Therapy and ?meds?: Depending on the severity of injury, healing may take weeks to months. Some unfortunately may suffer chronic back problem after significant injury. Best is get an eval by your doc, possible need for medications and likely therapy. Proper therapy can help get your back back in shape faster as well as teaching you ways to prevent further injury etc...So, don't give up too early. Good luck.
