6. Preventing dislocation of the joints is a function of the ligaments.
The ligaments are connected by a tough elastic band, which prevent your joints from becoming dislocated. When an injury occurs or you fall, your joints can become dislocated. When they become dislocated, health professional, such as a chiropractor has to put the joint back into place.
This can be painful and may have to be done more than one time because since there has been an injury to the ligament the joint may continue to become dislocated. After a while, the chiropractor may suggest surgery to fix the ligament, so that the joint is able to stay in place. After surgery, you will have to walk to help in the healing process.
It will be painful, but with pain medication, you should be able to manage it. A dislocation of a joint is painful. For instance, in the knee, there may be a tingling sensation in the back of the knee.
