PEMF Therapy
Some clients want a little more support while their body recovers, especially alongside drainage and hands-on work. PEMF therapy is a calm, comfortable session that uses gentle pulsed energy, and for some people it can help the body feel more at ease. It is chosen at your assessment, never assumed. Delivered by Vogel Method-trained therapists across three clinics in Chicago's western suburbs.

How a PEMF session tends to run.
PEMF is added by a therapist who has already looked at whether it is safe and sensible for you. The session follows your history and how you respond, and the manual drainage work stays the foundation underneath it.
Your therapist asks about pacemakers, implanted devices, and pregnancy before anything else, because PEMF uses electromagnetic energy and is not safe for everyone. This is where we decide whether PEMF belongs in your session at all.

Why clients choose NLC.
Founder Sharon M. Vogel has spent more than three decades devoted to lymphatic drainage. A Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist and Board-Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (LMT, CLT, BCTMB), she developed the Vogel Method and founded National Lymphatic Centers in 1991. Today her team of certified therapists carries that same standard across three clinics in Chicago's western suburbs: Hinsdale, Downers Grove and Joliet.

“The Vogel Method is the only manual lymphatic massage that has decreased my joint swelling and improved my quality of life. I am willing to drive over an hour to see Sharon and team. She keeps my vertigo and joint swelling at bay.”
“The swelling in my leg was reduced by an inch in circumference, from 19 inches to 18. Not as tight, not as heavy. Abdul made sure he explained the procedure and that I understood how the lymphatic system functions.”
“Had a post-op lymphatic massage with Sharon. It definitely helped my pain and recovery. Highly recommend for post-surgical needs. I've visited both the Downers Grove and Hinsdale locations and loved both places.”
Recommended by physicians and surgeons. No referral required.
