					AC joint dislocation - is taping an option?
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Hi folks, new member seeking advice and guidance.
I sustained a severe AC joint separation last week in a fall from a bicycle. Been told to rest it in a sling for 4 weeks, and that surgery is unlikely.
Have an appointment to see local physio next week, but a sporty friend suggested googling 'joint taping'. Do any of the practitioners here have an opinion on taping during the healing process, or is it best kept for support post-repair ?
