FSM THERAPY: Nerve Pain Relief, Injury Recovery & Inflammation Support

FSM Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy is a safe, painless procedure that can provide you with relief from chronic and acute pain. It reduces pain in muscles and nerves, treat discomfort from chronic conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. It also helps treat pain symptoms from headaches, broken bones and other injuries. Patients who are treated within four hours of new injuries such as auto accidents and surgeries have reduced pain and a greatly accelerated healing process due to the effects of both the current and the frequencies.
Because such small current is used, it is susceptible to the hydration level of the recipient. In order to gain full benefit from this therapy you must be well hydrate. It is recommended that you drink 8-10 glasses of water (not tea, coffee, etc) prior to your session.

The average number of treatments depends on the complexity of the problem. To obtain the maximum results, you should receive treatment twice a week, for a series of 10 – 15 treatments, with regular monthly maintenance sessions to follow. The effects of microcurrent are immediate and cumulative, so each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer.

They are minimal and can often be eliminated with proper hydration. The side effects are related to a detoxification reaction brought about by increased cellular metabolism and the removal of long-stored waste products.
Possible side effects may include nausea or a temporary, heightened, and painful range of motion in the muscles. Most side-effects are gone within 24 hours following treatment.

FSM therapy is especially effective at treating nerve and muscle pain, inflammation and scar tissue.
At Fairhaven Wellness we have been treating a variety of conditions including but not limited to arthritis, bulging discs,
CRPS, ehlers-danlos syndrome, fractures, inflammation, ligaments/ tendons injuries, myofascial pain and spinal issues. It has also been observed that patients who are treated within four hours of a new injury including auto accidents and surgeries have much reduced pain and a greatly accelerated healing process.

Patients who are dehydrated cannot benefit from FSM. Athletes with large muscle mass and inadequate water intake and patients over 70 who are chronically dehydrated have the most problems. Every patient is advised to drink at least one quart of water in the one hour preceding treatment. Patients who are chronically dehydrated may need more water over several days prior to their treatments.

Because such small current is used, it is susceptible to the hydration level of the recipient. There are no guarantees that every protocol is going to be effective in every patient.
In general, the frequencies either work or don’t work and if they don’t work they simply have no effect. That’s why an assessment from our practitioner it’s very important step to this process. We will find the best combination of treatment available for you.

There are no risks to the patient that we know about as long as the practitioner follows the proper contraindications and precautions associated with both FSM and the use of the machine.
FSM Therapy is not ideal for individuals with certain circumstances, like pregnancy, pacemakers or people who have uncontrolled seizures.
