Recovery Timeline & Self-Care
Most acute back pain from muscle strain improves within 1-2 weeks with proper treatment and rest. Apply ice for the first 48 hours, then alternate with heat. Avoid prolonged bed rest—gentle movement and stretching promote healing. Take medications as prescribed and gradually resume normal activities. Return if pain worsens, numbness develops, or symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks.
