Is There Any Alternative Other Than Physiotherapy To Heal Shoulder Dislocation?

Hi Iam XXX 38 yrs old for last 10 yrs I have suffered dislocation 4-5 times in my right shoulder. Last 4 yrs there was no dislocation as I was under physiotherapy. When I have stopped it, I have suffered again.so is there any alternative without operation. If not tell me whether there is any option for key hole/micro surgery. And chances complete cure.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent shoulder dislocations. Honestly, if repeated reductions and immobilization have failed to provide a long lasting solution, then am afraid you would need some surgical options to get this problem fixed once and for all. Minimally invasive surgical options help reduce complications and hasten healing.

I understand your fears and concerns about surgery. Not knowing where precisely you are, I cannot propose the various options and offer specific help on that. However, every procedure is designed to make you feel better and healthier rather than to worsen the situation. If something else should happen, then it is just an unexpected complication and not the routine outcome.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to request for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
Thanks.
