Shoulder Dislocation
​
The Shoulder is one of the most mobile and versatile joints in the human body, enabling a wide range of motions. However, this mobility also makes the shoulder joint prone to injuries, particularly dislocations.
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) pops out of its socket (glenoid). This condition requires prompt medical attention to prevent long-term complications and restore full functionality.
 
What Causes Shoulder Dislocation?
Shoulder dislocations often occur due to traumatic injuries or excessive force applied to the joint. Common causes include:

• Sports injuries, especially in high-impact or contact sports like Football, Cricket, Kabaddi, Wrestling and other sports

• Falls, where the impact forces the shoulder out of its natural position.

• Accidents, such as car collisions or workplace injuries.

• Repetitive overhead movements, which can weaken the stabilizing structures of the shoulder over time.

 
Signs and Symptoms of Shoulder Dislocation
Recognizing the signs of a dislocated shoulder is crucial for timely treatment. Key symptoms include:

• Intense pain in the shoulder region.

• Visible deformity, with the shoulder appearing out of place.

• Swelling and bruising around shoulder.

• Limited range of motion and inability to move the arm.

• Numbness or tingling in the arm or hand.

 
If you suspect a shoulder dislocation, avoid attempting to reset the joint yourself, as improper handling can cause further damage.
