Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a cutting-edge therapy used by professional athletes, chronic pain patients, and wellness seekers alike. FSM delivers very low-level electrical currents—similar to the body’s own natural frequencies—to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and calm irritated nerves.
At Up North Acupuncture, FSM is often used alongside acupuncture or dry needling to accelerate recovery and deepen results. It’s a gentle, non-invasive therapy that helps your body heal from the inside out.

What FSM Can Help With
Whether you’re dealing with stubborn pain, nerve issues, chronic fatigue, or hormonal chaos, FSM speaks your body’s language, literally. By delivering precise microcurrents at targeted frequencies, we help your body repair damaged tissue, calm inflammation, and restore function where things feel “off.” Most patients notice relief quickly, even if nothing else has worked.
- Nerve pain, sciatica, and neuropathy
- Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and long COVID symptoms
- Menstrual cramps, hormone imbalances, and fertility challenges
- Migraines, TMJ, and tension headaches, Migraines, TMJ, and more
- Injury recovery, scar tissue, and post-surgical healing. It melts scar tissue and fibrotic tissue.
- Musculoskeletal Pain - Disc injuries, Back and Neck Pain, Fractures & Bone Pain, Fractures & Bone Pain
What Makes FSM Unique?
Every tissue in your body resonates at a specific frequency when healthy. When injured, infected, inflamed, or emotionally stressed, that frequency changes. FSM works by delivering two paired frequencies: one to address the issue (like inflammation or scarring) and one to target the tissue (like nerves or muscles).
You don’t have to understand the science, we do. And we’ve seen it work, over and over again.

Frequently Asked Questions
FSM is a non-invasive therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to promote healing at the cellular level. Specific frequencies are selected based on the condition being treated, helping to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve tissue repair.
FSM may support recovery from:
Sciatica and nerve pain
Concussions and brain fog
Joint and muscle injuries
TMJ and jaw tension
Menstrual pain and hormonal issues
Disc herniation or spinal pain
Post-stroke rehabilitation
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and more
Yes, FSM is very safe when used by a trained practitioner. It is FDA-approved as a Class I device and has no known long-term side effects.
Yes—hydration is essential. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to help your body conduct the currents effectively and improve treatment outcomes.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) delivers ultra-low electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural signals. These frequencies target specific tissues and conditions to promote healing. Research has shown that FSM can increase cellular energy (ATP production) by up to 500%, helping cells repair faster, reduce inflammation, and calm nerve irritation. Unlike stronger electrical therapies, FSM is gentle and often not felt during the session—yet it works deep beneath the surface.
Not exactly. While both use electrical current, FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) delivers much lower-level currents—typically below the sensory threshold—designed to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. TENS machines use higher-frequency pulses to block pain signals temporarily, while FSM works at a deeper level to support healing. Most people don’t even feel FSM during treatment, but its effects can be long-lasting and profound.
