Neck pain is one of the most common issues people experience—often caused by muscle tension, injury, posture, or structural changes like disc problems or stenosis. At Longwell Massage Therapy, we use Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to address pain at the cellular level and help restore natural healing in the tissues.


🌿 What Is Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM)?

FSM is a gentle therapy that uses low-level electrical currents—specific to certain tissues and conditions—to help reduce pain, calm inflammation, and speed up recovery. The currents are delivered through electrodes or soft, damp towels placed on the skin, making the session both soothing and effective.


💆‍♀️ How FSM Helps with Neck Tension and Pain Relief

Neck pain can come from many sources, and FSM works by targeting the specific tissues and frequencies involved. It can help with:

  • Muscle tension and spasms

  • Disc pain and bulging discs

  • Facet joint pain

  • Cervical stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)

  • Whiplash and soft tissue strain

  • Hypermobility in the Neck

  • Concussion-related neck and head tension

  • Nerve irritation or inflammation

  • Postural strain from desk or phone use

  • TMJ-related neck tension

  • Throat and swallowing tension (often connected to fascial restrictions or nerve stress)

  • Scar tissue and fibrosis from trauma, surgery, or Radiation therapy

By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and restoring normal electrical signaling in the body, FSM helps tissues relax, repair, and realign naturally.


⚡ Scar Tissue, Surgery, and Radiation Support

After trauma or surgery, scar tissue can become dense, tight, and restrict movement. FSM helps soften and remodel scar tissue, improving comfort, mobility, and nerve function. It’s also beneficial after radiation therapy, helping reduce fibrosis and supporting healthy tissue regeneration.

🕊 What to Expect from a Session

FSM sessions are deeply relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably while the microcurrent is applied using soft towels or electrodes. Most clients describe it as a warm, gentle sensation—or sometimes, they don’t feel the current at all. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your condition and treatment goals.

Some people feel noticeable relief after just one session, while others need a series of treatments to achieve lasting results. The typical frequency is 1 to 2 sessions per week for 2 to 6 weeks, depending on:


  • The severity of your condition

  • How long you’ve had it

  • Your body’s individual healing response


🌸 A Holistic Approach to Healing

At Longwell Massage Therapy, FSM can be combined with Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, CranioSacral Therapy, or Lymphatic Drainage for an integrated, whole-body approach to pain relief and recovery. This combination helps release physical tension, restore mobility, and balance the nervous system for deeper healing.



💜🌿 Final Thoughts

Neck tension and pain can affect nearly every part of life — from how you sleep and move to how you think and feel. Whether your discomfort comes from an injury, whiplash, disc issues, or old scar tissue, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) offers a safe, non-invasive way to calm pain and restore balance, thereby helping with neck pain and tension relief.

By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and rebalancing your body’s electrical communication, FSM helps your tissues heal more efficiently — and helps you feel more like yourself again.

Many clients find that FSM not only relieves physical pain but also helps quiet the nervous system, reduce stress, and support emotional well-being. Combined with massage therapy, it’s a truly integrative approach to healing that supports the whole person.

✨ Relief may come after just one session — or build steadily over a few weeks. Each treatment brings your body closer to ease, comfort, and better function.
