As practitioners, we're often tasked with unraveling a rich tapestry of patient history to identify the underlying causes of such chronic pain. In this case, FSM can be applied following a multi-step approach: 1. Initial Assessment and History Gathering: Begin by engaging the patient in a thorough discussion of their history, including any incidents or accidents that may have led to their current condition. In our example, the patient's story revealed an auto accident and past falls, crucial in pinpointing the injury's origin. 2. Targeting Nerve Pain: When the patient mentions numbness, FSM provides a targeted approach by addressing the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Application of specific frequencies, such as 40 Hz for reducing inflammation, and 81 Hz for increasing secretion, can begin to alleviate symptoms that have persisted for years. 3. Sequential Treatment: Prioritize treating the most significant pain sources first. In complex cases like the one described, precedence was given to treating the low back before addressing the neck, which was expected to respond more quickly. 4. Patient Education and Exercises: Educate the patient on exercises that complement FSM treatments. Encouraging the adoption of proper posture and ergonomics can sustain improvements achieved through FSM, specifically by instructing on sitting positions that align and support the spine. 5. Continuous Evaluation and Adjustment: Encourage follow-up visits to track progress. Adjust treatments based on changes observed, ensuring the patient remains engaged in their care plan. --- Addressing Complex Injury and Pain Cases with a Holistic View FSM is not isolated to a single treatment approach but integrates with the broader biological and anatomical understanding of each patient's unique case. For instance, treating another patient's inability to achieve full knee extension post-replacement could involve: - Understanding Surgical Impact: Acknowledge the surgical trauma and resulting tightness in tendons due to the procedure. - Applying FSM with Precision: Utilize frequencies that target scarring and torn connective tissues. Application should focus on areas identified as problematic, such as the hamstrings in this scenario. --- Implementing FSM with Confidence Medical practitioners must prepare themselves to confidently implement FSM. This involves: - Training and Education: Participate in FSM training programs to fully understand precise frequency applications and device manipulations tailored to patient-specific conditions. - Collaborative Practice: Work closely with a team of healthcare professionals, sharing insights and results to improve overall patient outcomes. - Patient Communication: Maintain clear, informed communication with patients about their condition, treatment rationale, and expected outcomes, fostering trust and active participation in their care. By weaving FSM into clinical practice, practitioners can uncover new pathways to treat chronic pain effectively and positively impact patient recovery journeys. Remember, the key is integrating FSM with a patient-centered, comprehensive plan that acknowledges the intricacy of each individual's condition.

Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) stands out as a promising approach, providing noteworthy insights and clinical benefits. Based on recent discussions between Dr. McMakin and Kim Pittis, this post delves into practical applications of FSM and how medical practitioners can incorporate it into their practice for enhanced patient care. ### Standardizing FSM Protocol for Common Conditions Dr. McMakin emphasizes the importance of successful application of FSM protocols, specifically in dealing with complex cases such as frozen shoulder and post-surgical complications. When encountering resistance in increasing shoulder mobility, practitioners must ensure that the nerve has been adequately treated for inflammation and scarring. Start with reducing inflammation in the nerve (40 and 10 frequency) before addressing scar tissue and mechanics. For those dealing with leaky gut syndrome, Dr. Menik suggests a protocol of FSM treatments such as 1and 24 and 22, emphasizing a five-day consecutive treatment regimen. This procedure should be undertaken with adequate supervision and alignment with state laws concerning unattended treatments. It is important to monitor the patient for any signs of discomfort during the treatment to ensure optimal results, especially if running the device unattended. ### Integrating FSM for Complex Cases Dr. McMakin shares a compelling case involving a patient with knee replacements. Understanding the difference in metal types—titanium versus chromium cobalt—can crucially impact postoperative recovery. This differentiation is pivotal due to varying incidences of metal allergies. For patients with known sensitivities or unexplained inflammation post-surgery, practitioners should consider the metal type as a contributing factor to symptoms. In another case involving a patient with phantom gallbladder pain, the presence of metal clips left post-surgery required unique approaches involving FSM for treating metal toxicity. Such cases highlight the importance of considering not just the symptoms, but potentially concealed causal factors. ### Application of FSM in Nervous System Disorders FSM also has significant potential in neurological applications. A notable example involves the treatment of essential tremor, typically tied to basal ganglia function. Here, frequencies such as 81 and 988 come into play, aiming to balance secretions within the basal ganglia.

This post will provide key insights that medical practitioners can apply to their own practice, focusing on understanding the intricate relationships between conditions and how Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) might be leveraged in treatment protocols. Understanding Sclerosing Mesenteritis A patient case was presented involving a condition known as sclerosing mesenteritis. This rare inflammatory disease affects the mesentery, the connective tissue that supports the intestines. In this case, the patient, with a history of Crohn's disease, also developed complications such as atrial fibrillation and dysphonia after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and subsequently contracting COVID-19 multiple times. Medical Interpretation for Sclerosing Mesenteritis When dealing with the mesentery, it is crucial to understand that it is part of the peritoneal sac encompassing the abdomen's organs. The condition described as "sclerosing" refers to the scarring within this connective tissue. For effective management of this scar tissue, practitioners can focus on identifying affected areas using gentle palpation techniques and specific vocabulary translation for laypeople. The Vagus Nerve and Its Role in Treatment Dr. Carol, in the podcast, highlighted treating a spectrum of symptoms by focusing on the vagus nerve. This nerve influences many systems, including the heart's electrical conductivity, digestive health, and even the body's response to inflammation. In patients with autoimmune conditions, like Crohn's disease, enhancing vagal tone may reduce unnecessary immune responses and inflammation. Practical FSM Applications Medical practitioners should note the efficacy of FSM in managing scar tissue and enhancing autonomic regulation through the vagus. In this case study, strategies included: - Running concussion and vagal tone frequencies to relax tense connective tissues and potentially diminish dysphonia. - Addressing the multifaceted aspects of scar formation by working with frequencies that target sclerosis and inflammation in different tissue types. - Suggesting Huperzine-A supplementation to support neurotransmitter activity affected by vagus dysfunction. Techniques in Palpation and Videography A significant practical learning point from the episode is the technique for hands-on treatment of abdominal adhesions. Practitioners were urged to use flat fingers, apply enough pressure to feel under the layers of scarring, and push gently only when the tissue softens. Documenting these techniques through videography can serve as an educational tool for both practitioners and students. Addressing Parasites and Autoimmune Consequences In cases where autoimmune diseases like Crohn's are suspected to be linked to parasitic infections, practitioners may find it beneficial to employ anti-parasitic drug protocols alongside FSM treatments to address the root causes of inflammation. Key Takeaways for Practitioners: 1. Pay attention to comprehensive treatment plans that involve both conventional and complementary approaches like FSM. 2. Understand the anatomy involved and leverage FSM to target specific tissues effectively. 3. Consider adjunct supplements and medication for holistic treatment, especially in autoimmune conditions. 4. Continually educate and update techniques through resources such as videography and peer consultation. As shown in this podcast, exploring the intricacies of conditions like sclerosing mesenteritis through the lens of vagus nerve treatment opens new avenues for holistic patient care. Such insights not only enrich practitioner knowledge but also enhance the effectiveness of patient outcomes.

It's crucial to differentiate the underlying causes, particularly when it comes to disc-related pain, which often manifests as leg pain rather than low back discomfort. The low back pain protocol, focusing predominantly on facets alongside addressing wear and tear in the annulus, serves as a comprehensive approach to this widespread issue. This protocol is especially beneficial when imaging isn't available or conclusive, laying a foundation for symptom management. SI Joint Dysfunction - Unpacking the Complexity: A fascinating exploration into sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction reveals its intricate nature. Whether caused by torque from improper adjustments, as when a drop table is improperly utilized, or exacerbated by tension from pregnancy, SI joint issues demand meticulous attention. Taping and targeted FSM treatment on the joint capsule and ligaments can significantly reduce nerve pain radiating to the legs. The role of the psoas muscle, especially following a C-section, further complicates SI joint recovery due to potential scarring and pelvic misalignment. The Role of Compression Garments: There's ongoing discussion about utilizing compression shorts or sacroiliac belts to stabilize these joints. While sacroiliac belts can occasionally misalign the joint, compression shorts might offer a lateral stabilization that merits exploration. These garments can be crucial in transitioning from taping to fostering natural joint stability. Navigating Vestibular Injuries: Vestibular injuries, often overlooked, are prevalent among patients with chronic fatigue and other systemic symptoms. They frequently arise from seemingly minor incidents like car accidents or abrupt motion, causing disruptions in the vestibular system. Identifying these injuries often involves evaluating the patient's history and using tools like the BIVSS. Prism glasses can be an effective interim solution, stabilizing one's visual field before more intensive therapies are introduced. Insight into Endometriosis Treatment: Treating endometriosis extends beyond addressing the reproductive organs. The diffuse nature of endometrial scarring necessitates an FSM protocol that tackles inflammatory and scar tissues, including underlying adhesions in the vagus, intestines, and even the omentum. The approach often involves dissolving the blood clots and scar tissue while managing bleeding, underlining the need for a comprehensive strategy. Low Back Pain and Bowel Function: An intriguing observation links magnesium citrate laxatives and back pain relief. Given its role as a laxative, magnesium citrate may alleviate discomfort by reducing constipation-related pressure, emphasizing the interconnectedness of bowel health and musculoskeletal well-being. Advancing FSM Treatment Protocols: As we continue to advance our understanding and treatment protocols, the importance of recognizing the complex interplay between different bodily systems becomes evident. Integrating new insights into these conditions propels FSM's capacity to offer relief, fostering a holistic approach to patient care.

Additional insights include the relationship between chewing, vagal tone, fascial principles, and the synergy of breath and balance. The episode emphasizes the value of creating a safe environment for healing and the interconnectedness of all bodily functions. 01:45 Patient Case Study: Dura Treatment 05:15 Understanding the Dura and Its Importance 09:51 Fascia vs. Dura: A Deeper Dive 18:13 Autoimmune Conditions and Vagal Tone 24:40 Inflammation and Pain Management 29:34 Vagus Nerve and Vocal Cord Treatment 32:49 The Cerebellum: A Dictator in the Body 33:55 The Interconnectedness of the Body 36:13 Creating a Safe Environment for Healing 37:19 FSM Sports to FSM Rehab: A Necessary Evolution 42:05 The Importance of Flexibility in Treatment 47:14 The Role of FSM in Various Medical Fields 55:30 Upcoming Events and Courses In this fascinating exchange, we dive deep into the interconnectedness of the human body, and how various techniques and insights can lead to profound healing. We gathered insights from dedicated practitioners delving into the complexities of dural attachments, fascia interactions, and the significant role of the vagus nerve. Let's unwrap these concepts and explore how they contribute to improving overall well-being. The Complex Symbiosis of Dura and Fascia Understanding the intricate relationship between the dura and fascia is fundamental to appreciating how our bodies function and respond to treatment. The dura is akin to an invisible thread running from the head to the tailbone, affecting everything in its path. When the dura is tight or restricted, it can limit movement, as noted by the experience of a patient who could not bring their knee to their chest due to restrictions in the dura. This highlights the dura's vital role and challenges us to consider how "soft tissue" like fascia responds to the deeper, less tangible, structures beneath it. The Role of the Vagus Nerve Our exploration wouldn't be complete without discussing the vagus nerve, often heralded as a gateway to wellness. Turning up the vagus nerve can have profound effects on the body, aiding in managing autoimmune responses, and contributing to overall health when appropriately activated. It's a crucial component in creating a state of balance, influencing not just our physical posture but impacting emotional and mental states as well. Breath, Balance, and the Body The connection between breath and balance was a Eureka moment for many practitioners, revealing how the cerebellum (balance) and diaphragm (breath) share the same frequency. This synergy between breath and balance underscores the idea that treating one system without considering the others could limit therapeutic outcomes. Rethinking Inflammation and Pain Pain and inflammation are often misunderstood as inherently negative. However, like a guiding light, they inform us of deeper issues within the body. By addressing the root cause, whether that's repairing the inner structures or adjusting neural inputs via the vagus nerve, we contribute to a more comprehensive healing process. It's not just about quieting the discomfort but understanding its message. Creating Safe Environments for Healing The practitioner's role, therefore, is not just about alleviating symptoms but creating a safe environment where the body feels permission to move freely. This involves identifying why certain muscles are protecting or splinting against motion and addressing those underlying causes. Manual therapy, when combined with a nuanced understanding of neurobiological responses, can facilitate profound changes. Everything is Connected to Everything This enduring phrase encapsulates the essence of what these discussions reveal. The interconnectedness of body systems means that a shift in one area impacts the rest. Whether it's the unexpected impact of upper cervicals affecting the opposite leg or the subtle changes induced by chewing patterns, everything is interlinked. A comprehensive approach to therapy should always respect this intricate web. The Ongoing Journey The body's wisdom is both profound and mysterious. Through continuous learning, shared knowledge, and advancing techniques, practitioners can help unlock even deeper layers of healing. Whether through direct manipulation of physical structures or influencing neuro-biological pathways, the journey is one of constant discovery—a testament to the complexity and beauty of the human body.
