THE USE OF TUNING

FORKS TO AID IN POST-

OPERATIVE PHYSICAL

THERAPY IN RAPTORS

Carolina Raptor Center

NWRA Symposium

March 5-9 2019

St. Louis, MO

BACKGROUND


Energy medicine is an emerging field

based on ancient beliefs

Cold laser therapy

Therapeutic ultrasound

Whole body vibration therapy

Reiki and Healing Touch

Tuning forks?

How does it work?

STUDY DESIGN


Retrospective

All cases in which tuning fork was used

keyword = “tuning fork”

Note that the tuning fork was only used in cases

that were not going well Chronic, scarred

Near a joint

Highly comminuted

STUDY DESIGN


Narrowed to a specific injury (humerus fractures)

Reviewed record, particularly the PT chart, and

subjectively divided into broad categories

Definite improvement

Possible improvement

No improvement

Unknown

15 CASES


Id Species Date Status Description # Sessions Notes

18570 BDOW 2/4/2015 E Humerus fx - comminuted 2 ROM improved. Healed but not flying well enough

18381 RTHA 11/11/2014 E Humerus fx 2 ROM good. Used to stimulate bone healing. Non-union,

refractured

18814 RTHA 6/4/2015 R Humerus fx 5 ROM improved but frequency of PT was also increased

18935 RTHA 7/14/2015 E Humerus fx 4 ROM improved but frequency of PT was also increased

19005 MIKI 8/9/2015 R Humerus fx 2 ROM improved

19034 RTHA 8/22/2015 R Humerus fx 2 ROM improved?

20313 RTHA 1/23/2017 R Humerus fx 12 ROM improved but frequency of PT was also increased

20506 BLVU 4/22/2017 E Humerus fx 1 Unknown - fixation failed due to severity of fx

21733 BWHA 7/25/2018 E Humerus fx 2 Definite improvement in ROM

21766 RSHA 8/4/2018 E Humerus fx 1 Definite improvement in ROM

21611 BDOW 6/13/2018 E Humerus fx - long 4 Unknown - may have helped reduce edema

19013 RTHA 8/15/2015 E Humerus fx - very distal 1 No improvement

19024 RTHA 8/20/2015 T Humerus fx - very distal 11 ROM improved

19086 RSHA 9/18/2015 E Humerus fx - very distal 2 No improvement

21301 BDOW 1/25/2018 R Humerus fx - massive soft

tissue damage 8 ROM improved

THEORY


Sound therapy, vibrational therapy, Energy medicine

Hinduism, Pythagorus, ancient Egyptians, Albert Einstein

refer to life in terms of vibrations and a “Universal

Energy Field”.

String theory

Effects of sound on the human mind

1800s – Russian and Austrian military bands used

440 to 450 Hz tuning forks to instill

“aggressiveness” during battle.

Joseph Goebel – Minister of propaganda for Nazis

Used for “energetic activations” of certain parts of

the body

THEORY


Maman1 demonstrated the effects of acoustic

energy on cancer cells.

12 notes of Maman correspond to the 12

principle organs identified in Chinese

medicine/acupuncture.

128 Hz used for local pain/inflammation

McAllister2 - “Regeneration of blocked cell

energy” – wound healing in rats 1 https://alternative-doctor.com/blog/music-killing-cancer-cells/ 2 McAllister – Vibrational Frequencies in Wound Healing - wound healing in rats.

THEORY


“A fundamental principle of sound healing is that

…symptoms are being generated by an underlying energy

field. Thus, if we change the energy field, then [resulting]

patterns will also change.” Beaulieu, p 17.

NITROUS OXIDE


NITROUS OXIDE


128 Hz causes spike in nitrous oxide (NO)1

A signaling molecule but also has MANY direct effects on

cardiovascular system, immune system

Can induce resonance in various tissues

1Beaulieu, p. 57

NEXT STEP


Prospective study with control group

Need specific inclusion criteria

Need a way to objectively assess outcomes and

eliminate bias.
