Frequency-Specific Microcurrent For Pain Management
Frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) is a modality for treating pain using low-level electrical current delivered to certain parts of the body for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and natural healing.
Beyond Pain Management
Pain Management At The Cellular Level
FSM is most often used to treat pain and encourage healing, especially nerve and muscle pain, inflammation (swelling), and scar tissue, from the following conditions:
- Shingles
- Burns
- Kidney stones
- Asthma
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Disc injuries
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Neuromas (overgrowth and scarring to a nerve after an injury)
- Tendinopathy (inflammation and/or swelling of the tendon)
- Acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal injuries
- Acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain
- Chronic fracture and bone pain
- Arthritis
- Torticollis (the head is tilted to one side)
- Disc injuries/discogenic- and facet-based pain
- Viscerally-referred pain
- Concussions
- Headaches
- Plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel and foot)
- Sports injuries
- Wounds
- Shingles
- Burns
- Kidney stones
- Asthma
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Disc injuries
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Neuromas (overgrowth and scarring to a nerve after an injury)
- Tendinopathy (inflammation and/or swelling of the tendon)
- Acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal injuries
- Acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain
- Chronic fracture and bone pain
- Arthritis
- Torticollis (the head is tilted to one side)
- Disc injuries/discogenic- and facet-based pain
- Viscerally-referred pain
- Concussions
- Headaches
- Plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel and foot)
- Sports injuries
- Wounds
How Frequency-Specific Microcurrent Works
FSM can help with pain management, especially nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and scar tissue. The microcurrent is applied with a device that delivers an extremely mild current to the local site in which it is applied.
The human body actually produces its own cellular current naturally. Depending on the tissue involved, specific frequencies are applied to encourage natural healing of the body, reducing pain. Varying FSM frequencies have been identified for every type of tissue in the body.
One of the ways FSM works is increasing the production of the ATP (the major cellular energy source) in injured tissues, encouraging the body to heal naturally. Because treatment with FSM can increase ATP production by as much as 500% in damaged tissues, this may help with the recovery process. Depending on the condition, treatment with FSM can “loosen” or soften the muscles, which relieves pain and/or stiffness.
Procedure Details
FSM is a noninvasive and painless approach to pain management and inflammation reduction. Taking 1-2 hours, it is a relaxing, easy, in office-treatment that takes no down time to recover from. We apply sensors to localized areas of your body and tailor the frequencies of the microcurrent to your specific needs, based on your condition.
These microcurrents block chemical pain signals to your brain, decrease inflammation, and flood your cells with ATP. During your treatment, you may feel a warming sensation in the area as tissue softens or tight muscles loosen.
