When Your Shoulder Keeps Slipping Out, It’s Time to Fix the Root Cause

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body—but that flexibility can sometimes come at a cost. A shoulder dislocation happens when the upper arm bone pops out of the socket. In some people, especially after an initial injury, this can become a repeated problem known as recurrent shoulder dislocation.

This condition can seriously affect your daily life, causing constant fear of movement, repeated pain, and even long-term joint damage if left untreated.

What Causes Repeated Dislocations?

• First-time shoulder dislocation that weakens the joint

• Sports injuries (especially contact sports)

• Loose ligaments or joint instability

• Shallow or damaged shoulder socket

• Genetic conditions like hypermobility

Common Symptoms:

• Shoulder repeatedly “slips out” during simple movements

• Pain and weakness after dislocation

• Clicking or catching sensation

• Fear of using the arm in certain positions

• Visible deformity during dislocation

Advanced Treatment by an Expert

Dr. Dineysh Dhytadak is highly experienced in shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgery to repair torn ligaments and tighten the joint capsule. This advanced procedure helps:

• Restore shoulder stability

• Prevent future dislocations

• Relieve pain and discomfort

• Speed up recovery with minimal scarring

In mild cases, physical therapy and strengthening exercises may be advised. But in most recurrent cases, surgery is the best way to achieve long-term relief and prevent further damage.
