What ‘s Your Back Muscle Spasm Telling You?

Do you experience a back muscle spasm? When was the last time you experience it? What did you do to treat the spasm?

If you experience a back muscle spasm, it is important that you stop and listen to your body. It’s either your body is telling you not to do a certain activity ever again or it is warning you over a serious underlying issue with your spine that needs to be checked by a doctor or a spine specialist.

2 Common Causes of Back Muscle Spasms

In order for you to figure out what your back muscle spasm is telling you, you need to determine the case of your spasm. There are two main reasons why lower back muscle spasm occur:

1. Your muscle is trying to protect themselves from muscle strain

A back spasm can occur after any type of strain or entry to your soft tissues or the muscles, tendons and ligaments in your spine. Thankfully, back muscle spasms calm cause by muscle strain will typically calm down in about a week.

2. The muscles may spasm in response to an underlying anatomical problem

If your back spasm doesn’t get any better in one or two weeks or if the spasm flares up periodically in the same area of your back, you may have an underlying anatomical problem. Examples of underlying issues that can cause your back to spasm include:

• facet joint osteoarthritis
• degenerative disc disease
• spinal stenosis

If you have an underlying anatomical problem, your muscle may react to the pain and information by spasming. In this case, it is a good idea to seek medical attention to both treat your acute pain and to address to underlying cause of your symptoms.

Experiencing a back muscle spasm is really a hassle to your daily life. That is why, it is not a good idea to just ignore it. It has to be given attention before it can get any worse.
