A subluxation of the shoulder joint is a condition where when a strong or strong load is applied to the corresponding area of the body, the joints are separated, but they still have points of contact. Despite this, the normal operation of the joint is still violated. This term was introduced to refer to incomplete dislocation. The condition is accompanied by unpleasant sensations and sometimes soft clicks in the area of damage.

Sometimes, after a latent subluxation, you can hear soft clicks in the shoulder joint. Do not worry right away. In most cases, this is due to a violation of the full mobility of this area.
