I was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder. Can a chiropractor help with a dislocated shoulder?

Hopefully the physician that diagnosed the dislocated shoulder put the shoulder back in place. Now you need therapy to help strengthen the capsule and surrounding rotator cuff muscles so that it does not dislocate again. Chiropractic and/or Physical Therapy can help with that.
Yes, a chiropractor may help a dislocated shoulder. We work with joints. The shoulder is a joint that can be misaligned, and it can gently be put back in place. It may take a little time for the surrounding tissue to become un- inflamed, which using ice right away could help. Again, yes the chiropractor may help a dislocated shoulder.
A dislocated shoulder is handled by the orthopedic community.
I can. But if it is completely out I would recommend going to the ER immediately.
Yes, one that's a chiropractic orthopedist. Your best bet is see an orthopedic medical doctor.
