Health Tip: If You Dislocate Your Shoulder
|
(HealthDay News) -- The shoulder has a wide range of motion, making it easier to disconnect the joints and cause a dislocated shoulder, the Mayo Clinic says. If this happens to you, get medical attention as soon as possible. To reset the bones in proper alignment and help ease pain, your doctor may try gently maneuvering the shoulder in a process called reduction. If the shoulder won''t go back into place, surgery may be necessary. The doctor may also put your shoulder in a sling to prevent re-injury. Avoid strenuous activity for as long as your doctor advises. When treated properly, the shoulder should heal normally. However, it may be more susceptible to dislocation again.
