Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is the practice of introducing a mild electrical current into an area of damaged soft tissue.
FSM was developed by Carolyn McMakin, M.A., D.C. in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice that came with a machine made in the 1920s. 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 the paper on the “Treatment of chronic resistant myofascial pain in the head, neck, and face” in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic.
Today, Frequency Specific Microcurrent is used to treat a variety of nerve and muscle pain including pain from shingles, burns, kidney stones, IBS, fibromyalgia, neuromas, arthritis, concussions, headaches, and musculoskeletal injuries. FSM is non-invasive and painless.

What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)? Frequencies are pulses per second measured in hertz. They can be sound waves or electronic pulses. The frequencies used in FSM are electromagnetic pulses used on two channels firing at the same time. The frequencies are delivered using a ramped square wave that includes high frequency harmonics to create the square wave.

What do fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chemical sensitivities all have in common? It could be the vagus nerve through its role of suppressing the immune system, regulating gut motility and gut pH and therefore gut bacterial flora, and the connection of the vagus to the brain and limbic system. The role of Frequency Specific Microcurrent addressing the vagus nerve has shown fairly quick improvements.

One of the most exciting areas of research at FAIM involves energy medicine. This is an area of medicine that will likely be the future. There are so many facets and I will try to share information about three of the therapies FAIM finds most promising.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) uses microamperage current and the resonance effects of frequencies on tissues and conditions to create beneficial changes to symptoms and health.
