On average, back pain resolves within 3–7 days if it is a mild muscle strain; in the case of a more serious injury, recovery may take 2–6 weeks. The speed of recovery depends on the nature of the injury, physical load, treatment, and individual characteristics of the body. During this period, it is important to ensure rest and, if possible, consult a physician for the treatment of back pain.
