Soft tissues(tendons, ligaments, muscles, etc.) are supposed to heal within 3-4 weeks after the injury. This should be followed by intensive physiotherapy to strengthen the soft tissues injured and make sure normal range of motion has been regained. Then and only then do you return to your previous sport. This should take about 6 months to a year to ensure full recovery. This applies to your shoulder. The chances of recurrent shoulder dislocation will be high if you return to volleyball early without achieving the goals of physiotherapy.

When I dislocated my shoulder, I was told to wait about four weeks. However, I ended up dislocating it again and ultimately had surgery to repair it. Just wait until you are comfortable with lifting your arm up and behind your head.

each and every time it dislocates it stretches & tears the ligaments & tendons. that's practically impossible to tighten them up with out surgical treatment. a while some actual scientific care will help some, yet interior the top, surgical treatment is pronounced.
