A member asked:
Can deep heat or perskindol work for rotator cuff injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No harm: No harm in trying. More traditional deep heating techniques include ultrasound and can be soothing for any muscle injury. Soothing however does not mean it is aiding in the actual healing...Only making it more comfortable so that your body can potentially mend itself. If not improving then see your doc.
