A member asked:
Will back muscle spasms get better on there own or should i seek treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually resolves: Back pain and spasms almost always resolve on your own, so it's perfectly reasonable to give it time and try ice/heat, stretches, massage, and NSAIDs (ibuprofen, Aleve). Do see a physician if it's been over 2 - 3 weeks, or if the pain is intractable.
