2-4 days for me
staying off your bocks completely helps lots,
orr.. if you want to heal really really quickly..
jump in a bath with lots and lots of ice, and stay in there for a minute

To help prevent bockers back you should do stretches after bocking. That should minimise the effects of bockers back

NO DON'T DO IT !

The body is so efficient at using circulation to heat cooled areas and to cool hot tissues that localized heating and cooling treatments do not penetrate any deeper than about one centimetre. This is very useful in knee or ankle injuries, for instance, where the damaged structures are often just under the skin. But the low back is a deep ocean of muscle and impossible to heat or cool to any depth. In most low back pain, if there is any inflammation at all it occurs around the vertebral joints, which are the deepest structures in the back: far deeper than either heating or cooling can reach.

Here the full details.

that all depends on wether there is actually inflamation, when I had lower back pain I had inflamation and had to take anti inflamatories (sp) and ice my back every 2hrs. That's what was reccomended by my very excellent physiotherapist......

I like it when poeple use "Deep Heat" and say it helps 
In help you mean when you rub in on your massaging the area and getting the blood flowing.
I sometime need something for inflammation in my ankle, a cold foot bath just numbs the my foot 
But if you say it works for you ....

I sometime need something for infloamation in my ankle, a cold foot bath just numbs the my foot 

Those sentences are really confusing....

My back has been hurting since last weekend 

It's been dodgy since about 15 years ago when I messed it up badly and had to have an operation.

Anti-inflammatories during the day and alcohol in the evening is taking the edge off  (not recommended in your case)

I've recently started trying to bounce high in the air which caused lots of flailing around which set it off. It's annoying because I have a feeling it's going to severely limit how much I can do.

In the past I've found that core strength exercises are very helpful. Yoga and Pilates are good, if you're feeling athletic you could try a regime like this one:
