Can A Shoulder Sling Help with Shoulder Pain

Can a shoulder sling help with shoulder pain?

 

Shoulder sling applies to the following ranges:

Clinical upper limb fractures, such as shoulder dislocation, elbow dislocation, clavicle fracture, humerus lateral condyle neck fracture, humeral shaft fracture, forearm double fracture, etc. Patients with hand trauma, brachial plexus injury, shoulder or upper arm trauma, shoulder surgery, stroke, hemiplegia and other upper limb diseases need to use shoulder sling to help suspension.

 

Advantage:

Shoulder sling can help patients with upper limb fractures, hand injuries, etc. who need to suspend the forearm to fix the upper limb to maintain a functional position, prevent arm swelling, avoid symptoms such as pain and discomfort, and prevent complications such as forearm slippage and local skin ulcers.

 

The patient can maintain local fixation and stabilize the shoulder by adjusting the length of the shoulder strap. At the same time, the shoulder straps are generally designed with spacers, which follow the principles of biology and human mechanics, relieve local pressure, and better fix the forearm.

 

How to use shoulder sling:

When wearing the product, adjust the length of the shoulder straps according to the length of the upper arm until the upper arm on the injured side is kept flexed at 90°, and the forearm is wrapped around the forearm. In order to help relieve pain when the arm is injured, it is important to confirm the degree of pain in the affected area, adjust the height, and use the shoulder sling to suspend the arm in a position that can relieve pain.

 

Precautions:

After an injury, it is best to use a forearm protector, hang and fix the arm, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
