dear thanks for choosing health care magic.See when once your shoulder dislocates you should not do some movements for minimum 6 weeks.Depending the dislocation your doctor will put some restriction in movements.Better you be in contact with your doctor.Repeated sprain to damaged muscles will be lead to dislocation again so be careful.

thank you for your question.
shoulder dislocation needs plenty of rest,several weeks even much more.don't raise your arm above 70 degree.sometimes avoiding combing is necessary.thereafter you need rehabilitating excercise ranging from gentle muscle tonning excercise to weight trainning.This help you preserving range of motion,strengthening muscle around the joint and preventing further dislocation.
