Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I dislocated my should a couple days ago away from my home town. The ER doctor put it back in place and put a sling on it. He was not an orthopedic doctor. Do I need to see an orthopedic Dr. to determine how bad the dislocation is and to get physical therapy on it?
hello, better to consult orthopedic surgeon for position of shoulder. generally no treatment required. after reduction rest and immobilize is enough. no need for physiotherapy.
