Is Your Lymphatic System Backed Up and Causing Inflammation and Pain? Here’s What You Can Do!

Published September 8th, 2025 by Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson

Chronic pain. Swelling. Stiffness. Fatigue. Brain fog.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it might not just be your joints, muscles, or nerves—it could be your lymphatic system that’s backed up and struggling to keep up with your body’s demands.

At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson takes a whole-body approach to healing, including often-overlooked systems like the lymphatic system, which plays a critical role in immunity, detoxification, and inflammation control.


What Is the Lymphatic System and Why Does It Matter?

The lymphatic system is like your body’s waste management and immune support system. It moves lymph fluid—a clear fluid rich in white blood cells—through a network of lymph nodes, vessels, and organs to filter out toxins, waste, and pathogens.

When your lymphatic system is sluggish or congested, it can lead to:

  • Chronic inflammation
  • Swelling (edema)
  • Joint stiffness
  • Fatigue
  • Poor immune response
  • Persistent pain that doesn’t go away

Just like clogged plumbing, a backed-up lymph system causes everything to slow down—including your healing and recovery process.


How SoftWave Therapy Supports Lymphatic Flow and Pain Relief

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a non-invasive acoustic wave treatment that works deep beneath the surface to activate healing processes at the cellular level.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for the Lymphatic System:

  • Increases blood flow and circulation to lymphatic tissues

  • Breaks down adhesions and scar tissue that impair lymph movement

  • Stimulates lymph drainage by activating the surrounding musculature and tissues

  • Reduces inflammation and swelling in congested areas

  • Activates stem cells and promotes tissue repair and immune system modulation

Dr. Jeremiah has seen remarkable results combining SoftWave Therapy with lymphatic drainage protocols to support full-body detoxification, reduce inflammation, and help patients get out of chronic pain faster.


At-Home Support: The Big 6 Lymphatic Drainage Technique

To supercharge your SoftWave Therapy and keep your lymphatic system flowing, Dr. Jeremiah recommends the “Big 6” lymphatic drainage technique developed by Dr. Perry Nickelston of Stop Chasing Pain.

The Big 6 Method:

This technique includes manual stimulation of six key lymphatic points on the body to help jumpstart drainage and reduce systemic inflammation.

The six main points:

  1. Collarbone region
  2. Neck region
  3. Shoulder/ armpit area
  4. Abdomen area
  5. Groin region
  6. Behind the knees

By gently stimulating these points for just 30–60 seconds per area each day, you can improve lymphatic flow and help your body detoxify more efficiently.

This technique is easy, effective, and a powerful companion to your SoftWave Therapy care plan.


Signs Your Lymphatic System May Be Sluggish:

  • Chronic pain and stiffness
  • Swelling in extremities
  • Poor healing and slow recovery
  • Frequent illness or fatigue
  • Puffiness in the face, under eyes, or joints
  • Unexplained weight gain or fluid retention

SoftWave + Lymphatic Drainage = A Winning Combination

If your lymphatic system is overwhelmed, your body’s ability to heal and regulate inflammation is compromised. That’s why Dr. Jeremiah uses SoftWave Therapy to stimulate healing deep at the cellular level and combines it with lymphatic activation techniques to give your body the best possible chance to recover and thrive.
