Frequency Specific Microcurrent

Frequency Specific Microcurrent Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an exciting new way of treating nerve and muscle pain and m

FSM was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice that came with a machine made in the 1920’s. Dr. McMakin developed protocols for the treatment of myofascial pain in 1996 and presented her clinical data at the American Back Society national meeting in December 1997. In 1998, she published paper on the “Treatment of chronic resistant myofascial pain in the head, neck and face” in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic. In addition to other published FSM papers, Dr. McMakin's textbook "Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management" was recently published by Elsevier. Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997 to see if the effects of FSM were reproducible. By June 1997 it was clear that the effects were reproducible and the seminars have evolved into a three day intensive class in the use of frequency protocols, the differential diagnosis of pain generators and neurologic conditions. The frequencies were developed in the early 1900’s and were used with funky looking electronic equipment that fell out of use in the 1940’s. Microcurrent was introduced as a battery operated physical therapy modality in the 1980’s in Europe and the USA. Microcurrent devices deliver frequencies and current in millionths of an amp and have been shown in published studies to increase energy (ATP) production in cells by 500%. Since 1997, hundreds of practitioners around the world have taken the FSM seminar and use this amazing new technique to help patients recover from myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, concussion and many other health concerns. The FSM seminar teaches frequency protocols, differential diagnosis of pain complaints and hands on use of the microcurrent equipment. Our students evaluate the seminars consistently with 5/5 value approval ratings.

One of the best things about the FSM community is the generosity in sharing both wisdom and skills, and the spirit of collaboration ♥️ It’s a common occurrence for our FSM practitioners to help one another, squeezing in a treatment between presentations or even at the end of a long day.

FSM training is more than just information. It’s a change in the way you think. It’s plugging in to a network of knowledge. It’s a commitment to advance FSM therapy. It’s about becoming a source of hope.

After this year’s FSM Advanced, this statement feels especially true and relevant 💯

Our practitioners are doing EXTRAORDINARY things with Frequency Specific Microcurrent ✨And every year, our collective wisdom grows as we share case reports and published papers, as we see videos and photos of patients before and after treatment 😌

If you’re skeptical, we get it. Most of us started out that way too. But along with that skepticism, there’s probably a little curiosity. So check out the published papers and articles on our website, listen in to our podcast, or read Dr. McMakin’s book The Resonance Effect.
