Why do back injuries take longer to heal compared to other muscular injuries?

275 views

So a couple of weeks ago I pulled a muscle in my back doing Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu and took two weeks off and then I went for a run and immediately seized up.

I went to the Dr and they said that I’ll have to rest 4-6 weeks. Why is it so long compared to other muscles which get better in 2 weeks?

They don’t necessarily take longer. Back injury might take a long time to heal or it might heal quickly. Other muscle injuries can take much longer than 2 weeks to heal.

Something made your doctor estimate this particular injury will take 4-6 weeks to heal.
