A member asked:
What rehabilitation can be done for a acromioclavicular joint separation?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sling vs. surgery: It depends on the degree of the separation. Some can only be surgically corrected, whereas others (majority) will respond to wearing a sling and physical therapy.

Rest: First let the pain subside then standard shoulder exercises will suffice
