FREQUENCY SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT (FSM)

A gentle, targeted therapy to support healing at the cellular and nervous system level

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) uses very low-level electrical currents—similar to the body’s own natural signals—to support cellular function, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

FSM is a non-invasive, calming therapy that can be especially helpful for patients dealing with chronic symptoms, nervous system dysregulation, and complex health conditions.

​

THE SCIENCE OF MICROCURRENT

Microcurrent works by delivering specific frequencies that support communication within the body.

Research suggests microcurrent may:

  • Support cellular energy production

  • Promote protein synthesis and tissue repair

  • Enhance communication between cells

  • Support the body’s natural healing processes

These effects may help the body restore balance more efficiently, particularly in areas of chronic irritation or dysfunction.

​

WHAT PATIENTS MAY EXPERIENCE

FSM sessions are typically relaxing and well-tolerated.

Many patients report:

  • A deep sense of relaxation during treatment

  • Reduced tension or discomfort in targeted areas

  • Improved mobility or ease of movement

  • A calmer, more regulated nervous system

Some patients notice changes after the first session, while others experience more gradual improvement over time.

​

WHAT SYMPTOMS AND CONDITIONS MAY BENEFIT

FSM is often used to support patients experiencing:

​

Nervous System & Chronic Symptoms

  • Mold-related illness / mycotoxin exposure

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Dysautonomia / POTS

  • Vagus nerve dysfunction

Pain & Inflammation

  • Muscle and joint pain

  • Old or lingering injuries

  • Nerve-related pain

  • Inflammatory conditions

Stress, Sleep & Regulation

  • Anxiety or feeling “wired but tired”

  • Poor or disrupted sleep

  • Chronic stress patterns

​

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SESSION

During your session:

  • Warm cloths or electrodes are gently placed on the body

  • You’ll rest comfortably while specific frequencies are applied

  • Most patients feel very little, or a mild tingling sensation

  • Sessions are often deeply relaxing

  • Hydration before treatment improves effectiveness

Many patients leave feeling calmer, more relaxed, and more regulated.

​

HOW FSM FITS INTO YOUR CARE

FSM can be used:

  • As a standalone therapy

  • Or as part of your personalized functional medicine plan

For many patients—especially those dealing with mold exposure, chronic illness, or nervous system dysregulation—FSM may help:

  • Support nervous system balance

  • Promote healthy detoxification pathways

  • Improve the body’s response to treatment

​

IS FSM SAFE?

FSM is considered very safe and well-tolerated. It uses extremely low levels of electrical current.

However, it may not be appropriate for individuals with:

  • Pacemakers or certain implanted devices

  • Pregnancy (Contraindicated)

We will review your health history to determine if FSM is appropriate for you.
