What is a Shoulder Dislocation?
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint. A Shoulder Dislocation is when the ball comes out of the socket. In other words, when your arm bone pulls away from the bony shoulder area it usually sites in. A shoulder can dislocate for a variety of reasons. But as a general concept, a shoulder will only come out of its socket when either A. Too much torque is applied to the joint and the ball is forced from the socket. B. A persons ligaments are too lax or loose, reducing the amount of force necessary to remove the ball from the socket.
