FSM Stimulation
Frequency Specific Microcurrent Stimulation This sub-sensory (too subtle to feel on the skin) level of electrical stimulation has been used in treatment over the last 30 years for decreasing inflammation and reaching restricted tissues of the body. Its use has been mostly publicized in cases of professional athletes needing a speedy injury repair process. This device is approved by the FDA, much like other ES (Electrocurrent Stimulation) machines such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), for pain control and muscle stimulation for rehabilitation. However, this FSM current is 1/1,000th of the level used in a TENS unit. This much smaller stimulation creates an effect different than the mili-amperage machines. Instead, there is a localized chemical and metabolic change in the cellular activity of stimulated structures. The tissue change often results in less swelling and pain. This is an exciting, new way of supporting change in chronic pain conditions that have systemically spread along neural and fascial pathways.
