How is a Shoulder Dislocation Treated?
A shoulder dislocation may require immediate medical attention. If the shoulder does not relocate to its normal position on its own, a closed reduction is performed. Once the shoulder is relocated and the cause for the dislocation is determined, a treatment plan is prescribed. Nonsurgical treatment options include the following:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
Activity modification
Rest and ice
Physical therapy
Injections
