What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy?
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) uses electromagnetic pulses on two channels firing at the same time for more specific and targeted therapy. The electrical current is very gentle at one millionth of an ampere. Frequency specific treatment vibrates a frequency that resonates with specific tissue enough to change its chemical structure, from one that causes tension, pain, immobility, to a different more stable state with greater movement and decreased pain.
Specific frequencies have been clinically observed to address over 200 conditions involving inflammation, tissue repair and pain, as well as, less common conditions such as shingles and polio virus. FSM is known to significantly increase the body’s production of ATP in injured tissues and beta-endorphins in the body. FSM is known to decrease inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha) and substance P, thus decrease pain.
Treatment involves patient lying in comfortable clothing with warmed-damp towels strategically placed, depending on condition(s) being addressed. Towels are connected to FSM machine while a painless and low risk current flows through treatment area. Treatment typically lasts anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes.
FSM does not claim to diagnose or treat any medical conditions.

Elle2025-02-25I've been going to Dr. Afrooz since 2021 and before she switched buildings to this one. She gets to know her patients well and always knows what to look for and test for. She's been so vital in my quality of life and has helped me and my family every step of the way. Even when I was at my darkest, she was there helping from the sidelines. My entire family has all been helped by Dr. Afrooz and her husband. We've made connections and friendships and became familiar with each other in a way that other doctors are usually more one-dimensional with. Dr. Afrooz has changed my life in such a wonderful way! She is worth every penny we've paid and way more!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Manzur Ahmed2024-07-05Dr Afrooz is my favorite. She is very knowledgeable and patient with her patients. I was always feeling very tired and lethargic and I was thinking that maybe I had long covid. But Dr Afrooz knew all the right questions to help identify that my condition is related to tick bites instead from a hiking trip I had gone on. I ask a lot of questions and she seems to not find me to be frustrating and i know that she is straightforward because she’s not afraid to say I don’t know if she does not know the answer to any of my questions. Nor is she dismissive of me whether it be ideas as to what I think could possibly help me or if I tell her something does not feel right. I highly recommend her and I feel fortunate to have been able to see her.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Muhammad Haroon2024-06-27This is one of the most convenient doctor offices that I have been to. The appointments and treatments here are not nearly as atrociously priced as most of my visits to other doctors. The staff and workers really make me feel cared for. I recomend this doctor office over many other ones.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Oxana Oleson2024-06-26I have known Dr. Afrooz for the past 8 years. Besides her knowledge and care she put in helping patients with different complex health issues, she is also one of the nicest people I know. She treated me and my family and never gave up on me trying to find a solution for treating chronic Lyme disease. Her office is equipped with lots of helpful tools to get you well. My favorite is a hyperbaric chamber, but there are many more. My daughter also recovered from Lyme disease with help of Dr. Afrooz. At that time, she was only 5 years old. I am beyond grateful for her help and knowledge. She is using both-conventional and integrative methods and always keeping up to date on new treatments. ,Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
