A dislocated shoulder blade is one of the most common dislocated joint injuries to the body. Symptoms of a dislocation include acute, severe pain, numbness, tingling and limited range of motion. The arm may visually look out of proper alignment.

A shoulder dislocation is a painful injury that can result from playing competitive sports, an automobile accident, a fall or a collision. Depending on the degree of your dislocation, there are physical therapy exercises to aid in your recovery.

Also commonly known as your collarbone, your clavicle is the bone that rests across your shoulder and connects to the top of your arm bone and shoulder blade.

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the body’s most flexible joint is the shoulder joint—making it prone to dislocations. When a shoulder is dislocated the upper arm bone pops out of the socket located in the shoulder blade, explains MayoClinic.com.
