Narrative abstract: All Chiropractors will be familiar with the tuning fork and its usual purpose to assist making determinations about a patient’s hearing abilities. Some may also be aware of its claimed use for identifying fractures in a long bone.
Here I describe three applications of the tuning fork vibrations to aid in narrowing my diagnostic approach in subtle presentations, being shoulder pain, temporal bulge cranial fault, and vertigo with a subjective sensation of ‘floating’.
In each case an adapted use of the tuning fork proved a useful diagnostic aid.
