Duration of a torn muscle fiber on the back
The duration of a torn muscle fibre in the back is individual for each patient and depends largely on the severity of the injury. The more fibers are affected by the torn muscle fiber, the longer the healing process takes. In general, however, it can be said that every torn muscle fiber, whether in the back or calf, heals within a few weeks.Therefore also the recommendation applies that concerning should pause for approximately three to six weeks with sport. Afterwards, the patient should be tested again slowly to see whether it is possible to strain the back without pain.
