What's the best way to recover from a shoulder dislocation?

Rehabilitation: At 41, with proper exercise and rehabilitation, the risk of another dislocation is very low. At 21, the risk of recurrent dislocation, is very high, even with proper therapy. A proper course of therapy and daily strengthening exercises will help the most. Surgery is used for those who do not or will not achieve appropriate stability with therapy alone.

A sling.: A sling may be used for a few days, for comfort. You will most likely require physical therapy, but , in some cases, at the age of 44, surgical stabilization may be required. See an orthopedic shoulder specialist, for the best course of treatment.
