If your shoulder feels loose, slips out of place, or dislocates repeatedly, you may be suffering from shoulder instability — a condition that can limit your ability to work, play sports, or perform daily activities without pain or fear of injury. Whether you’re an athlete facing repeated dislocations or someone with naturally loose joints, Shoulder Instability Surgery in Ghaziabad can restore stability, strength, and confidence in your shoulder.
Dr. Himanshu Gupta, one of the leading orthopedic surgeons in Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR, offers advanced, minimally invasive shoulder arthroscopy to treat all forms of shoulder instability. His approach combines precise diagnosis, expert surgical skills, and personalized rehabilitation to ensure long-lasting results.
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body — and that mobility comes at a cost. Stability depends on a delicate balance of muscles, ligaments, and cartilage. When any of these supporting structures are damaged or overly loose, the upper arm bone (humerus) can slip out of the socket (glenoid), leading to instability.
Sharp pain or visible swelling develops shortly after a fall, heavy lift, or sudden arm movement.
You may feel or hear a click/popping sound when moving the arm, especially during overhead activities.
Your shoulder may feel loose, like it could slip out of place, or be unable to bear weight during lifting or rotation.
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
After physical examination, Dr. Gupta may order:
If non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, bracing, and medication do not provide adequate pain relief or restore normal function, surgical intervention may be recommended. This is often considered when symptoms persist, mobility is significantly limited, or the injury affects daily activities and quality of life.
Not every shoulder instability case requires surgery. At Amicare, we offer non-surgical treatment for mild instability, shoulder dislocations, or patients with lower activity demands. Dr. Gupta creates personalized plans, including:
Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizer muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance joint control.
PRP Therapy: Injections using your blood’s healing factors to repair microtears in ligaments and reduce inflammation.
Bracing or Taping: Special shoulder braces or kinesiology taping for stability during sports or overhead activities.

The table below compares surgical and non-surgical treatments for shoulder instability to help patients and athletes choose the best path to recovery. Consult Dr. Himanshu Gupta for a personalized treatment plan.
| Treatment Option | How It Works | Ideal Candidates | Recovery Time | Key Benefits | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder Stabilization Surgery | Repairs or tightens loose ligaments using minimally invasive arthroscopic or open surgical techniques. | Athletes, active individuals with frequent dislocations or high instability during sports/overhead activities. | 4–6 months | Restores full shoulder stability. Reduces risk of recurrent dislocations. Supports long-term joint health. | Surgical risks (low infection rate, graft failure). Requires strict rehabilitation. |
| Physical Therapy | Targeted exercises to strengthen stabilizing muscles and improve motion control. | Patients with mild instability, partial dislocations, or low activity demands. | 2–4 months | Builds muscle support. Improves control and stability without surgery. | May not provide enough stability for high-demand activities. Risk of recurrence. |
| PRP Therapy | Injections of platelet-rich plasma to enhance tissue healing. | Patients with ligament microtears or post-injury inflammation. | 1–3 months | Promotes natural healing. Minimally invasive. Can be combined with rehab. | Limited data for severe instability. Less effective for major ligament damage. |
| Bracing or Taping | Uses braces or kinesiology tape to limit excessive movement. | Temporary support for mild instability during sports or rehab. | Varies (weeks to months) | Easy to use. Non-invasive. Provides immediate support. | Does not restore full stability. Not suitable for frequent or severe dislocations. |
Recovery from shoulder instability surgery typically takes 6–9 months, depending on the severity of the instability, surgical technique, and your rehabilitation progress. Dr. Gupta’s specialized rehab approach helps patients restore shoulder stability, strength, and range of motion safely.

In most cases, yes — especially when followed by proper rehabilitation.
For most instability cases, arthroscopy offers quicker recovery and less discomfort. Open surgery is best for severe bone loss or revision cases.
Yes. With adherence to your rehab plan, many athletes return to full performance within 6–9 months.
It means the shoulder is unstable in multiple directions, requiring specialized surgical tightening techniques.
