untreated, this stagnant, protein-rich fluid not only causes tissue channels to increase in size and number, but also reduces oxygen availability in the transport system, interferes with wound healing, and provides a culture medium for bacteria that can result in lymphangitis (infection).

Lymphedema should not be confused with edema resulting from venous insufficiency, which is not lymph-edema. However, untreated venous insufficiency can progress into a combined venous/lymphatic disorder which is treated in the same way as lymphedema.

Our clients who suffer from Lymphedema often experience a lifetime full of therapies, medications and suffering.  Treatments of Lymphatic Drainage Therapies are often prescribed by physicians and health care providers to manage the accumulation of lymphatic fluid.  Compression garments only can do so much to manage lymph-edema.  Thus, it becomes necessary for specific lymphatic drainage sessions with a Lymphatic Therapist like Melissa.

Melissa works with clients in both our office as well as our client's home.  Our goal is providing greater comfort, reducing swelling and maximizing the body's natural detoxification process.
