A member asked:
Can muscle spasm in upper back/neck cause a temporary spinal curvature? will the curve straighten out once the spasm stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi Charles That is a great question. Depending on the degree of the musculoskeletal spasm, there certainly can be a curvature that develops. There are many ways to alleviate a spasm. Some alleviators are rest, stretches, heat, anti-inflammatory medication, and muscle relaxant medication.
