Treatment Information
What is Shoulder Dislocation Treatment?
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) comes out of the shoulder socket due to trauma, falls, sports injuries, or accidents. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve closed reduction, immobilization, physiotherapy, or arthroscopic surgery to repair damaged ligaments and prevent recurrent dislocations.
