Peripheral neuropathy, or damage to any of the nerves that go to your arms and legs, has many causes. Think of all the things that can injure any delicate tissue in the body. The peripheral nerves are such tissues. They can be damaged by toxins (as in neuropathies following chemotherapy), by infections, by nutritional deficiencies, by lack of blood flow (as in diabetic neuropathy).
Even a slipped disc that puts pressure on a nerve root exiting the spine in the low back can damage the sciatic nerve in the leg.
So, when treating a peripheral neuropathy it is important to know what the cause of the neuropathy is. Then it is easier to formulate an effective treatment.
Nerves
Nerves conduct nerve impulses in order to send information. Nerves communicate information or instructions to and from the brain and the rest of the body.
Nerve impulses flow from the periphery to the spinal cord, up the spinal cord to the thalamus (lower brain) and then to the cerebral cortex where we interpret the signals. Impulses flow from the brain to the periphery with instructions to the organs, muscles, blood vessels.
This loop of information flowing in and instructions going out is constant.
Signaling healing with frequencies
It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine that sending minute electric currents through nerves might somehow effect these inherently electrical tissues. Over a century ago, 1000’s of medical doctors and osteopathic physicians studied the effect of different electromagnetic frequencies on different tissues, organs and organ systems.
They found that certain frequencies selectively resonated with peripheral nerves. Other frequencies reduced inflammation and increased circulation. Pairing the frequency for nerves with that for reducing inflammation would almost magically reduce inflammation in a nerve.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is the treatment method that has developed from the exploratory work of so many doctors over a century ago. While we don’t know exactly how it works, doctors who are using FSM in their practices are amazed at the results. Conditions like peripheral neuropathy are now treatable and do actually improve.
Clinical research proves the effectiveness of FSM for peripheral neuropathy
In a clinical study entitled “Nonpharmacologic Treatment of Neuropathic Pain Using Frequency Specific Microcurrent” Dr. Carolyn McMakin details the results of 20 peripheral neuropathy patients after being treated with FSM.
Of the 20 patients treated, 65% fully recovered from nerve pain. 25% terminated care for unknown reasons. One patient was referred for additional treatment via a steroid injection. Another patient was given an FSM unit for self treatment at home and also recovered after the study.
