Ever wondered how your body would respond to gentle, low-level electrical currents? Imagine a cutting-edge wellness technology that uses these microcurrents to stimulate tissues and promote healing. That’s exactly what Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) does. Let’s break down how it works and why it might be just what your body needs.
What Is FSM and How Does It Work?
FSM uses tiny electrical currents, so small that they’re measured in millionths of an ampere. These microcurrents are far gentler than those used in other electrical stimulation therapies, making FSM a low-risk option for a wide variety of conditions.
The magic lies in the frequency. Each cell in your body has its own specific frequency, and FSM uses different frequencies of electrical current, often in the range of 0.5 Hz to 1000 Hz or more. FSM is believed to interact with these tissues and cells in specific ways. The idea is that different frequencies are designed to interact with these frequencies in targeted tissues—like muscles, nerves, or skin. By applying different frequencies, FSM aims to prompt different healing responses, whether you need pain relief, faster recovery, or improved cellular function.
At Reset, your Big Sky Spa, we specialize in bringing you the latest in wellness technology to help you achieve your health goals. FSM is one of our standout therapies designed to improve your body’s healing capacity.
Application and Technique
Using FSM is straightforward by creating a circuit through the body so that the microcurrents flow at the selected frequencies. Think of it like tuning your body’s cells back to their natural rhythms. Many people find this therapy not only effective but also relaxing.
The therapy is thought to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve cellular function. In a 2010 study testing the effectiveness of FSM for post-exercise pain management, 35 healthy adults (17 female, 18 male) found a significant reduction in perceived soreness at 24, 48, and 72-hour intervals post-exercise. That’s pretty impressive, right?
What’s Happening Inside Your Body?
Here’s where it gets fascinating: It is believed that FSM can enhance cellular repair processes, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Depending on the tissue involved, specific frequencies can encourage natural healing of the body and offer pain reduction. There are frequencies for nearly every type of tissue in your body.
One of the ways it does this is by increasing the production of ATP (the energy your cells need to function) in injured tissues. In fact, FSM can increase ATP production by up to 500%. This extra energy helps your body repair damaged tissues, making it a popular choice for both pain relief and injury recovery.
Real-World Applications
FSM isn’t just for pain management. Its uses stretch far and wide, from improving skin tone to easing the discomfort of conditions like fibromyalgia and diabetes-related neuropathy. It’s also used for sports injuries, chronic pain, and even cosmetic treatments.
The Cleveland Clinic also acknowledges its application for conditions such as: shingles, burns, kidney stones, asthma, Irritable bowel syndrome, disc injuries, fibromyalgia, diabetes-related neuropathy, neuromas (overgrowth and scarring to a nerve after an injury), tendinopathy (inflammation and/or swelling of the tendon), acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal injuries, acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain, chronic fracture and bone pain, arthritis, torticollis, disc injuries/discogenic- and facet-based pain, viscerally-referred pain, concussions, headaches, plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel and foot), sports injuries, and wounds.
At Reset Big Sky, we’ve embraced FSM to help address a wide range of wellness concerns, from post-injury recovery to long-term pain management. This powerful wellness technology is suitable for anyone looking to boost their healing process naturally.
