Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation
Why Your Shoulder Keeps Popping Out
Once your shoulder dislocates, it’s more likely to happen again — especially in younger or more active individuals. Recurrent dislocation occurs when the ligaments, labrum, or muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint become loose or torn.
You may feel your shoulder slip out during daily movements, sleep, or minor exertion. Each dislocation increases the risk of long-term instability and cartilage damage.
Treatment Options:
-
Initial management: Strengthening exercises and physiotherapy can help restore stability.
-
Persistent cases: Arthroscopic surgery to repair torn ligaments or tighten the joint capsule may be necessary.
Treating it early helps you regain confidence in your movements and avoid further injury.
