What are your treatment options for shoulder subluxation (partial dislocation)?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
PT and maybe surgery: The initial choice is usually for physical therapy to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles and to strengthen the scapular stabilizing muscles. If there is significant pathology or the patient continues to haves symptoms after trying to rehab the shoulder, then surgery may be an option to repair the injuries.

Phyysical therapy.: At age 50, the chances of recurrent dislocations/subluxations are low. Physical therapy is usually prescribed to strengthen the surrounding musculature to prevent recurrences.
