How long does it usually take for a periosteal injury to heal?

If the condition is mild, recovery usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks after local treatment. If caused by inflammation, healing gradually occurs once the inflammation subsides, typically requiring 2 to 3 weeks. Keep the body warm, especially protecting the injured area from cold and irritation. Local physical therapies such as acupuncture and heat application can be used; applying Guemoshutong plaster externally may also help relieve pain and promote periosteal recovery.
