I've pulled my back before and it was probably one of the most painful things ever. There really isn't a quick way to heal. The key thing is rest and rest. You have to let it heal completely or else you'll go back to square one and have to restart the healing all over. Definitely go see your doc and get a good physical therapist. They'll help strengthen the pulled muscle so it won't happen again.

I had to be off the bike for more than a month and even after that I had to take it very easy and mostly rode a cuiser.
