What's good for lower back spasms and pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat, otcs, etc: Simple low back pain and spasms can often be treated with over the counter advil or aleve (naproxen). Heating pads, hot showers, massage and gentle stretching exercises also help. If these don't do it, your doctor can prescribe a stronger pain medicine and/or a muscle relaxant.
