frequency specific microcurrent
Background: Acupuncture is frequently offered for wounded warriors as a component of an integrated approach to pain and associated symptoms, with increasing availability at military treatment facilities and Veterans Administration hospitals. While medications can be effective for many patients, acupuncture and microcurrent therapies address the growing need to offer non opiate, non pharmaceutical therapeutics in integrative pain management. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a newer, adjustable, microcurrent, electrical stimulation modality with applications for pain and other associated symptoms. Using low amperage, electrical current delivered transcutaneously affects and repairs tissues at the cellular level. Additionally, concomitant treatment with acupuncture is possible, which is particularly helpful when space and time limit the frequency with which acupuncture treatments can be provided.
The most important things to keep in mind when considering mental health, the brain and PTSD is that in the brain: 1. Everything is connected to everything else; 2. The system is designed to help you survive trauma and threat in a primitive world; and, 3. Nothing in the brain reacts well to inflammation
Dr. Carolyn McMakin developed Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) in 1996 and began teaching it in 1997. She has a part-time practice, does clinical research and teaches FSM seminars in the US and abroad. She consults with and treats professional teams and elite athletes. She has lectured at the National Institutes of Health and at conferences on fibromyalgia and the differential diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain syndromes. She has authored seven peer-reviewed articles, four book chapters and two abstracts in the areas of chronic pain and differential diagnosis. Her textbook, “Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management” was published by Elsevier in 2010. Her book “The Resonance Effect” will be published by North Atlantic Books in 2017.
Heal tissue faster, recover from your workout sooner and improve your brain and nervous system function with frequencies. Studies have shown a 500% increase in intracelluar energy (ATP) within one session. Dr. McMakin is an international expert in Frequency Specific Microcurrent and provides an overview of the technique, tools and how to get the benefit out of it. You can learn more by reading her book, The Resonance Effect.
Ms. Carolyn McMakin and CW5 (R) Mary Hosteler discuss Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). Carolyn is the founder of Frequency Specific Microcurrent and the author of Frequency Specific Microcurrent in Pain Management and “The Resonance Effect” and has authored eight peer reviewed papers. Mary is a retire US Army Chief Warrant Officer who served for “40” years and is a predominant advocate of the Microcurrent therapy.
