PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL— Bruno Chikly, M.D. (France), developer of Lymph Drainage Therapy, addresses the applications for Lymphedema, Chronic Pain and Inflammation in his definitive text, Silent Waves: Theory and Practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy, (International Health & Healing Inc. Publishing).

Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle technique that works through the body’s lymphatic system to activate fluid circulation and stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous system.  These actions can result in reduction in edemas, detoxification of the body, regeneration of tissue and alleviation of a wide range of medical conditions.

“The lymphatic system remains perhaps the least studied and understood system in the human body. Now, in Theory and Practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy, Dr. Chikly methodically pulls the curtain of mystery aside…He demonstrates for us a depth of understanding and clinical application helpful to both novice and expert clinician alike . 

Today’s health professionals need this knowledge to more effectively combat their ever growing clinical challenges,” said Stephen Davidson, DO, CSP, OMM. Silent Waves has an extensive and comprehensive reference list that could be used by United States insurance companies to assist in treatment/payment issues.  Some important topics in the book are: the lymphatic, cardiovascular and immune systems; practical tips for therapists; Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM); evaluation, documentation and management of lymphedema; current applications of LDT and other possibilities to be investigated, including: pre-and post-surgery, burns, tissue regeneration, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), wounds, gynecology/lymphatic breast care, esthetic and cosmetic applications, orthopedics/sports medicine, chronic and subacute infectious diseases/HIV, rheumatology, neurology/central nervous system,  ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology,  bariatrics/obesity, dentistry, orthodontics along with veterinary medicine.
