Soften The Tissue

91 / 396
Remove Calcium Ions / from the Nerve
91 / 142
Remove Calcium Ions / from the Fascia

The frequency 91Hz was originally thought to remove calcium from stones in the kidney or bile duct as indicated by its description on Van Gelders list of frequencies. In July 2003, it was used for the first time to treat hardening in the fascia in the legs of a professional football player because his muscles and fascia felt like stones as they were being treated; 91Hz produced remarkable softening in the fascia. Its usefulness in treating nerve pain was a late accidental discovery and its effectiveness was a pleasant surprise. As it turns out, calcium ions flow into nerve and fascial membranes during nerve depolarization and inflammation (Winquist 2005). Using 91/396, 142 seems to remove the calcium influx that perpetuates nerve pain and hardens the fascia around the nerve although there are no biopsy findings to confirm this. Clinically these frequency combinations produce profound softening of the tissue and reductions in pain and the exact mechanism of these changes is yet to be discovered.

Treatment time: 

Use these combinations for 2 to 5 minutes each or until the softening response slows or stops. Current Polarized Positive +.

*** Treatment application******************************

Current level
100300amps for the average healthy patient.
Use lower current levels of 2060amps for very small or debilitated patients. Current levels above this will be irritating and may make the patient restless or agitated.
Use higher current levels of 300500amps for larger or very muscular patients.
In general, higher current levels reduce pain more quickly and improve response.

Do not use more than 500amps as animal studies suggest that current levels above 500amps reduce ATP formation.
Current Polarized Positive +: Current is polarized positive for most nerve treatments except for shingles (see Chapter 9) and peripheral neuropathies which require alternating DC current.
Nerves respond very well and very quickly to polarized positive current.

Waveslope:

The waveslope refers to the rate of increase of current in the ramped square wave as it rises in alternating mode from zero up to the treatment current level every 2.5 seconds on the Precision Microcurrent and the automated family of FSM units. Other microcurrent instruments may have slightly different wave form choices. A sharp waveslope has a very steep leading edge
on the square wave shape indicating a very sharp increase in current. A gentle waveslope has a very gradual leading edge on the waveform indicating a gradual increase in current.
Use a moderate to sharp waveslope for chronic pain.
Use a gentle waveslope for acute pain or new injuries. A sharp waveslope is irritating in new injuries.

***** Lead placement ****************************

Positive leads.

The positive leads contact wraps around the neck or is placed along the spine at the exiting nerve root. The positive contact must cover at least the foramenal area where the nerve
exits the spine

Negative leads.

The negative leads attached to an adhesive electrode or wrapped in the warm wet fabric towel are placed at the end of the dermatome or nerve being treated. The placement is shown in the photographs.

Electrode Contacts. 

FSM typically uses graphite gloves to conduct the current but any conductor can be used as long as it has low resistance and can be wrapped around the spine at the exiting nerve root and have good contact with the distal end of the nerve being treated.

Adhesive electrode pads can be used if they are long enough (3 inches) to encircle the foramenal area where the nerve exits the spine and to give good contact at the distal end of the nerve.
The graphite gloves need to be kept moist so they conduct the current comfortably. The current will prickle and irritate if the gloves become dry.
