plural noun: frequencies
- the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
"shops have closed with increasing frequency during the period. - the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
"different thicknesses of glass will absorb different frequencies of sound"
FREQUENCIES AND OUR BODIES
Our bodies and minds are extremely sensitive to a wide range of frequencies in music and sounds in our environment. Sound frequencies in music can also affect our hormones and are capable of triggering a release of chemicals that relieve stress and strengthen our immune system.
Researchers have found that vibrations and electromagnetic energy associated with them cause changes in your cells, which can then affect how your body functions. Different molecules vibrate at different rates - and those rates can speed up or slow down if conditions around the molecules change.

FREQUENCY-SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a way to relieve pain using very low levels of electrical current. This treatment option can be used on specific tissues in your body to help with pain caused by injuries or medical conditions. It’s typically painless. This technique for treating pain by using low-level electrical current. The current is delivered to certain parts of your body in an attempt to relieve pain.
A frequency is the rate at which a sound wave or electronic pulse is produced. This measurement is registered in hertz (Hz). During FSM treatment, various frequencies can be used to potentially reduce swelling (inflammation), repair tissue and reduce pain.
FSM is done with a frequency device that deliver a mild soothing electrical current to certain parts of your body. The electrical current used in this treatment is extremely mild — one millionth of an ampere. Such a small amount of electrical current is safe. Interestingly, the human body actually produces its own current within each of your cells.
Depending on the tissue involved, specific frequencies will be selected to encourage natural healing of the body and to reduce your pain. There are frequencies for nearly every type of tissue in your body.
One of the ways FSM works is by potentially increasing the production of a substance called ATP that’s inside injured tissues. ATP is the major source of energy for all cellular reactions in your body. Because treatment with FSM can increase the amount of ATP that’s created in your damaged cells by as much as 500%, this treatment may help with your recovery. Depending on the condition, treatment with FSM can “loosen” or soften the muscles, which can help relieve pain or stiffness.
FSM is most often used to treat pain, especially nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and scar tissue, from the following conditions:
In general, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent treatment is non-invasive and painless. The currents used in FSM are so low that you may not even feel them. During FSM treatment, you might feel a warmth and softening of the affected tissues.
RISKS / BENEFITS
There are certain groups of people who shouldn’t receive FSM treatment, including:
