You will know exactly what's wrong with your shoulder and how it can be treated.
Based on your diagnosis we'll design a treatment programme just for you.
We aim to get you back to being active, enjoying life, and not dislocating your shoulder again.
In many cases dislocated shoulders can be accurately diagnosed and treated by a physio. Our experienced team can see you promptly (Generally within a few days) diagnose your injury, and set in place a rehabilitation programme to get you back to injury free.
In some cases, dislocated shoulders can require a co-ordinated approach to treatment, which is where we can bring in our sport and exercise physicians, surgeons and radiology partners.
In some cases, shoulder injuries do require surgery, whether that’s a minor procedure or major surgery. Luckily, we have strong relationships with a number of leading surgeons.

Are you experiencing recurrent or partial dislocations in your shoulder? This is a common issue that can be quite frustrating and may cause you to lose confidence in your shoulder. In some cases, it can even force people to give up their favourite sport. If you have been managing the condition by popping your shoulder back in place and taking painkillers, we have good news for you.
Our effective treatment can reduce the likelihood of future dislocations. Doesn’t that sound great?
In many cases, a dislocated shoulder qualifies for an integrated care pathway (sometimes referred to as Careway), meaning your treatment (including all physiotherapy, surgery, Sport and Exercise Physician consultations and radiology scans) will be completely covered by ACC.
Do I qualify?
All patients must first be diagnosed and assessed before being placed on the integrated pathway. Generally speaking, however, if you have suffered a dislocated shoulder, you have a good chance of qualifying.
