Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)

FSM was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice that came with a machine made in the 1920’s.
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. She published paper on the "Treatment of chronic resistant myofascial pain in the head neck and face." in 1998 in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic. Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997 to see if the effects of FSM were reproducible..
The frequencies were developed in the early 1900's and used with funky looking electronic equipment that fell out of use in the 1940's. Microcurrent was introduced as a battery operated physical therapy modality in the 1980's in Europe and the US. Microcurrent devices deliver frequencies and current in millionths of an amp and have been shown in published studies to increase energy (ATP) production in cells by 500%.

Frequency protocol development began in 1995 and Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997. Since then hundreds of practitioners around the world have taken the FSM seminar and use this amazing new technique to help patients recover from myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, concussion and many other health concerns.
Protocols for treating neuropathic pain were developed by Dr. McMakin in 1998. She then developed a protocol for treating the full body pain from fibromyalgia caused by neck injuries in 1999. The paper was published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies in July of 2005. It documents unheard of changes in inflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides with the use of a specific frequency protocol and microcurrent application.

Dr. McMakin has spoken at fibromyalgia conferences and medical and alternative medicine meetings around the US, in England and Australia. She presented the cervical trauma fibromyalgia treatment data at the National Institutes of Health.

"FSM is a passion for me. Our practitioners are helping patients recover from conditions that cannot be treated using any other modality."

Pain Management
FSM has changed what is possible in pain management. FSM can treat chronic myofascial pain quickly, easily and comfortably. Nerve pain from nerve traction injuries, disc bulges and herniations and herpes and shingles can be treated successfully by FSM practitioners.
There are protocols for kidney stone pain, disc and facet joint generated pain that give rapid and often lasting relief. The protocol for fibromyalgia associated with neck trauma offers pain relief, unprecedented changes in inflammatory cytokines and hope for the 2 million patients who suffer from this condition.
There are never any promises with medical procedures but Frequency Specific Microcurrent offers hope.
You'll see why our motto is, "It's easy to walk on water once you know where the rocks are."

Sports Medicine and Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Throughout the world now athletes from many sports are using FSM in record numbers. The results are impressive and consistent. Chronic injuries clear up in record time. FSM can remodel scar tissue in one sixty minute session that would take months to do manually.New injuries heal in record time.

Imagine these benefits applied to new injuries and you can see why Jeff Spencer takes his FSM training and his FSM units with him when he treats the US Postal team on the Tour de France.
