ORS : Acromioclavicular(ac) joint sprains(shoulder separations")should be seen by an orthopedic surgeon ideally. The majority of ac sprains are mild and can be managed w/ sling and a NSAID . More signifigant sprains( grade 3 or worse)may require surgery depending on severity, age, dominant arm, occupation, nv status, condition of skin( tenting) and sport played... Best of luck!

AC SEPARATION: Typically an AC JOINT separation can be treated conservatively when it is only a type 2 or 3. Treatment consists of therapy to regain motion after a short period in a sling. If pain persists or you have pain with activities then sometimes surgical intervention is warranted. Consult an Orthopaedic surgeon for a complete work up. Hope this information is helpful. Take care. Wilsonshoulder.com
