Fractures And Dislocations Treatment & Relief Ireland
Fracture And Dislocation Rehabilitation In Dublin Ireland
At Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy we understand how frustrating and painful recurrent dislocations can be or how limiting recovering from a fracture can be. That is why we provide a range of treatments to help your recovery from a dislocation or fracture.
Fractures and dislocations can be caused by a variety of activities, most often falls or sports injuries. We offer physiotherapy rehabilitation after a fracture or dislocation, along with advice on injury prevention.
We understand that recovery can take time so our therapists work with you to get back to your activities of choice.

What Causes Pain After A Dislocation?
Pain can be immense following a dislocation. The most common joints to become dislocated are the shoulder, fingers, hip, elbow, and acromion-clavicular joint. Pain following a dislocation is often caused by muscle spasms, ligamentous tears, or nerve compression.
If you think you have a fracture or dislocation, seek urgent medical care (A&E) first. We provide rehabilitation once it has been medically assessed and treated.
Why Do I Keep Dislocating My Shoulder?
Recurrent dislocations occur because the joint has lost its stability and the ligaments and muscles surrounding it no longer provide sufficient support. This is problematic because when a joint keeps dislocating, it can cause long-term symptoms, like pain, weakness, the cognition that you have “a bad shoulder or hip” or a clicking sound with movement.
Physiotherapy aims to improve the stability of the joint and strengthen the muscles around it.
Physical Therapy Rehabilitation After A Dislocation
Physical therapy generally begins as soon as possible or as soon as the sling may be removed. After the immobilization period, physical therapy rehabilitation usually includes advice, education, and an exercise-based regimen (typically focusing on shoulder stability, coordination, and strength) aimed at restoring normal shoulder function.
During your rehabilitation programme, your physiotherapist may use hands-on therapy such as massage and joint mobilisation, and an individually designed exercise programme to restore stability, coordination, and strength.
The main aim of physiotherapy is to restore a stable, well-functioning shoulder.
Physical Therapy Rehabilitation After A Fracture
Physiotherapy after a fracture starts when your medical team says it is appropriate, which depends on the fracture and how it has been treated.
For more information about our Treatments & Relief or to book your consultation, call us at (01) 575 2623 or visit our contact page.
During your physiotherapy programme, your physiotherapist may use hands-on therapy such as massage and joint mobilisation, and an exercise programme to restore strength, coordination, and endurance.
Your physiotherapist can also discuss ways to manage pain at home, such as heat, and give advice on setting up your environment (for example, if you need a raised toilet seat).
Your programme will be tailored to your specific injury, level of function and condition.
Call us today to book your appointment with our physiotherapist.
Laser Therapy After A Fracture Or Dislocation
Laser therapy may be used alongside rehabilitation after a fracture or dislocation. The evidence for it after fractures is limited, and results vary.
Your physiotherapist can prescribe exercises and give advice on self-massage techniques such as foam rolling.
