Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy or FSM utilizes frequencies to treat pain, inflammation and scar tissue. Studies have revealed that FSM increases ATP production 500% by cells while simultaneously decreasing inflammation-causing cytokines while secreting substances like Substance P that help alleviate it.
Certain conditions should not be treated using this therapy approach, including acute infections, new sprains or injuries, or acute fractures. Before initiating treatment please inform your practitioner.
How it Works
Frequency specific microcurrent therapy employs low levels of electrical current to effectively and noninvasively soothe injuries or medical conditions. It’s ideal for people looking to avoid medication and surgery; its noninvasive nature makes it safe and accessible. Frequency specific microcurrent therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing response to reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue healing quicker.
Therapy works by altering the electrical signals between cell membranes. This transforms their state into one more conducive to health and normality. Furthermore, this therapy helps repair damaged tissues as well as increase protein synthesis; all of which contributes to increased range of motion, reduced inflammation, and an enhanced quality of life.
Scientists first observed this phenomena during the 1920s. For instance, bones have an average frequency of 59 millihertz while muscles possess 124 millihertz frequencies. Researchers then discovered how different frequencies have different effects on different body parts. One such frequency when applied directly onto skin can accelerate bone healing while using another frequency can speed up muscle recovery significantly quicker.
FSM can be an effective treatment for many ailments, including chronic pain, muscle and nerve discomfort, inflammation and scar tissue formation. FSM may help alleviate fibromyalgia symptoms as well as treat sports injuries and post-workout soreness after workouts; additionally, FSM may even improve breathing for people suffering from asthma.
When selecting an FSM practitioner, it’s essential that they understand your condition. Furthermore, you can inquire as to their other training and experience with other modalities; some practitioners may combine FSM with other therapies in order to achieve maximum effectiveness.
However, in certain situations patients should avoid receiving this therapy: pregnant women, those with pacemakers or implanted pumps and those who are currently being treated for cancer or tumors. Please consult your practitioner for further details regarding contraindications.
Safety
Frequency specific microcurrent therapy employs low levels of electrical current to relieve pain caused by injuries or medical conditions, serving as an alternative to medications and used both chronically and acutely. Furthermore, microcurrent can help to reduce muscle spasms and scar tissue formation without being invasive, unsafe, or painful.
FSM is a noninvasive, drug-free treatment designed to increase blood circulation, decrease inflammation and boost your natural cellular energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). According to published blood studies, FSM increases this ATP level up to 700% after just one session! As a result, cells become better at communicating and healing themselves – something FSM has had such a profound effect on in terms of injuries and illnesses alike.
FSM frequencies have also been found to amplify and boost other therapies such as lasers, ultrasound, massage and nutritional supplementation. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic back and neck pain, sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome have found FSM to be beneficial in providing pain relief, improved circulation and increased energy.
FSM microcurrents are completely safe; each microcurrent produces only one millionth of an ampere, similar to what naturally exists within your cells. As such, only very shallow levels in skin and muscles can feel them; otherwise it almost feels nonexistent.
As with any treatment, there are certain key aspects to keep in mind before opting for FSM treatments. Staying hydrated before and after receiving FSM is especially essential, while it should also be done within 24 hours after experiencing injury or surgery.
One study using Healy devices revealed that FSM frequencies have not only hasten healing of injured muscles and nerves but also increased production of ATP energy in cells, leading to greater protein synthesis, amino acid transport, and tissue repair processes.
Side Effects
Microcurrent therapy produces only milliamperes of current, so it does not stimulate sensory nerves. Instead, its frequency-specific current mimics what our bodies produce naturally to improve cell function and dramatically increase ATP (energy currency of cells), stimulating protein synthesis while decreasing inflammation – leading to remarkable improvements in pain, swelling, and function often seen with frequency specific microcurrent therapy patients.
Frequency specific microcurrent is a noninvasive therapy administered with gel electrode patches placed directly onto the skin. Sessions may take place either in-office or remotely through Skype and usually last about 30 minutes each. A course of 4-6 treatments typically occurs, and results should become visible by week 3-4.
FSM has not only proven effective at managing pain, but has also demonstrated its ability to assist the body in healing injuries and reducing scar tissue. In some instances, this has resulted in complete relief or control of symptoms, even those present for years. For instance, one particular frequency combination has been demonstrated to alleviate shingles pain within 20 minutes, and cause lesions to dry up and disappear within two to three days; other frequencies have also shown relief for asthma, liver rebalancing (reducing elevated enzymes), and alleviating irritable bowel syndrome.
Reports indicate that applying frequency therapy within four hours after surgery or trauma can significantly speed the healing process, possibly through increased blood flow to the area, reduced inflammation and removal of debris from injured sites.
Be mindful that microcurrent treatment cannot address every condition, including acute infections and new injuries (less than six weeks old), such as sprains, strains, fractures, hernias, obstructed arteries etc. Furthermore, some frequencies may not be appropriate for individuals taking anticoagulants, blood thinners or those who use pacemakers.
Cost
FSM is an effective add-on therapy that many clients choose to incorporate into their sessions, as it’s proven its worth in relieving pain, promoting healing and increasing energy levels. FSM works by increasing production of ATP which serves as the body’s main energy source allowing tissues to heal themselves more rapidly. FSM therapy has also proven itself useful against acute conditions such as shingles.
Microcurrent treatment is safe and usually painless. The process involves placing electrodes onto your body which are connected to a small device with two channels of microcurrent. Frequency settings of this microcurrent vary according to your condition being treated; for instance, one frequency combination has been shown to effectively eliminate the pain of shingles; other frequencies have also been used successfully against fibromyalgia, sciatica, migraines and other chronic issues.
FSM frequencies don’t cause negative side effects like traditional medications do because they are non-toxic and work with your natural healing processes rather than against them. They don’t interfere with other treatments such as massage or physical therapy and even stimulate cellular energy to heal itself without interfering with nervous systems.
If you are interested in Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy, make sure to find a practitioner with training and license in this technique. They should possess in-depth knowledge of techniques, safety precautions and common conditions treatable through this form of therapy as well as how frequencies interact to deliver maximum benefits.
Carolyn McMakin first introduced FSM in 1995. She used frequencies found on a list from 1922 medical device as inspiration to create two-channel microcurrent device. Medical and osteopathic physicians experimented with electrical therapies using frequencies during the late 1800s and early 1900s and published their research and results in journals such as Electromedical Digest.
