How to treat a pulled muscle in my back?
for the first two days, ice the pulled muscle for 10 minutes, 3 times a day. Maintain normal ADL (activities of daily living). Don’t “favor” the pulled muscle. Also, don’t further strain the muscle by doing strenuous activities. After a week, a massage therapist can help you by working on the pulled muscle. If the pulled muscle is hot or swollen, see a doctor or chiropractor, to be sure that it’s just a strain and you haven’t damaged the ligaments that hold the muscle to bone.
