Frequency Specific Medicine
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) uses gentle, low-level electrical currents at precise frequency pairs to support tissue repair, modulate inflammation, and calm pain signals. Research in cell biology and biophysics has shown that cells communicate through natural electrical signaling in the microampere range—the same range used by FSM. By operating within this physiological window, FSM aims to support the body’s cell-to-cell communication and repair processes within individualized care plans at Lococo Wellness Clinic.
FSM has been shown to help with:
★ How the Process Works
- Consult & Assessment — Your naturopathic doctor reviews your health history, medications, and goals to determine if FSM is an appropriate (adjunctive) option.
- Personalized Protocol — Frequency pairs (target tissue + target process) are selected and adjusted for comfort and desired outcomes.
- Session Setup — Two moist towels or adhesive pads create a gentle current path across the focus area; you’re seated or lying comfortably.
- During Your Session — Most people feel minimal sensation (sometimes gentle warmth). Sessions typically run ~30–60 minutes.
- Aftercare — Hydration is encouraged. You may feel looser or temporarily fatigued as tissues settle; home care or pacing may be recommended.
- Number of Sessions — Acute concerns may respond quickly; long-standing or complex issues often benefit from a series of visits. Progress is reassessed regularly.
- Safety & Considerations — FSM is generally well-tolerated. It is not used directly over implanted electrical devices, active DVT, or broken skin (unless protected). Pregnancy and seizure history are reviewed individually.
*FSM is complementary and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Individual responses vary.
