Reoccurring Dislocations

In cases of recurrent dislocations or instability, the recommended treatment approach involves modifying or avoiding activities that are known to contribute to the problem. Rehabilitation of the shoulder with the assistance of a physical therapist is also an important step in the management of this condition. However, if these conservative measures do not yield satisfactory results, the option of undergoing stabilizing surgical procedures may be considered.
