A member asked:
Have flat back syndrome d/t multi hnps and bulges in thoracic and lumbar. is this a likely cause of severe spasms in mid & upper back and flanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely.: While muscles and connective tissues in the back are the most common cause of the back spasms you describe, your multiple HNP's and disk bulges could be an underlying cause. Talk to your treating doctor about a referral for physical therapy. Regardless of the underlying cause, an appropriate PT program can work wonders for people who suffer from back problems.
