Can shoulder dislocation be treated without surgery What are the best non-surgical options for fixing a dislocated shoulder I'm really worried about needing surgery and want to know if there's another way to heal properly
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, shoulder dislocations can often be treated without surgery, especially for the first time or less severe dislocations. The most common non-surgical approach is closed reduction, where a doctor manually repositions the shoulder joint back into place. Following this, immobilization with a sling and physical therapy are key to recovery

I recently had an accident on June 23rd, and they put a plaster on my injury that same day. I'm trying to figure out how many days of bed rest I might need before I can start going back to the office. Can you give me some guidance on when it might be safe to return to work?
Bed rest is advised for 6 weeks to the patient.

My knee cap has gotten really thin and I'm on medication right now but I'm worried about surgery since I heard replacements only last around 10 years - is it worth going through with it or should I try other options first
hope you are not in a lot of pain. What do you mean by saying that your knee cap is thin ? Do you mean that the cartilage is worn out ? You might have chondromalacia patella. Please consult an Orthopaedic surgeon
