Asked by Female, 38 ยท 8 days ago

A shoulder injury where the collarbone end moves abnormally is often due to ligament damage around the joint, commonly called an Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation, and treatment depends on the severity. Mild to moderate cases are usually managed without surgery using a sling for support, rest, ice packs, pain relief (like paracetamol), and gradual physiotherapy to restore movement and strength, while more severe injuries with significant displacement or persistent pain may require surgical repair to stabilise the joint. Avoid heavy lifting and overhead activities during recovery, and follow regular medical check-ups to monitor healing and regain full function safely.
