Dislocated Shoulder – Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Home Remedies

It is important to rest your shoulder after a dislocation. Otherwise, repeated movements would irritate the affected muscles and worsen inflammation. You can take several OTC medications like acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, and aspirin to alleviate pain and discomfort. Keep in mind to follow the provided instructions and take the right dosages. Once the symptoms improve, you should stop taking them. After a few days or weeks, you can perform some gentle exercises or stretches to retain the shoulder’s range of motion. Make sure you feel no pain or discomfort when doing these exercises. [10]
