Additional Information

Home Treatments:

Initial care of a dislocated shoulder involves preventing further damage from occurring to the joint by placing the affected shoulder in a sling. A non steroidal anti inflammatory drug should be taken to help with the pain. Professional aid should be sought out as soon as possible. You should not attempt to pop the shoulder back in place by yourself.

Professional Medical Treatments:

A professional will be able to place the ball of the humerus back into the socket in a procedure called reduction. A shoulder sling will be needed for several weeks after and shoulder strengthening exercises are advised.

Physical Therapy and Exercises:

Rehabilitation of a shoulder dislocation will start by performing exercises with minimal body weight. This includes shoulder shrugs, supine punches where you lie on your back, extend your arms toward the ceiling to lift the shoulder off the ground, as well as pendulum swings which involve gently swinging the injured arm to increase range of motion. This progresses into isometric shoulder external rotation, internal rotation, adduction, abduction, flexion and extension exercises.

Exercise Techniques to Prevent Injury:

The rotator cuff muscles should be kept at optimal strength to prevent a shoulder dislocation from occurring. To do this, you should maintain a strength training exercise that involves overhead presses, front raises, lateral raises, and rear lateral raises all with dumbbells. External and internal rotation exercises with dumbbells or resistance bands should also be performed. Play online chosen.games for children.
