Hi,
i'm in my late 20s & i've had ~ 7
dislocations (mostly from games i.E.
Basketball, squash etc) & in search of
methods to treat (beside surgery) this
problem. Would appreciate anyone with
good suggestions to reply. Thanks.

There is no exercise that works well for
this. With this many dislocations,
chances are it will keep happening unless
you have surgery. Especially if you keep
up with the sports. All the tissue in
the shoulder that holds things together is
stretched out and loose. Being so young
the reserch shows that without surgery
your shoulder will keep dislocating.
Good luck!!

I have had more trouble with my shoulder
since surgery then I had before surgery,
with the scar tissue and something not
healing correctly and now arthritis that
is why my neck surgeon will not touch me
after two neck surgeries remember, you are
young and things can happen later on and
also get a second and possibly a third
opinion if possible you might want to use
it a little so your shoulder will not
freeze up on you, I am no Dr. But I am
speaking from experience plus being a
caregiver, heck. I have even taken care
of dr's. (they are the worse patients I
have ever taken care of). You might even
talk to a naturopathic Dr. I hope I have
helped!
Sincerely,
sandy

Vince; the main cause for recurrent
shoulder dislocations is weak rotator cuff
muscles. These are the muscles around
your glenohumeral joint(fancy name for the
biggest joint in the shoulder complex). I
recommend you try pre(progressive
strengthening exercises) before you
consider surgery. If you have a personal
instructor/trainer who is aware of these
exercises, you should start them. There
are specific exercises for each muscle in
the rotator cuff. I mention progressive
because if you start with heavy weights
the dislocation will just recur. If you
can, it would be better to consult a
physiotherapist.
