Any type of partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation. This can occur in a joint and even in an organ in the body. It is considered as structural displacement. A simple x-ray can diagnosis when a subluxation occurs. In the case listed above, it was in the shoulder. Symptoms of subluxation are visible swelling, pain in the area, unable to move the joint, and/or numbness and tingling. The subluxation may also be visible by a deformity in the shoulder area. Many times this can be fixed by using a splint, resting and using ice on the dislocated area, and elevating the arm. In some cases, surgery may be necessary, especially, if it occurs in the back.
