Ever felt your shoulder “slip” or pop out of place… then go back in? 👀

You could be dealing with a shoulder subluxation—a common injury that’s often mistaken for a full dislocation.

👉 Knowing the difference matters—and so does getting the right treatment early.

Common symptoms to watch for:
✔ Shoulder pain or tenderness
✔ Clicking, popping, or “giving way”
✔ Weakness, numbness, or tingling
✔ Limited range of motion

Whether it’s from sports, overuse, or a fall, ignoring it can lead to chronic instability or repeat injuries.

At EmergeOrtho—Foothills Region, our specialists break down:
✅ Subluxation vs. dislocation
✅ What causes it
✅ Best treatment options (PT, bracing, and more)
✅ What to avoid during recovery
