9Causes of A Separated Shoulder
Sport Injuries
A fall directly on the shoulder or a blow to the point of the shoulder is the most common cause of a shoulder separation. Those people who are physically active or participate in contact sports can be at a higher risk. These include football, wrestling, skiing, gymnastic, and hockey. They involve frequent falls and can make your shoulder joint more prone to this type of injury. When you have a collision with another player or fall on the ground, the ligaments holding the collarbone to the shoulder blade can be torn or stretched.[9]
