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.

In this episode of the Frequency Specific Microcurrent podcast, Dr. Carol shares insightful case studies, including a complex nerve pain case resolved with frequency 40/89.
The discussion covers diverse topics such as chronic conditions, TMJ treatment, liver toxicity, and the intriguing potential of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) for medical practitioners. Dr. Carol also delves into the relationship between smell and dementia, and reflects on the importance of thorough patient histories for effective treatment. Join Dr. Carol as she answers listener questions and provides valuable tips for FSM practitioners.

From Dr. Carol 👩‍⚕️

I wanted to let you know I’ll be presenting at The Forum for Integrative Medicine (TFIM) 2026, a virtual practitioner-only conference on April 17–19!

My session is “Advances in Frequency Specific Microcurrent: Treating the Vagus Nerve, Ehlers-Danlos, and Long COVID” on Saturday, April 18 at 1:15 PM Pacific.

I’ll be covering how frequencies affect vagal function, hypermobility testing protocols, and what we’ve been observing with frequencies originally used in 1922 for flu viruses and their effects on COVID and Long COVID. 🦠

The Saturday lineup is particularly strong — there are sessions on Long COVID, vagus nerve and POTS, and hypermobility/EDS all on the same day, so the whole afternoon builds around topics you’re seeing in practice.

Early bird registration ends February 28. I have a speaker discount code that gives you an additional $50 off and it stacks with the early bird pricing:
Code: TFIMMCMAKIN

Registration includes recordings and slides after the event, so even if you can’t attend live, you’ll have access to all 18 sessions.
