Depends on cause: Many times muscle spasms can be the reason where ice followed by heat with stretching can help. Anti-inflammatory meds, muscle relaxants can help. Physical therapy will frequently be of assistance. He needs to get an examination to make sure there isn't something else worse going on since disc issues can also be underlying trigger.
