In recent years, we’ve witnessed a growing interest in energy-based therapies—treatments that work with the body’s natural electrical systems to promote healing. One of the most promising among these is Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), a therapy that’s rapidly gaining recognition for its ability to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery in ways that conventional approaches often cannot.

As a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, I’ve seen FSM transform outcomes for patients suffering from chronic pain, injury, fatigue, and even organ dysfunction. But what exactly is FSM, and how does it work?


What Is Frequency Specific Microcurrent?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses extremely low-level electrical currents—measured in microamperes (μA)—to stimulate the body’s own healing processes. Unlike TENS units, which operate at milliamp levels and are designed to block pain signals, FSM currents are 1,000 times smaller, working on a cellular level to restore balance and function.

But the real magic of FSM lies in the frequencies. Each condition in the body—whether it’s inflammation, scar tissue, nerve pain, or muscle spasm—has a unique energetic signature. FSM uses pairs of frequencies, with one targeting the tissue type (like nerve, fascia, or organ) and the other targeting the specific condition (like trauma, infection, or inflammation). When matched correctly, this dual-frequency approach helps to normalize the function of damaged tissues and dramatically speed up healing.


How Does FSM Work?

At its core, FSM enhances cellular communication and energy production. Here’s what we know from research and clinical use:

  • ✅ Increases ATP production by up to 500% – ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of your cells. FSM stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP, which fuels repair and regeneration.
  • ✅ Reduces inflammation – Certain frequencies have been shown to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote anti-inflammatory pathways.
  • ✅ Releases tight muscles and fascia – By softening scar tissue and adhesions, FSM can restore flexibility and reduce stiffness.
  • ✅ Modulates pain signals – FSM calms nerve irritation, making it highly effective for chronic and neuropathic pain.

Conditions That Respond Well to FSM

FSM has been used to support recovery across a wide range of conditions, including:

🔹 Musculoskeletal & Chronic Pain

  • Neck and back pain
  • Shoulder, hip, and knee injuries
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tendinopathies
  • Myofascial pain and trigger points

🔹 Nervous System Conditions

  • Sciatica and neuropathy
  • Post-concussion syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Migraines
  • Neuralgia

🔹 Internal & Functional Disorders

  • IBS and gut inflammation
  • Liver and kidney detoxification support
  • Hormonal imbalances (PMS, adrenal fatigue)
  • Asthma and chronic sinus congestion
  • Scar tissue and adhesions from surgeries

🔹 Recovery & Performance

  • Post-surgical healing
  • Athletic recovery and performance optimization
  • Acute injury management

What to Expect During a Session

FSM treatments are safe, painless, and relaxing. Most patients don’t feel the microcurrent itself, but many report a sense of warmth, relaxation, or a gentle pulsing in the area being treated. A session typically lasts 30–60 minutes.

Depending on the condition, we may combine FSM with other treatments like chiropractic care, nutrition protocols, or functional neurology to enhance your overall outcome.


Why I Use FSM in My Practice

As someone deeply invested in helping patients heal from the inside out, FSM has become one of my most trusted tools. It allows me to address the root causes of dysfunction, not just the symptoms, and to work with the body’s natural intelligence instead of overriding it.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic illness, or just want to support optimal function, FSM offers a safe, evidence-informed option that fits seamlessly into a functional medicine approach.


Ready to Experience FSM?

If you’re struggling with pain, inflammation, fatigue, or a condition that hasn’t responded to conventional treatments, Frequency Specific Microcurrent could be the missing piece in your recovery.
