Visceral and Somatic Disorders: Tissue Softening with Frequency-Specific Microcurrent
Visceral and Somatic Disorders: Tissue Softening with Frequency-Specific Microcurrent Carolyn R. McMakin, MA, DC and James L. Oschman, PhD Abstract Frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) is an emerging technique for treating many health conditions. Pairs of frequencies of microampere-level electrical stimulation are applied to particular places on the skin of a patient via combinations of conductive graphite gloves, moistened towels, or gel electrode patches. A consistent finding is a profound and palpable tissue softening and warming within seconds of applying frequencies appropriate for treating particular conditions. Similar phenomena are often observed with successful acupuncture, cranial-sacral, and other energy-based techniques. This article explores
