How to Pop Back in a Dislocated Shoulder
Intro: How to Pop Back in a Dislocated Shoulder
ok - when i was a kid, my left shoulder used to dislocate all the time. i made this clip for a friend that spent over 6 hours at the hospital waiting for someone to pop it back in. since i had the clip i decided to put it here in case it could help anyone else...
You can do it alone, it doesnt involve running in walls or anything violent, you just need to be able to stand up and be on a planet that has a sufficient gravity field.
DISCLAMER - i'm not a doctor. this method worked every time for me, but maybe it wont for everyone so do it at your own risk.

Thank you so much for posting this. At the very worst, it looks as if it could do no harm. I have had two ungodly brutal experiences at the ER: 3 hours to relocate the shoulder, all the while in terrible pain with my blood pressure raging sky high (200/100). Genuinely life threatening. Don't know if I'll be able to do this technique, but will definitely try. Again, thanks!

Amazing. My shoulder was severely dislocated 12 weeks ago. It has since popped most of the way back in. I still have pain when fully stretching. I popped it back in 100% with this video! No more pain! Seriously, I signed up just to thank you.

Ask your doctor for any such maneuvers. There are a couple "standard" ones, saddly enough there are no such things as "standard shoulders". Every one has his own and there are a lot of reasons WHY the shoudler pops out.
Here at Instructables we should be confortable with the concept that mechanical failuers of machines, engines or robots may occur for different reasons and there is no single way to fix them all. Same thing for shoulders popping out: find YOUR reason, YOUR way of it popping out and so the correct thing for your putting it back.
Have a doctor teaching you how to do it properly.
A frong manuver could get you an incredible ammount of trouble: should a nerve, muscle or even worst a tiny blood vessel get piched in the joint you might be facing incredible amount of pain or loos the sense of touch (nerves) or even have blod stopping and risk gangrene.

My shoulder used to dislocate (anterior dislocation) 2 or 3 times a week for over 10 years, and every time i replaced it using this method. it was prone to dislocate whenever my elbow was higher than the shoulder, or when throwing things.
its evident that if you dislocate a shoulder after a car crash or some other traumatic incident, then dont attempt this as there might be other issues.
like i said, it worked for me and if you're inclined to try to put it back yourself then this its probably the less damaging or violent way you will find anywhere on the internet.

OTOH, if your shoulder isn't prone to this sort of thing, you probably need to see a Dr anyway, and they tend not to be very receptive unless they see it out. The one time I went to a hospital, my should relocated itself in between the time it was X-rayed and the time the Dr came in to look at it (much faster than 6 hours, BTW.)
