External rotation method for shoulder reduction, part 2: by applying gentle pressure to the wrist, the practitioner slowly externally rotates the arm, taking time to allow spasms and contractions to pass; finally, the arm is externally rotated to 90° (i.e., perpendicular to the long axis of the body); shoulder dislocation should reduce after about 5 minutes
