Dr. Carolyn McMakin and Kim Pittis, discuss the recent FSM symposium and advanced courses that were attended by physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The speakers at the training discussed various topics such as micro RNA, head, neck, and face pain, electrical circulatory systems, and the history of electromedicine. Dr. Carolyn McMakin sets a high bar for her symposium's speeches and focuses on reproducibility in FSM backed by evidence-based research. She advises on the use of specific currents in the synovium for increasing synovial fluid in the joint. Dr. McMakin stresses checking for balance in the shoulder muscles and quieting down the vagus nerve. The relationship between the thalamus and chronic pain is also discussed, with the importance of addressing root causes of pain and dysfunction in the body. The podcast episode concludes with a reminder that the podcast does not provide medical advice or create a doctor-patient relationship. Any advice should be taken in consultation with a medical practitioner.
