Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy in Austin, TX
Precision Microcurrent Therapy for Pain, Inflammation & Complex Conditions
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a non-invasive, painless therapy that uses very low-level electrical current combined with specific frequencies to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and calm pain-driven nervous system patterns.
At Art & Science Healing, FSM is part of a holistic care strategy designed for each individual. FSM is incorporated into nearly every one-on-one, integrative session at no extra charge to support people with acute injuries, chronic pain, nerve-related symptoms, and complex or persistent conditions that have not responded well to conventional or force-based approaches. Individually programmed home care machines are available for rent or purchase.
What Is Frequency-Specific Microcurrent?
FSM uses microcurrent — electrical current measured in millionths of an ampere — delivered directly to the body through handheld electrodes or conductive pads. This level of current is similar to the bioelectric signals already produced by your cells and is typically not felt at all.
​
What makes FSM distinct is the use of specific frequencies. Different frequency combinations are selected based on:
​
-
The tissue being addressed (nerve, muscle, joint, connective tissue, organ)
-
The physiological process involved (inflammation, irritation, scarring, injury, repair)
When applied correctly, these frequencies create a resonance effect that supports more efficient cellular communication and healing responses.
Many clients notice subtle warmth, softening of tissues, or a sense of ease during or after treatment.
How FSM Supports Healing
FSM is commonly used to support:
-
Reduction of inflammatory signaling
-
Improved cellular energy production (ATP)
-
Decreased nerve irritation and pain signaling
-
Improved tissue repair and recovery
-
Calming of protective or sensitized nervous system responses
Because pain and dysfunction are often maintained by both tissue-level irritation and nervous system sensitization, FSM can be especially helpful when symptoms persist despite structural healing.
Conditions Commonly Supported With FSM
FSM is most often used to support pain, inflammation, nerve irritation, and scar tissue related to conditions such as:
​
Pain & Injury
-
Neuropathic (nerve) pain
-
Chronic fracture and bone pain
-
Arthritis
-
Disc injuries
-
Facet and other joint injuries
-
Sports injuries
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Tendinopathy / tendonitis
-
Musculoskeletal injuries
Neurological & Head/Neck
-
Concussions
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Torticollis
Chronic & Complex Conditions
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Diabetic neuropathy
-
Neuromas
-
Trigger points
-
Viscerally referred pain
Other Applications
-
Shingles
-
Burns
-
Painful scars
-
Kidney stone–related pain
-
Endometriosis
-
Irritable bowel syndrome
FSM is frequently used when symptoms are persistent, multi-factorial, or have not responded well to standard care.
Considering PEMF Therapy?
Many people first hear about PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy through advertising or wellness settings and search for PEMF in Austin when looking for help with pain, inflammation, or recovery.
​
PEMF works by applying a pulsed electromagnetic field to the body, which can induce microcurrent indirectly. FSM, by contrast, applies microcurrent directly to the body and allows for precise frequency selection based on the tissue and condition being addressed.
For people seeking:
-
Stronger and more efficient delivery of therapeutic microcurrent
-
Greater precision, rather than generalized exposure
-
Care guided by clinical assessment rather than preset programs
FSM may be a more appropriate option than wellness-based PEMF therapies.
FSM at Art & Science Healing
Art & Science Healing is one of the very few practices in Austin offering Frequency Specific Microcurrent as a primary modality.
Dr. Summer has completed extensive training with Carol McMakin, Frequency Specific, and Frequencies That Mend, including advanced coursework. She has used FSM daily since 2018 and has developed protocols for complex and difficult conditions that are recognized within the FSM community.
Dr. Summer is also sought out by other FSM practitioners as a coach and mentor. During a one-on-one session, up to eight FSM devices may be used simultaneously, depending on clinical need.
What a Session Is Like
FSM sessions are quiet, non-invasive, and gentle. Electrodes are placed on specific areas of the body while you rest comfortably. Most people feel little to no sensation during treatment.
Sessions are paced conservatively and adjusted based on your response, making FSM appropriate even for sensitive or reactive systems.
FSM is often used on its own in other locations and may be used as a stand-alone treatment through customized rental or purchased home-care devices at Art & Science Healing. Sessions in the office, however, are attended and directed by Dr. Summer and include real-time adjustments to the frequencies used as well as the full range of her clinical skills and modalities as appropriate.
