How Do You Wrap A Dislocated Shoulder?
Dislocating a shoulder is extremely painful. The quicker you respond and treat your injury, the quicker your pain will subside and your shoulder will heal. Knowing how to wrap a dislocated shoulder is crucial if you are active in sports. If you have had previous shoulder dislocations, it is bound to happen again. Perhaps this is why it’s so important to learn how to wrap your own shoulder. Step 1 Make a sling from your triangular bandage.
