Question:	Hello,I am interested in purchasing a tuning fork to rule out fractures. Which frequency would be th best to ascertain a fracture? Which tuning fork would you recommend?
Answer:	We do not have specific data on which tuning fork may work best for detecting fractures. Since it is the vibration of the tuning fork which is what may cause increased pain/discomfort for a patient when the fork is applied within the area of a potential fracture, most tuning forks should have the same impact. However, it is always advisable to get an xray of the potential fracture.
