AC Joint Dislocation
AcromioClavicular Joint (AC joint), is one of the immobile joints in the body, although it has minimal movements, it is so little, that can’t be visible. This joint is stabilized by several ligaments, and by direct, or indirect trauma to the shoulder, they can be disrupted. It can be demonstrated by pain and bulging over the lateral end of the clavicle. There are three major types of dislocations for treatment planning. In cases, which have full disruption of all ligaments, surgery is the treatment of choice, but in mild, and moderate, partial ligamentous rupture, conservative treatment, comes first. Immobilization, in a figure of 8 bandages, and ice therapy, are the first steps, after 3 to 6 weeks, passive, and active assisted movements shall begin. If there is a neglected dislocation, there is only one way to restore the joint, and decrease the pain: Osteopathy. With osteopathy techniques, especially, before shaping the OA, the problem can be solved. In the presence of osteoarthritis, Osteopathy technics, help to have more comfortable shoulder motions, and less pain. Osteopathy is the most effective and available treatment for chronic pains.
