Will a dislocated shoulder recover on its own without treatment?

Shoulder dislocation is dislocation of shoulder joint. Generally speaking, shoulder dislocation will not recover by itself without treatment, and it needs to take other treatments, medication and surgery. 1. Other treatments: after shoulder dislocation occurs, patients need to take manipulation to reset the shoulder in acute period, for example, rotary method and foot stirrup method, etc., and then recuperate by fixing the shoulder with elastic band or triangular scarf, which is conducive to the recovery of damaged joint capsule, ligaments and other tissues. 2. Drug treatment: for patients with mild to moderate pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and celecoxib should be applied according to the doctor’s prescription; for patients with moderate to severe pain, non-opioid central analgesic drugs such as tramadol and flupirtine should be applied according to the doctor’s prescription. 3. Surgery: For patients with poor results of manipulation and serious complications, incision can be used for repositioning. Some patients may need to be repaired by overlapping suture of subscapularis muscle and joint capsule, or external displacement of subscapularis stop point. People with shoulder dislocations should go to the hospital promptly for treatment and generally have a good prognosis.
