A member asked:
What can be done for muscle spasms in my back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Muscle spasm is usually secondary to something else. For instance a disc herniation can cause muscle spasm. Treating the spasm is ok but is only treating the symptom not the cause. See a doctor who specialized in the treatment of spine conditions.
