Subluxations versus Dislocations with Dr. Linda Bluestein
Dr. Linda Bluestein explains the differences between subluxations and dislocations, particularly in the context of hypermobility and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). She clarifies that a dislocation occurs when a joint's bones completely lose contact, as opposed to a subluxation, where the bones are misaligned but still partially in contact. This distinction is important for understanding joint issues in hEDS, where subluxations are more common than actual dislocations. Noises from joints, often called cavitations, are usually normal and not indicative of either condition.
