Valium: In the short run Vailum can help with skeletal muscle spasm and anxiety. Valium is addicting and can cause depression. Physical therapy, massage therapy, other agents ( including applied heat and cold) can help. Evaluation by a chiropractor or physical therapist or physician is usually warranted to diagnosis and manage chronic back problems.
