Most of we Floridians may not be aware of how mobile our shoulders are merely because we haven’t noticed how we use them, but the fact is that the joint in the shoulder allows our arms to move in various motions afforded to other bodily limb. Due to the fact that the shoulder is so mobile and able to express such a wide range of motion, it is also the one joint in the body that is most often dislocated. Whether one is a sports enthusiast or not, everyone ion every age group is susceptible to a possible dislocated shoulder.
Treatment for a dislocated shoulder depends on how old you are, your physical health, as well as the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of physical therapy or shoulder pain therapy as an alternative to surgery. Sometimes, surgery is the only alternative, which will require further physical therapy afterwards, including shoulder pain therapy. Orlando pathologists and other therapeutic specialists offer specific therapies to help recover mobility, motion and strength in the shoulder after surgery, as well as to regain strength and minimize pain.
There are situations in which one might be able to avoid both actually dislocating one’s shoulder as well as subsequent surgery through personal awareness. Being aware of how your shoulder feels, especially if you are engaging in a strenuous activity or new exercise regimen that is causing pain in your shoulders, can signal to you that something is wrong and a possible dislocated shoulder may be imminent. The best way to deal with this is to visit a physical therapist, especially if you are experiencing significant pain in your shoulders.
