Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) at Marithyme Naturopathic Clinic

Pain relief. Nervous system regulation. Cellular-level healing.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that uses precise microcurrent frequencies to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and promote functional healing. FSM works with the body’s natural electrical currents, supporting optimal cellular energy (ATP) production and restoring balance to irritated or injured tissues. At Marithyme Naturopathic Clinic, FSM is administered by trained naturopathic doctors who assess its suitability during your initial consultation.

Why Some People Choose FSM

FSM may be helpful for individuals seeking support with:

  • Chronic or acute musculoskeletal pain
  • Nerve pain, neuropathy, or neural inflammation
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Joint stiffness or injury recovery
  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
  • Stress-driven tension, dysregulation, or autonomic imbalance
  • Digestive or organ-related discomfort
  • Trauma-informed healing and nervous system support

Because FSM uses micro-amperage currents similar to the body’s own electrical impulses, many people find it gentle, relaxing, and effective—even when other therapies have not provided relief. FSM sessions can be tailored to support inflammation modulation, tissue repair, scar tissue softening, and pain pattern interruption, depending on your needs.

What to Expect

Calm, Comfortable Sessions An FSM session typically lasts 45–60 minutes. Your naturopathic doctor will apply warm, wet towels to targeted areas, then run specific frequency pairs selected for your symptoms and goals. Most patients feel relaxed, warm, or lightly energized during treatment. Some experience immediate relief; others notice progressive improvements over several sessions.

Visit Frequency Treatment schedules vary with the condition being addressed. Many individuals start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, then shift to maintenance visits as symptoms improve. Your naturopathic doctor will create a personalized schedule based on your response and desired outcomes.

How FSM Works

FSM delivers extremely low-level electrical currents (in microamps), which research suggests may: Increase ATP (cellular energy) production Reduce inflammatory mediators Calm irritated nerves Improve tissue oxygenation Support lymphatic flow Enhance healing in injured or dysfunctional tissues Specific frequencies are matched to both the type of tissue (e.g., nerve, fascia, muscle) and the issue (e.g., inflammation, trauma, scarring).

Is Testing Required?

Testing is not required prior to FSM, but your naturopathic doctor may recommend relevant assessment—such as nutrient status, hormone balance, inflammation markers, or neurological evaluation—to better understand underlying contributors to your symptoms.

Initial Consultation Required

Before beginning FSM therapy, all patients must complete an initial naturopathic consultation. This ensures that: FSM is safe and appropriate for your condition A full health history and assessment are completed Contributing factors to pain or dysfunction are identified Your treatment is tailored to your physiology—not a one-size-fits-all program FSM is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive, root-cause-focused care plan.
