Acromioclavicular Joint Injury (self-management)

You have sustained an injury to your Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ). This is the joint between the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) and the far end of the collar bone (clavicle). This normally takes between 3-6 weeks to heal, but soft tissue injuries can persist for up to 3 months.
