Plus, you will learn which of our services are right for your condition, receive self-maintenance techniques for home, and receive a customized care plan for better health through lymph services.
Did you know that lymph massage is beneficial two times per week/2x by self-massage, your favorite massage therapist, or even here at NLC by a board certified practitioner LMT/CLT+. The reason for 2x is because the lymph system has a water current that gets sluggish with lymphatic load on most people every three days (2x per week).
It is sort of like a dryer vent that gets full of lint after the third load.
We help that.
We teach that.

The Vogel Method for Lymphatic situations
With over 25+ years of manual therapy through IL state licensed,
we have the caring nature and industry experience to help.
Our Biomedical background, BCTMB National Board Certification, as well as CLT Certified Lymph Therapists have created a unique blended three-step protocol, The VMLD Vogel Manual Lymphatic Drainage Method:
STEP 1
The Vogel Method of Spiraling Myofascial Release (VMFR) to unwind, unlock, release, clear, and balance post-surgical scar tissue, fibrotic fascia restrictions, tightness, trauma and more.
STEP 2
Vogel Method Manual and/or Machine Lymphatic Drainage (VMLD), a unique method to alleviate fibrosis, blockage, and drain swelling. A Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) is Licensed and Certified through their scope of practice to perform this step. Manual and/or Machine Lymphatic Drainage is essential otherwise, cellulitis may occur. Without drainage, the fluid released during Myofascial Release will essentially be "pushed toward a closed doorway" and accumulate within the body, which causes swelling.
STEP 3
Vogel Method Lymphatic Medical Massage (VMT), to feel better and gain greater mobility. This step is performed by a Licensed and Certified whom is trained in Lymphatic Massage.
Why the name "National"?
Sharon M. Vogel is the NLC Founder, Clinic Director, and a BCTMB. This is a National board Certified Practitioner and is called out of state to assist with challenging cases.
The main location is in Downers Grove but developed the name when there was also an office in Arizona, Joliet & Hinsdale offices in Illinois as well as office sharing with other physicians.
Vogel was awarded to teach continuing education by the NCBTMB, a National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork.
NLC is IL state accredited, staffed with licensed practitioners.
Graduate science classes from Midwestern University of Osteopathic Medicine, Downers Grove.
Sharon Vogel is also very patriotic as she has a genealogy of the Daughters of the American Revolution D. A. R.
Who refers their patients to NLC?
Many Plastic Surgeons, Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine and some Practitioners from Mayo Clinic refer patients specifically to Sharon Vogel, Licensed and Board Certified, by way of the clinic's reputation by name, trusting patients to usage of their blend of care which has developed over 30+ years. The specific blend is "The Vogel Method" which is a 3-step process of myofascial release, lymph drainage, and lymph massage.
The manual lymphatic drainage work is endorsed by:
"I have been seeing Sharon for 4 years now and what a difference she has made in my life.
I had cystic breasts and used to go to see a breast surgeon to have them drained which was painful and caused scar tissue.
Sharon is able to remove that same fluid without needles and creating scar tissue. I have since had breast cancer and 3 lymph nodes removed and Sharon has been teaching me how to retrain my body to
get rid of the fluid build up that once my lymph nodes took care of. I can't think of a more qualified person to send anyone to!" Dr Sheri Billing, AuD, F-AAA

We offer Membership series of (3) (5) (10)
to suit the needs of most clients.
The timing and quantity of appointments is specific to any surgeries and any pre existing conditions you may have.
Receive the relief that you need with The Vogel Method. Patients tell us that they have found a profound softening of hard lumps and bumps, plus alleviated hardness from bloating and fullness with Vogel Method manual lymphatic drainage massage VMLD as soon as their first treatment.
Our practitioners create a lymphatic flow that continues for 2-3 days on average.
Do understand that the swelling returns, but it is like bath water running to cleanse the tissue and help you to heal. The expertise and efficiency is having the pathways clear and junctures decongested so there is less or no buildup. This is how the body learns to drain itself.
The secret is to continue to receive regular VMLD until you body is back to normal. After an intake, assessment, evaluation and consult, your practitioner will customize a care plan designed to suit your needs.
