What is
Frequency Specific Microcurrent?
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to support the body's natural healing processes at a cellular level. By applying targeted frequencies to specific tissues, FSM aims to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, calm the nervous system, and help the body rebalance.
How does FSM Work?
Every cell and tissue in the body operates at a specific frequency. When injury or stress disrupts these frequencies, healing can stall. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy delivers precise, ultra-low electrical currents—gentle and often imperceptible—to restore the body’s natural signals and promote deep healing from within.
​
Beyond Symptom Management
FSM is more than pain relief; it’s a catalyst for holistic recovery and functional restoration. When paired with supportive practices like nutrition, lifestyle changes, or manual therapy, FSM enhances energy flow and supports the body’s natural healing pathways, including those recognised in meridian-based systems.
Supporting the Body’s Natural Intelligence
Injury, illness, or chronic stress can disrupt the body’s cellular frequencies, impairing recovery. FSM restores these signals, stimulating mitochondrial function (cellular energy production) and helping the body return to its optimal, self-regulating state.

FSM is a non-invasive, gentle, and effective therapy that works from the inside out, empowering your body to recover, rebuild, and thrive. Ready to experience FSM?
Who Can Benefit From FSM?
The Science Behind FSM
• Boosts ATP (cellular energy) production
FSM supports the body’s production of ATP—your cells’ primary energy source. Studies suggest FSM can significantly enhance ATP levels, helping accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery from injury or illness.
​
• Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage
By stimulating targeted tissues, FSM improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells more efficiently while clearing toxins and waste, supporting faster recovery and reducing swelling.
​
• Reduces inflammation and pain chemicals
FSM helps lower inflammatory chemicals like cytokines and substance P, which are often elevated in chronic conditions. This calms overactive pain responses, reducing swelling, discomfort, and stiffness.
​
• Balances nervous system function and stress response:
FSM promotes balance in the autonomic nervous system, helping regulate the body’s stress response. This can ease symptoms tied to chronic stress, anxiety, sleep issues, and nervous system imbalances.
What to Expect During a Session
Your first FSM session begins with a comprehensive consultation. Monica takes a detailed health history to understand the root causes behind your symptoms. This one-on-one assessment helps her identify patterns, contributing factors, and areas of priority for your care.
​
From there, sessions are tailored to your needs using a dual-channel FSM device that delivers specific frequencies through soft, warm towels placed over areas like the neck, back, or abdomen.
-
The current is sub-sensory, meaning you won’t feel it —the frequency is working at a cellular level.
-
Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes, including time for check-in and treatment.
-
Many clients describe FSM sessions as deeply calming and restorative, with benefits that extend beyond the session itself.
-
Monica may also offer suggestions around nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, or other complementary support to help you get the most out of your care.
The Origins of FSM
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerged from the intersection of traditional electrotherapy and a rediscovery of vibrational medicine (using frequencies to promote healing). Its roots trace back to the early 20th century, when physicians explored low-level electrical currents paired with specific frequencies to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Much of this pioneering work faded as pharmaceutical interventions became the norm.
​
In the 1990s, chiropractor Dr. Carolyn McMakin revived this forgotten knowledge after discovering a list of frequencies originally used by an osteopathic physician in the 1920s. Using a dual-channel microcurrent device, she began experimenting and saw remarkable results—such as a patient with chronic fibromyalgia experiencing near-immediate pain relief. What started as a treatment for myofascial pain and fibromyalgia soon expanded to address a wide range of conditions, including nerve injuries, inflammation, and scar tissue.
Today, FSM is embraced by practitioners worldwide, offering a non-invasive path to healing.
The Resonance Effect: Dr. McMakin’s Groundbreaking Book
In her book, The Resonance Effect: How Frequency Specific Microcurrent Is Changing Medicine (published 2017), Dr. McMakin shares the compelling story of FSM’s development. She weaves together the history of frequency medicine, the science behind FSM, and real-life case studies of remarkable healing.
The book explains how resonance between frequencies and tissues can shift physiology in profound ways, and why microcurrent is critical for stimulating the body’s repair mechanisms.
The Resonance Effect is essential reading for practitioners and patients alike, demystifying FSM in an accessible way while offering a hopeful vision for the future of energy medicine.
