Frequency Specific Microcurrent

Frequency Specific Microcurrent Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an exciting new way of treating nerve and muscle pain and m

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. In 1998, she published paper on the “Treatment of chronic

resistant myofascial pain in the head, neck and face” in Topics in Clinical Chiropractic. In addition to other published FSM papers, Dr. McMakin's textbook "Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management" was recently published by Elsevier. Dr. McMakin began teaching FSM in 1997 to see if the effects of FSM were reproducible. By June 1997 it was clear that the effects were reproducible and the seminars have evolved into a three day intensive class in the use of frequency protocols, the differential diagnosis of pain generators and neurologic conditions. The frequencies were developed in the early 1900’s and were 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 USA. 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%. Since 1997, 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. The FSM seminar teaches frequency protocols, differential diagnosis of pain complaints and hands on use of the microcurrent equipment. Our students evaluate the seminars consistently with 5/5 value approval ratings.

Frequency Specific Podcast - Episode 208: 208 - FSM Podcast Foot Mechanics, Imaging That Changed Everything, Pivoting Goals in Complex Pain

In this Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) podcast episode, the hosts discuss mindset and race preparation, including using FSM (even in a sauna), yoga, meditation, and balance work, and connect performance gains to often-neglected intrinsic foot muscles and tarsal/talus mobility. Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis explains how restricted tarsal and talus motion can disrupt gait mechanics and how tools like an activator may stimulate proprioceptors. She then recounts a home visit with an 83-year-old man with four prior spine surgeries and severe chronic pain; a CT scan revealed extensive fusion (including pelvis), lateral vertebral shift, and hardware issues that changed the care plan away from forcing upright posture and toward safe walking, lower-leg/foot mobility, and symptom management. After targeted FSM protocols and supportive strategies, his leg circulation improved, and he became virtually pain-free, highlighting the importance of imaging, clinical judgment, and resetting goals and expectations.
