Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy is the process of introducing a mild electrical current into an area of infection or damaged nerve region which will loosen the muscle to relieve pain and stiffness. FSM was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed through a microcurrent device applied to specific areas of your body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
The microcurrent devices used are categorized as if they are TENS machines. The current is a 1000 times less than a TENS machine, but it uses the same current that your body puts out on his own. Adhesive electrode pads or wet towels are applied to the skin, then the frequencies are applied. Current\u2019s are adjusted according to each patient and their needs. Specific frequencies have been identified for almost every type of tissue in the body. A typical session can last between 2-4 hours and patients have noticed relief after 20 minutes of treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
