Shoulder dislocation requires quick medical attention so that the dislocation can be assessed and joint space is reduced.
Shoulder dislocation causes damage to soft tissues, 
Acupuncture helps in reducing the inflammation and pain caused due to dislocation and it plays an important role in promoting soft tissue healing.
Acupuncture anaesthetic points, Local and general body points together help to heal the dislocated shoulder. Electro Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Acupressure and Seed therapy combined with medical aid helps to quicken the total recovery time.

By closed manipulation. If recurrent dislocation( more than thrice in a year) get an MRI done and consult an orthopedist. You may need surgery for shoulder replacement.

First reduce the shoulder back to normal position. Give it some rest. 

Most of the times the dislocation will be reccurent and shoulder disloactes/subluxates in abduction external rotation position. 

MRI will be the ideal investigation to asses labral tear and CT scan will be needed to look at glenoid index

Arthroscopy Bankart repair +/- Remplissage is a very successful procedure and it's a minimally invasive key hole surgery

Both legs Foot drop problem since 2 years. I am very upset for this. So please tell me can you treat this? Please let me know.

Male | 26

You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.

I’m 50 yrs old and have been suffering with planters fasciitis for years. It started after working at Home Depot. I seen an orthopedic back in 2002 ish, got an injection and was fine. I then left HD and came back yrs later. Now it’s back and I believe I’m also dealing with Achilles tendonitis. My mother who drove a bus for 30 yrs has also dealt with this for a very long time. She can barely walk and I’ve started limping. I don’t want this to slow me down but the doctors here in Wichita Falls are not much help and my mother hasn’t been able to get any relief in California or now in Arizona. My question is is there anything we can do. I have 6 kids, 3 of which are still in school. I can’t just slow down. And I hate seeing how miserably mother is. We are both taking Duloxitine, which helps sometimes. Besides surgery is there anything we can do?

Female | 50

Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can be quite bothersome, but there are several ways to ease the pain. Try stretching exercises for your calves and feet, wear supportive shoes, use orthotic inserts, apply ice to reduce inflammation, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also important to avoid activities that make the pain worse.

My left and is painful.i want to know the reason?

Male | 25

Left arm pain can have various sources, including injury or oversuse and underlying diseases like cardiovascular disorders or arthritis. You should rather seek a medial opinion of an orthopedist to diagnose the source and take care for your pain.

you should visit an orthopedic specialist for your knee and back pain. For the moment, pain-relieving methods such as gentle exercises might bring some relief including stretching and hot/cold therapy.

Hi I need some advice on having pins removed from my kneecap.

Male | 32

Before having pins removed from your kneecap, consult your orthopedic surgeon to discuss the procedure and timing. Prepare according to their instructions. The removal is usually done under local anesthesia, involving a small incision to remove the pins. Expect some discomfort and swelling post surgery.
