Bracing is sometimes considered for patients who sustain a shoulder dislocation. A brace is most commonly used for an in-season athlete who sustains a shoulder dislocation. In this scenario, surgery for treatment of the shoulder dislocation would be season-ending. Therefore, a brace may be used to help prevent a shoulder dislocation.

Generally made of neoprene, shoulder support braces are worn around the upper arm and shoulder, and aid to increase warmth and blood flow to the shoulder. They are particularly useful for those who have had strains in the shoulder area, keeping the area supported and protected while it heals.

The braces can help to prevent the shoulder from being placed into a position in which a dislocation is possible. While they cannot prevent all shoulder dislocations, these braces can reduce the overall incidence of shoulder dislocations in athletes.
