"The most important thing you need to know about Fibromyalgia is that it is curable.
Not in every case, but it is curable often enough that a cure should be intention of the treatment."
Dr Carolyn McMakin - Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Naturopathy and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) offer complementary approaches to managing fibromyalgia, a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in the muscles and joints. Naturopathy addresses fibromyalgia by focusing on the underlying causes, such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies, through natural interventions like dietary modifications, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes. Naturopaths often recommend anti-inflammatory diets, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are believed to contribute to the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Additionally, stress management techniques, are commonly employed to help reduce the impact of chronic stress on the body.
​
FSM, is a useful therapeutic technique that uses specific frequencies to target areas of inflammation, pain and dysregulated processes in the body. In fibromyalgia patients, FSM is focused on reducing pain and improving muscle function, as it has been shown on a cellular level to increase ATP (cellular energy) production, reduce inflammation, reduce scarring and fibrosis, stimulate circulation and improve tissue repair. The specific frequencies used in FSM are tailored to the individual’s symptoms and needs, aiming to bring relief from the chronic pain and fatigue that are hallmarks of fibromyalgia. Patients often report a decrease in pain and a corresponding improvement in quality of life after a series of FSM treatments, making it a valuable resource in the management of fibromyalgia.
​
Together, naturopathy and FSM bring together a deeply holistic and integrative approach to treatment. Naturopathy provides the foundational support for overall health and addresses root cause and systemic issues that may be exacerbating the condition, while FSM brings targeted relief from pain and muscle dysfunction. This combination allows for a comprehensive treatment plan that not only seeks to alleviate symptoms but also promotes long-term wellbeing.

Fibromyalgia is such a big topic, with lots of research and findings, and you've probably heard it all, however I'm guessing you haven't heard it put the way Dr Caroline McMakin puts it. Have a listen to this...

Dr Carolyn McMakin - Fibromyalgia & FSM
Dr. Carolyn McMakin explains that fibromyalgia affects multiple systems in the body, leading to widespread pain, fatigue, and a host of other symptoms. She highlights that fibromyalgia is not just a pain disorder but a condition that disrupts the nervous system, immune function, and even cellular energy production, making people feel consistently unwell.
Dr. McMakin discusses the importance of addressing these underlying issues through therapies like Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to help manage symptoms.
