Dr. Lin Yunfei
Soft tissue injuries in the lumbosacral region typically require approximately three weeks for near-complete recovery. In more severe cases, recovery may take longer—around four weeks. Patients should rest in bed as much as possible and avoid prolonged sitting, which may exacerbate pain and impede recovery. In daily life, patients are advised to consume light, easily digestible foods.
