Dislocated Shoulder – Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Sport Injuries

Sports injuries can cause a dislocated shoulder. When you make a contact with other players in football, baseball, hockey, basketball, or similar sports, the blow can move the shoulder’s bones out of place. To reduce the risk, it is important to wear protective gear, especially near and on your shoulders. Make sure to choose properly fitted gear and put it on correctly. During the game, if you feel something wrong with the shoulder, it is advisable to leave the field and have a medical check. This can help prevent worsening symptoms and serious injuries. [3]
