What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent? AKA FSM BioTherapy?

FSM uses micro-amperage current and the resonance effect of frequencies on tissue and conditions to reduce symptoms and improve health.

What Are the Benefits of FSM?

FSM encourages natural healing of the body, reduces pain and inflammation, and repairs tissue by potentially increasing the production of cellular energy (ATP) by up to 500%. It does this by using the body’s own electrical system to influence the mitochondria in targeted tissues to produce more energy so cells can do more work.

What Does FSM Treat?

FSM is especially good at reducing inflammation, treating nerve, joint and muscle pain and dissolving or softening scar tissue. The frequencies to reduce inflammation have helped thousands of patients with inflammatory conditions such as asthma, liver problems, irritable bowel, cardiovascular disease and diabetic neuropathies.

FSM is most often used to treat nerve and muscle pain, inflammation and scar tissue as well as the following conditions:

  • Acute (sudden) and chronic musculoskeletal injuries

  • Acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain

  • Asthma

  • Arthritis

  • Burns

  • Chronic fracture and bone pain

  • Concussions

  • Disc injuries

  • Discogenic and facet-based pain

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches

  • Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Kidney stone pain

  • Low back and neck pain

  • Neuromas (overgrowth and scarring to a nerve after an injury)

  • Plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel and foot)

  • Shingles

  • Sports injuries

  • Tendinopathy (inflammation and/or swelling of the tendon

Does it Not Work On Anyone?

Patients who are dehydrated cannot benefit from FSM. Every patient is advised to drink at least one quart of water in the two hours preceding treatment. Patients who are chronically dehydrated may need more water for treatment to be effective.

What is Treatment Like?

A trained caregiver sets the frequencies to be used for a particular condition, applying the current with TENS pads. The currents used in FSM are so low that the patient often does not feel them. Patients may notice warming or softening of the affected tissue, but it is non-invasive and painless.
