Reflections and Innovations in Frequency Specific Microcurrent
As we wrap up another year, it's essential to reflect on what we've learned and how we've grown. This year has been particularly enlightening in the realm of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), showcasing innovations and reinforcing the tried and true practices that continue to benefit our patients. Let’s dive into some of the fascinating medical topics that dominated our discussions this year.
The Power of Flexibility and the Role of Multiple Machines
One of the significant revelations this year has been the necessity of flexibility—not just in treatment plans but also in utilizing multiple FSM machines. As Kim Pittis shared, sometimes deviating from a rigid plan unlocks new possibilities. This adaptability is crucial, especially when dealing with complex cases involving scar tissue or herniated discs. The ability to use multiple machines doesn't just expand the treatment options; it becomes an absolute necessity, sometimes employing as many as nine machines, to address various conditions simultaneously effectively.
Vestibular Injuries: A New Frontier
This year, 40 and 44 emerged as surprising frequency pairs proving effective for vestibular injuries. Who knew a combination focused on inflammation and the inner ear could temporarily ease disequilibrium? By incorporating 40 and 44 at the beginning of treatment, especially during cervical practicums, practitioners noted a significant relaxation in neck muscles—a testament to the interconnectedness of vestibular function and muscular tension.
TMJ Dysfunction and Muscle-Based Causes
The dialogue around TMJ dysfunction continues to evolve, with a focus on understanding the mechanical origins rather than just treating symptoms. Often, issues stem from historical dental procedures or trauma, leading to tightened ligaments and muscles. Understanding this has allowed for more targeted interventions, using FSM to address the underlying tendinopathy in the pterygoids and related structures, delivering long-needed relief to chronic sufferers.
The Supine Lumbar Practicum: Evolving Protocols
Our ongoing study of the supine lumbar practicum has reinforced certain findings—most notably, the pivotal role of adhesions in the ureter affecting the psoas muscle. After countless cases and practicums, the evidence speaks loudly: addressing these specific adhesions consistently resolves psoas-related issues, providing an effective model for future treatments.
Diving into Deep Tissue and Viscera
Understanding the layers of tissues and the impact of scarring has revolutionized treatment approaches. FSM provides the unique capability to address deep tissue issues, minimizing collateral damage often associated with traditional methods. This respectful approach to the body’s tissues aligns with a philosophy of uncovering the root cause of conditions—going beyond mere symptom management.
Harnessing Knowledge from Case Reports
This past year has seen a surge in insightful case reports, highlighting the versatility and efficacy of FSM across varied conditions. These real-world applications have not only fortified our understanding but also demonstrated reproducible results that empower practitioners worldwide.
Preparing for a Promising Year Ahead
As we look to the future, there’s much to anticipate. The upcoming symposium promises to be a robust exchange of ideas, with advancements and data ready to propel FSM into new realms of medical intervention. Let's carry forward the insights and growth from this year into 2024, armed with our teddy bears of comfort and knowledge.
By embracing the complexity and connectivity within our bodies and thoughtfully applying the principles and tools FSM offers, we're poised for another year of healing, learning, and discovery. Here’s to a fruitful and enlightening 2024. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and as always, continue to do good things with FSM.
