How long to recover from shoulder subluxations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quickly: In general, a shoulder subluxation means that the shoulder moves out of place but does not completely dislocate. It takes 6-12 weeks for a tear that results from a subluxation to heal. However, tears to not always occur, and there may not be a healing time associated. Some patients live with shoulders that are looser. Some have no problem with looser shoulders.
