Shoulder Separation
Shoulder Supports
A shoulder separation is an injury to the ligaments that hold the clavicle (collarbone) to the shoulder blade. A mild separated shoulder might result in a stretch; however, the ligament may be torn in severe injuries. Symptoms and signs of a separated shoulder may include shoulder pain, swelling or bruising, and limited shoulder movement. In severe conditions, you may also feel bumpiness and weakness in the shoulder and arm.
