Firstly, it is essential to stay calm and try to relax the muscles around the shoulder and in the back area, as the muscle contraction that occurs in response to pain prevents the shoulder from reducing. Then, in a seated position with your knees bent, your hands can hug your knees and, with your elbows straight, when you lean back you will be pulling on your shoulder to return to its position.<\/p>\n<p>When self-reduction is impossible, an emergency department should be consulted as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef788c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ef788c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What happens after dislocation reduction?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9920812 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9920812\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Once the dislocation has been reduced (by the patient or a healthcare professional), the arm may be immobilised in a suspension for a few days to provide rest and comfort. After this, treatment may involve rehabilitation to restore mobility and strengthen the surrounding muscles. In some cases, when instability occurs frequently or there is a high risk, such as in contact sports, surgery to stabilise the shoulder may be an option that improves the condition, with excellent results in the medium and long term.<\/p>\n<p>Assessment by a shoulder and sports medicine specialist allows for an integrated approach and a return to the desired activity as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1.png 429w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1-177x146.png 177w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1-50x41.png 50w, https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Imagem1-1-91x75.png 91w\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/blog\/\"><br \/>\nAll Articles<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ortopedistabernardonunes.pt\/contactos\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to do when your shoulder dislocates?
