It is never too late to chase after a dream or make a difference in other people’s lives. Dr. Carolyn McMakin, DC is a testament to that. After deciding to pursue her lifelong goal at the age of 40, Dr. McMakin enrolled in pre-med courses and the University of Western States Chiropractic College. Upon graduation, Dr. McMakin opened her own practice and by 1996 began treating patients with a list of frequencies first documented in the 1920s. 
This work led her to present her results at the American Back Society National Meeting and subsequently publish the first 50 cases of neck pain treatment in 1998. To say her work has been monumental and influential in the medical world is an understatement. 
Dr. McMakin is the leading expert on frequency specific microcurrent (FSM). In fact, she discovered a specific treatment that could eradicate a patient’s pain caused by fibromyalgia as a result of spinal trauma. Not only did she discover a reproducible treatment, but one that could help a patient feel relief within just an hour. 
On this episode of Back Talk Doc, host Sanjiv Lakhia talks with Dr. McMakin about FSM and her work introducing it to physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, and practitioners all over the world.
