Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Chances are you haven't heard of frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) before. That's okay since it isn't often talked about. But it's interesting because this cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy can be beneficial for many individuals.
FSM treatments can offer relief from long-term pain or discomfort involving the musculoskeletal system. They stimulate the body's ability to self-heal and repair.
Let's talk more about what frequency-specific microcurrent treatments are and how they work.
What Is Frequency-Specific Microcurrent?
Frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) is a pain-relieving method that involves the use of low-level electrical current. It's described as low level, as you might not even feel any sensation during your treatment. The current is directed to a specific area in the body to help repair tissue and reduce pain and inflammation.
The term “frequency” refers to the rate at which an electronic pulse or sound wave is produced. This occurs repeatedly. For FSM, your treatment provider can use various frequencies depending on your needs.
How Does FSM Work?
Similar to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), another pain-relieving treatment, FSM also employs micro amperage or gentle electrical currents. These mild currents are so accurate and are administered in sequence.
It's important to go to a licensed practitioner because the correct frequencies must be determined first. Your provider performs a comprehensive evaluation of your body before proceeding with the actual treatment.
A special device is used for the treatment. This device applies current to the treatment area. Depending on the tissue that needs repair or strengthening, your provider will select the appropriate frequencies. The right frequency can vary for almost every tissue in the body.
FSM helps increase ATP production in weak or damaged cells, which facilitates healing and recovery. FSM helps increase ATP production in weak or damaged cells, which facilitates healing and recovery. ATP is a source of energy in cells, and is a critical substance needed to repair damaged tissues. FSM can also help reduce muscle pain or stiffness, allowing you to increase your range of motion and move more comfortably.
What Conditions Can FSM Help Treat?
Frequency-specific microcurrent is a non-surgical treatment. It may be worth considering if you're looking into natural alternatives to pain relief.
FSM can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan or taken on its own. It can be used to treat several conditions, including the following:
- Headaches
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Spinal disc injuries
- Joint pain
- Bone pain
- Wounds
- On the other hand, FSM isn't recommended for pregnant women or those with pacemakers, among many others. Consult with your primary healthcare provider first to determine if FSM is safe for you to try.
Does FSM Hurt?
In general, FSM shouldn't hurt. This is one of its advantages. It is non-surgical and painless, and the currents are so mild that you might not even feel them. What you're likely to feel are warm sensations as the treated issues are softened.
The effects of frequency-specific microcurrent treatments can last for many days or even longer. If you're experiencing acute discomfort, you're likely to achieve relief quickly.
Note that the effectiveness of the treatment begins with your diagnosis. Your diagnosis must be accurate so your treatment provider can also focus on areas that need the most attention. The current must be directed to where the pain is originating.

I have been to see Dr. Nenshi for two separate issues over the past 3 years. Both times she has taken the time to fully understand the problems, and really excelled at providing lasting resolution. With some other chiropractors I have found they ask you to return several times, which can make you feel like it's a revenue stream. Here, Dr Nenshi focuses on effective treatment and strives to limit the quantity of follow-ups based on true necessity. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Nenshi is a fantastic Chiropractor. I have had adjustments with her since 2009. She takes the time to listen to your concern and describes the treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. She has a holistic approach to wellness focusing not only on alleviating my pain but also on improving my overall health and mobility. She compliments the traditional spinal adjustments with neuropathy treatment, sensory training, fascia release to name a few. Each session tailored to target my problem areas and gradually restore alignment to my spine. I highly recommend Dr. Nenshi.

I've been visiting Dr. Nenshi for some time now, and I wanted to share my exceptional experience. From the outset, Dr. Nenshi's thorough approach to chiropractic care set a new standard for what I expect from healthcare professionals. Unlike any chiropractor I've been to before, she delves deep into the intricacies of how our bodies function, with a keen focus on the brain and neurological connections. This unique approach has enlightened me to several health aspects I was previously unaware of, enhancing my overall well-being in ways I hadn't imagined. What truly sets Dr. Nenshi apart is her holistic view towards treatment, emphasizing not just the physical adjustments but also how neurological health plays a crucial role in our physical state. It's refreshing to see a practitioner so dedicated to ensuring all aspects of one's health are in harmony. Based on her recommendation, I purchased a specialized pillow from her selection. This was NOT an upsell but a game-changer for my sleeping habits and posture. It took a bit to get used to but the difference was noticeable almost immediately, improving not only the quality of my sleep but also my daily posture and comfort. Healthcare can often feel impersonal and rushed, Dr. Nenshi’s attentive and informed care is a rare find. Her dedication to her patients' holistic well-being, backed by her innovative approach focusing on the brain-neuro connection, truly places her in a league of her own. If you're seeking chiropractic care that goes beyond the conventional to offer comprehensive, personalized treatment, look no further than Dr. Nenshi. My experience has been nothing short of transformative, and I cannot recommend her enough.

I have been seeing Dr Nenshi for a couple of months for a nerve issue and numb pinky finger. She is a very caring practitioner who genuinely wants her patients to feel better. She has many tools to use to see which one will work for your case. ARP wave is a little more expensive but worth a try as it helps a lot of people with their pain. I would highly recommend her practice especially if you feel like you have tried everything as she has helped a lot of people with their issues including me. Thank you Dr Nenshi!
