frequency specific microcurrent
What IT IS
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an innovative therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate healing and restore balance to the body’s tissues and cells. It works by applying specific frequencies to different parts of the body, which helps to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve overall health and mental wellbeing.

how it works
The electrical currents used in FSM are very low-level, similar to the natural electrical currents found in the body. These currents are delivered through electrodes that are placed on the skin, and the specific frequencies used are based on the individual’s needs and the condition being treated.
FSM is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free therapy that can be used alongside other forms of treatment. It has been shown to provide quick and lasting results, with many people experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms after just a few sessions.
what it does
FSM has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, depression, anxiety, and more. It has also been used to improve athletic performance, boost energy levels, and enhance overall wellness.
One of the key benefits of FSM is its ability to reduce inflammation, which is a common factor in many health conditions. By applying specific frequencies to the affected area, FSM helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It has also been shown to stimulate the production of ATP, the energy currency of the body, which helps to promote cellular repair and regeneration.

What Doctors Don’t Tell You (June 2020)
This article details the transformative power of frequency-specific microcurrent, as introduced by chiropractor Carol McMakin, in the remarkable recovery of NFL player Terrell Owens. Learn how FSM rapidly healed fractures, ligaments, and acute injuries, defying conventional expectations.
The authors review published articles on microcurrent treatments showing evidence of body fat reduction, promotion of skeletal muscle remodeling and growth, as well as attenuating muscle soreness post-exercise. This article also discusses candidate mechanisms of action in terms of ATP resynthesis, intercellular calcium homeostasis, lipolysis, and muscle protein synthesis.

This article reviews how FSM combined with acupuncture treatments improved symptoms and reduced number of clinical visits for three patients with chronic and debilitating neck, back, hip, and leg pain, as well as other neurological symptoms.
FSM as a Healing Modality (February 2020)
A well-cited honors college thesis detailing how resonance technologies work, mechanism of action, the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in electrical stimulation, and the clinical applications of FSM.
Non-pharmacologic Treatment of Shingles (October 2012)
A case report of an 85-year-old male that had shingles pain and lesions resolved in 48 hours after treatment with frequency specific microcurrent. At a two-week follow up the patient remained pain free. There was no residual pain and no recurrence of shingles in any dermatome at a two-year follow up.
