What Is Shoulder Instability?
Shoulder instability can be caused by traumatic dislocation, repetitive overhead movements, or congenital laxity. Symptoms include:
- Recurrent dislocations or subluxations (partial dislocations)
- Pain or discomfort during movement
- Weakness or limited range of motion
- Fear of shoulder giving way during activity
Treatment focuses on:
- Strengthening shoulder stabilizers
- Restoring joint mobility and function
- Correcting biomechanics and movement patterns
- Preventing future dislocations and chronic instability
Early evaluation and treatment reduce the risk of recurrent injuries and long-term joint damage.
