Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss how Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) requires attention to detail while staying flexible and treating what you find in real time, emphasizing the value of slowing down, building rapport, and eliciting patient stories to uncover healing "nuggets." They share seminar and clinic examples including treating hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos with vestibular issues, addressing cecum irritation potentially linked to parasites, resolving an acute "frozen shoulder" tied to hypermobility and tendon injury while avoiding steroid injections, and a case of SPG7 symptoms improving after targeting cerebellar pathways, misfolded proteins, and DNA repair frequencies. They also cover clinician education topics such as why foam rolling the IT band can be harmful, the importance of treating fat pads, and clarifying FSM contraindications and precautions involving pregnancy, pacemakers, infections, insulin pumps, DVTs (avoiding 284), spinal stenosis (use alternating current), and tachycardia scope considerations.
