My brother got muscle tear near upper back during weight lifting. He is taking hot bags and ultrasonic therapy from physiotherapist since past 1 week to cure it but it seems as if the torn muscle is not cured and Is there any need of MRI? If not how long it will take to get cured ? Is there any medicine to cure it. ?
