Shoulder dislocations aren’t just for elite athletes.
Getting the shoulder back in place quickly is key, and the right treatment plan depends on your age, activity level, and risk of future injury.
In many younger, active patients, surgery may help reduce the chances of it happening again!

Why do your hands feel stiff or numb while you sleep? 🌙
Sleeping with your wrists bent or in one position for too long can irritate the nerves, especially if you’re developing carpal tunnel. Fluid shifts at night can also make symptoms feel worse.
If you’re waking up with numb or tingling hands, it may be time to get it checked. ✋

Carpal tunnel happens when there’s pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. ✋
Many people notice symptoms at night or in the morning, like numbness, tingling, or even dropping objects because the hand feels weak. ☕️
If this sounds familiar, it may be time to get your wrist checked.

Hearing a clicking or snapping in your shoulder with pain or weakness? That could be a sign of an underlying issue.
Early evaluation can help catch problems like tendon injuries or labral tears, and many cases can be treated without surgery, starting with proper diagnosis and therapy.
