There are many variables to that crystal ball prediction. They include age, level of fitness and flexibility, mechanism of injury, presence of prior injury(s) and what specifically is/are the injuries to the back and how severe are the symptoms - as “back sports injury” is pretty much useless when considering prognosis. Unfortunately, it often just takes the time your body takes to heal the level injury incurred, and does it requires professional outside assistance in that task.
