Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a distinct variation of microcurrent therapy employing electrodes or needles to administer precise-frequency, low-level electrical currents. It is utilized to tackle a range of health concerns, with a primary focus on pain and inflammation.
FSM uses precise frequencies that are believed to have therapeutic effects on specific conditions or tissues within the body. These frequencies are often chosen based on the idea that different tissues and conditions resonate with specific frequencies.
Electrodes, typically in the form of conductive pads or probes, are applied to the skin over the area of concern or along specific acupuncture points. These electrodes deliver the microcurrent with the selected frequencies.
Proponents of FSM claim that the specific frequencies can influence cellular activity and signaling. For example, certain frequencies are said to stimulate the release of various neurotransmitters, reduce inflammation, or promote tissue healing.
FSM sessions can vary in length and frequency depending on the condition being treated. A typical session may last from a few minutes to an hour, and multiple sessions may be required for the best results.
It is often used to alleviate chronic and acute pain, such as musculoskeletal pain, nerve pain, and migraines.
FSM is claimed to have anti-inflammatory effects and may be used to reduce inflammation associated with various conditions.
Some practitioners use FSM to support tissue healing and recovery, especially in cases of sports injuries or postsurgical recovery.
FSM has been suggested as a potential treatment for neuropathic conditions, aiming to alleviate symptoms like tingling, numbness, and nerve pain often associated with diabetic neuropathy or other neuropathic disorders.
