A member asked:
What exercise can you do to stop a muscle spasm in the lower back and hip area when acute onset occurs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch: Sounds like piriformis syndrome. Hard to describe the stretches. Go on-line and search stretching or physical therapy for piriformis tightness or syndrome. If that doesn't help, seek a medical evaluation.
