What is Shoulder Pain?

You’ve just finished helping your best friend move and are now experiencing acute shoulder pain.

All these factors and more may contribute to your need for shoulder pain treatment. Redefine Healthcare’s pain management doctor works hard to treat the underlying cause of your pain so you can get back to doing what you enjoy.
