Service Description

This treatment includes a customized Frequency Specific Microcurrent session that will address your specific needs. *If you are a new patient, please book the Initial Functional Manual Therapy Consultation prior to booking this service. ABOUT Frequency Specific Microcurrent was developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada.   The field of Bioresonance is an exciting, new treatment option emerging in medicine today.  Resonance PT is one of the few places in Bellingham offering Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM).  This therapy uses a highly specialized device to deliver painless electrical currents (one millionth of an ampere) to painful and injured tissues.  The tiny currents are similar to those already produced in the cells of the body.  Depending on the frequency (hertz) used, the current resonates with different cells and stimulates the production of cellular energy (ATP), endorphin release, and the reduction of inflammatory mediators. FSM is most often used to treat pain, especially nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and scar tissue.  Treatment with FSM is non-invasive and painless. The microcurrent is so small that the clients should not feel it at all although some clients may notice warmth and a softening of affected tissues. FSM is safe and approved by the FDA for the treatment of pain, however there are a few contraindications. These include pregnancy, pacemaker implantation, and a history of seizures. Conditions commonly treated with FSM include: Achilles tendonitis Acute (sudden) and chronic (long-term) musculoskeletal injuries Acute and chronic neuropathic (nerve) pain Adhesions & Scar Tissue, including abdominal adhesions Carpal tunnel syndrome Chondromalacia Patella Chronic fracture and bone pain Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Concussion Discogenic- and facet-based pain/injury Dislocations Fibromyalgia from spine trauma Fractures Frozen Shoulder Gout Headaches/Migraines Immune / Autoimmune issues Irritable Bowel Syndrome Jaw pain Lateral or Medial Epicondylitis Ligament Laxity Low Back/Neck Pain Liver inflammation Lymphedema Myofascial pain & Trigger points Neuromas Plantar fasciitis Post-surgical pain Sacroiliac pain Tendon & ligament injury Thoracic outlet syndrome Vagus nerve dysfunction Viscerally-referred pain Whiplash Please hydrate with driving plenty of water prior to your session as that will improve the effectiveness of the therapy.
