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.

Anyone who has enough medical background to understand and benefit from the course can attend. 👩🏻‍🏫

In order to practice FSM and purchase and use the equipment on patients, they must have a license that allows them to use electrical stimulation or does not restrict them from using electrical stimulation on patients or must work for someone who has such a license. ⚡️

The course is geared toward medical, chiropractic, osteopathic and naturopathic physicians, acupuncturists and physical therapists and the assistants who function in all of these clinical settings. 👨‍⚕️

Dr. Carolyn McMakin at the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine 📸 FSM fits beautifully into ACRM’s goal to improve lives through interdisciplinary rehabilitation research—FSM can be used in a wide array of medical disciplines, including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, and others! By increasing cellular ATP production and promoting tissue healing, FSM can be used in a range of conditions. ✨

The emotional and psychological dimensions of pain are powerful determinants of patient outcomes. Engaging with these aspects can unearth underlying issues contributing to chronic pain. Encouraging patients to envision their lives post-recovery invites a positive mindset and diminishes the psychological fatigue associated with prolonged pain management. Practitioners are urged to facilitate discussions about the patient’s life without pain, fostering an environment of hope and possibility.

FSM practice thrives on the understanding that patient histories are critical to therapeutic success. Each patient’s nar...

FSM practice thrives on the understanding that patient histories are critical to therapeutic success. Each patient’s narrative provides insight into their unique experiences and expectations regarding pain management and recovery. A profound exploration of patient histories allows practitioners to piece together a comprehensive understanding, which is instrumental in tailoring FSM treatments effectively.

Additionally, FSM protocols are not one-size-fits-all. Practitioners must assess the stage of healing and tailor FSM settings accordingly. The intricate mechanisms of action in FSM require practitioners to eliminate certain frequencies, such as those that might suppress necessary inflammatory responses during healing phases.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerges as a beacon of hope for practitioners seeking effective alternatives to conventional care. This modality offers innovative solutions for chronic issues, often unresponsive to traditional treatments, and underpins a concerted approach to harnessing the principles of orthobiologics and metabolic pathways.
