Dislocated shoulder after treatment; what can i do to make it better sooner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time then therapy: The worst complication of shoulde dislocation is recurrent dislocation. This can be prevented with surgery or immobilization after the initial dislocation. An external rotation sling/brace may help the torn labral tissue heal in a better position. It takes about 3 weeks of immobilization before you can start therapy, any sooner and you would be at risk for instability. Patience is important.
