How The Shoulder Dislocation Should Be Treated?
My daughter who is 21 yrs has dislocated her shoulder whilst playing a game on a retreat. Fortunately a doctor who was present put the joint back into place. My concern is that my daughter has about 40% curvature of the spine. Should she continue the retreat or seek further medical assistance to ensure there is no damage to her spine?

Hi,
Thanks for contacting. I suggest your daughter should start doing shoulder exercises, like full range of motion and light Resistance training as shoulder dislocation in younger age should be taken seriously as it might become recurrent shoulder dislocation. Avoid sleeping on sides do emphasis on straight sleeping, and do some warm up also before playing, for spine ask your daughter not to carry heavy back packs, and do back strengthening exercises.
Core muscles strengthening exercises, cat and camel, and take look over her diet at this age I will suggest you to give her calcium, protein rich diet for bones and muscle development. With enough carbohydrates and water intake with electrolyte to replenish her daily requirement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
