Dislocation of the Elbow

What you need to know:

There are no alternative treatments for this condition, but some natural supplements and additions to your child’s diet can help reduce bruising and make the joint more mobile:
  • Homoeopaths recommend arnica (as pills or creams) for bruising

  • Gentle massage, maybe with Aromatherapy oils, may help relieve the pain

  • Treatment by a registered osteopath will help restore mobility

  • Eating plenty of pineapple or pineapple juice will give you a rich source of healing enzymes

  • Taking the supplement bromelain will help disperse any internal bruising
