Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) with Dr. Stephanie Trgachef

An innovative technique that employs low-level electrical currents to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, regulate the nervous system, and alleviate pain. $125 per 30 min. session

What is FSM?

Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an innovative technique that employs low-level electrical currents. This method targets specific areas of the body to alleviate symptoms effectively. Frequency refers to the rate at which a sound wave or electronic pulse is generated, measured in hertz (Hz). During FSM therapy, a range of frequencies can be utilized to potentially diminish inflammation, promote tissue repair, regulate the nervous system, and alleviate pain.

How does FSM work?

FSM involves the application of microcurrents—tiny electrical impulses—directly to the skin through electrodes. These currents are typically below the threshold of sensation, making them feel gentle and non-invasive. Different frequencies are used for various therapeutic effects. Each frequency can target specific conditions, such as inflammation, pain, nervous system modulation or tissue repair. The practitioner selects these frequencies based on the individual’s needs.
Physiologic mechanisms of action include:
- Cellular Stimulation: The microcurrents help to stimulate cellular processes, including
  ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is essential for energy and repair within
  cells. This boosts the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
- Enhanced Blood Flow: FSM can improve circulation in the treated areas, facilitating
  better oxygen and nutrient delivery while promoting the removal of waste products.
- Nervous System Regulation: FSM may promote a balance between the sympathetic and
  parasympathetic nervous systems, helping to enhance vagal tone. A well-functioning
  vagus nerve is crucial for stress reduction and relaxation.
- Pain Gate Control: The application of electrical currents may help block pain signals from
  reaching the brain, providing immediate relief from discomfort.
- Inflammation Reduction: Specific frequencies can target inflammatory processes,
  potentially reducing swelling and promoting healing in damaged tissues.

How does FSM work?

Individuals with vagus nerve dysfunction who suffer from anxiety, depression and or irritable
bowel syndrome.
Individuals experiencing chronic pain, such as Fibromyalgia.
Individuals experiencing inflammation, such as arthritis.

What should I expect during treatment?

1. Initial Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your medical history and discuss your specific pain or health issues to tailor the treatment to your needs.
2. Preparation: You will be asked to come to clinic well hydrated. You may be asked to relax in a comfortable position. The treatment area will be cleaned, and electrodes will be placed on your skin.
3. Application of Micro-current: Low-level electrical currents will be delivered through the electrodes. You might feel a gentle tingling or warmth, but the sensation should be comfortable and painless.
4. Frequency Selection: The practitioner will select specific frequencies based on your condition. Different frequencies are used for various issues, such as inflammation, tissue repair, nervous system regulation, or pain relief.
5. Duration: Treatments typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your needs and the specific protocols used.
6. Post-Treatment Effects: You may feel relaxed and experience reduced pain or tension after the session. Adverse effects post-treatment may include: Fatigue, nausea, drowsiness, and occasionally an increase in pain. If these symptoms occur, they will last 24 hours at most.
7. Follow-Up: Your practitioner may recommend a series of treatments for the best outcomes and will discuss any follow-up appointments necessary for your recovery.

What are the benefits of FSM?

– Increased cell energy (ATP) levels by up to 500%
– Improved neurotransmitter function
– Reduced pain
– Repaired regulation of nerve tissue
– Improved cellular function
– Increased blood flow and resulting reduction in inflammation

Individuals who can not receive FSM treatment include:
– Pregnant women
– Implanted devices such as insulin pumps or cardiac pacemakers
– Active Cancer
– Seizures
– Acute infections
– Acute fractures/injuries (within 6 weeks)
– Vestibular disorders (Ex. Vertigo, acoustic neuroma, Migraine associated vertigo, Ménière’s
disease)
– Spinal stenosis
– Skin conditions interfering with the treatment area
