Dr. Brian Cole provides an overview of shoulder instability and the various treatments used to restore stability in the shoulder.
- Shoulder instability usually occurs when the lining of the shoulder joint (the capsule), ligaments or labrum become stretched, torn or detached, allowing the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head) to move either completely or partially out of the socket.
- Individuals with shoulder instability usually feel pain when the shoulder gives way.
