Ways To Treat Shoulder Subluxation

Physical Rehabilitation

Because a shoulder subluxation can include torn tendons and ligaments along with an unstable shoulder joint, it is common to have recurring subluxations after the first one. Physical rehabilitation can help to strengthen connecting tissues and the shoulder joint itself, mitigating the chances of repeat injuries to the shoulder. Physical therapy techniques will be modified depending on a few different factors including severity of the subluxation, if it is recurrent, how much tissue is damaged, the amount of instability in the shoulder, and the activity level of the patient before the injury. The goal of physical rehabilitation is to regain the arm’s prior range of motion. It is most often useful if surgery has been performed on the subluxation.
