Joint dislocation treatment involves promptly repositioning the displaced bone back into its proper joint alignment, typically through a procedure called reduction, followed by immobilization with a splint or sling to allow healing. In some cases, especially when there is ligament damage or repeated dislocations, surgery may be necessary to repair or stabilize the joint. Pain management and physical therapy are essential components of recovery, helping to restore strength, flexibility, and function. To prevent recurrence, individuals should engage in regular strengthening exercises, avoid activities that strain vulnerable joints, wear protective gear during sports, and address underlying issues such as joint instability or hypermobility. Early medical attention and adherence to rehabilitation protocols significantly reduce the risk of future dislocations.
