139 - The Role of Practitioners and Diagnosis: Frequency-Specific Microcurrent in Practice

Hosts:
Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC
Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT

Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss their experiences with Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy, emphasizing the unscripted nature of their sessions. They share detailed patient cases, illustrating how subtle symptoms often unravel a web of underlying issues. From treating scattered medical histories and chronic pain to managing unexpected asthma and post-surgical complications, they delve into the importance of flexibility in diagnosis and treatment. 

The conversation highlights the challenges practitioners face, including differentiating types of coughs, the impact of barometric pressure changes on pain, and the role of patient empowerment and trust. Ideal for FSM practitioners, the episode underscores the value of detailed patient histories and the non-linear journey toward healing.
