How long to heal a strained muscle?

I went to the doctor like 3 weeks ago because my back hurt.. He said it was a muscle strain [which doesnt make sense, I hadnt done any heavy lifting or anything] and gave me muscle relaxer and vicodin.he said it’d be better in a week. It wasnt better, so I went back and saw another doctor, who said the same thing, and prescribed more muscle relaxer. Its now nearly four weeks later and my back still hurts the same,and im all out of my medication.

Is it normal for a back strain to take this long to heal? Or should I see a chiroractor or something?
