Frequencies for Brain Health

Can we use Frequency Specific Microcurrent to Treat the Brain?

Can we use FSM for Brain Health?

The short answer:  Yes, we can safely and effectively treat the brain with FSM.  And it goes way beyond "the Concussion Protocol."


Did you know that there is an Optimal Resonant Frequency for almost every part of the brain?

We can use Frequency Specific Microcurrent to (hypothetically) specifically target the Amygdala, Forebrain, Hippocampus, Corpus Collosum, Vagus Nerve, blood vessels, dura mater, fascia, adipose, and so on, to promote healing and optimal function of brain tissues. 


How does it work?  FSM treats the brain by pairing tissue frequencies with condition frequencies (frequency instructions), such as reduce inflammation, or alleviate congestion.  We apply these dual-frequency electrical pulses through the body from a positive electrode pair to a negative electrode pair using either sticky pads or warm, moist towels.  The treatment is sub-sensory, meaning the frequencies match the natural micro-amperage current that is already produced within your cells, and basically works by reminding the tissues what their optimal frequency resonance is. 


It's similar to plucking a guitar string which ends up vibrating an equally-tuned guitar string across the room, or how your key fab on your car works to unlock your car but not the one parked next to it.


When we hit the appropriate target tissue with the correct frequency instruction, we can elicit noticeable changes in patient symptoms. 


FSM for Post-Concussion Syndrome: A Major Success Story!

Dr. Jessie was first introduced to Frequency Specific Microcurrent when a dear friend was suffering from severe post-concussional symptoms which were poorly managed by conventional medicine.  When a Neuropsychologist recommended that her friend try a community college art class instead of pursuing his dream of a Doctoral Degree in Climate Science, and when this friend couldn't read a text message without getting a severe headache that lasted days, and he couldn't handle walking through a grocery store without lasting nervous system consequences, they seeked an alternative. 


Miraculously, they found Dr. Carol McMakin and Frequency Specific Microcurrent at the FSM Clinc in Troutdale, Oregan.  Equipped with a Home FSM Unit that helped him to heal his brain and nervous system from the post-concussion syndrome symptoms, this friend attended graduate school and maintained a 4.0 GPA during his rigorous doctoral program, FSM unit by his side.  That's when Dr. Jessie decided to learn to work with FSM and pursued manual therapy techniques that support holistic concussion recovery. 


Dr. Jessie now specializes in treating the brain for many conditions including brain fog, cognitive decline, memory challenges, acute concussions, post-concussion syndrome, and much more utilizing Frqeuency Specific Microcurrent, Neural Mobilization, Cranial Manipulation and other supportive strategies to help with these challenging, often debilitating conditions.

If you’ve ever taken a handful of vitamins and wondered how much your body is actually absorbing — you’re not alone. Nutrients taken orally can lose a significant percentage of their potency as they move through the digestive system. IV nutrient therapy changes that equation entirely. By delivering vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, IV therapy allows for near-100% absorption and rapid cellular delivery — something no capsule or powder can match. The result? Faster energy restoration, deeper detoxification, and noticeable vitality that most people feel within hours to a day. At The Healing Collective Functional & Integrative Medicine in Niwot, CO , we use IV therapy not just for hydration or recovery, but as a powerful tool for whole-body healing — especially when combined with good nutrition and targeted supplementation. Because while IV therapy provides an incredible boost, food and supplements remain the foundation of sustained wellness. Without them, many people would experience even greater nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and barriers to healing. Together, a nutrient-rich diet, quality supplementation, and IV therapy create a synergistic path to true cellular vitality.
