How do You Treat a Shoulder Dislocation?

Dr. Tyler Luthringer, a specialist in shoulders, elbows, and upper extremities at CONA, shares his unique connection with patients suffering from shoulder dislocations. With a history of multiple shoulder surgeries stemming from his days as a ski racer, Dr. Luthringer offers a personal perspective on the challenges and treatments of shoulder instability. In this video, he breaks down why the shoulder joint is prone to dislocations, emphasizing the role of both static and dynamic stabilizers in maintaining shoulder stability.
Dr. Luthringer highlights that most shoulder dislocations are anterior, and the risks of not seeking early treatment, especially after the first dislocation. Whether you're an athlete or experiencing shoulder pain, Dr. Luthringer's insights can guide you through understanding shoulder dislocations and the importance of early intervention to prevent further injury.
