How can i effectively treat my back spasms? it's been 12 hours now and i'm unable to get any relief. i've been unable to sleep because it's impossible

Spasm: Lay flat on your back with your knees bent - this is a position that allows the muscles to let go. Put a pillow under your knees (sometimes 2) and see if it will just let go.

Try ice: And flex knees up to chest. This will relax the back muscles.
