Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, an injury, or seeking to enhance your athletic performance, Dr. Burns offers personalized solutions to help you achieve your health and mobility goals.

For those suffering from shoulder arthritis and chronic pain, shoulder replacement surgery can provide significant relief.
