Had my very first back spasm today. Hit the floor that fast with the pain. Never knew it could hurt so much. Watched many videos on back spasms and I have to say yours was one of the best. Thanks so much.
Muscle spasms are no joke. I was so stressed out when it happened to me for the first time a few days ago. I was like " Something as terrible as this sh*** exists?" Now, I'm a little "used to" to it and have learned how to prevent and or manage such panicking moments. Sitting and sleeping in a correct position has largely controlled the frequency of spasms, and heat/cold applications does give me some relief but I think positioning is a most important part in the healing process.
That first 2 minutes of explanation is the best description of the problem I've heard on youtube or in a written article. Very useful , calming me down a bit. Im having an episode right now and lying in bed desperate.
You are amazing!!!!!! Thank you for clearly explaining back spasms and putting my mind at ease. I feel i can run. The confidence your explanation gave is priceless. I've been suffering for the past month.❤️❤️❤️
Hi Merita, glad it has helped you! Once you are out of spasm, you need to take steps to prevent it coming back. You need to strengthen and re-balance your back muscles. You can do this with many programs, including my 6 week back program in the link below. If you do this full 6 week program, and then a simple maintenance program, it will be very unlikely that your back will be able to spasm. Without re-balancing your back muscles, you could spasm any time. Warmest wishes, Coby Muscle rebalancing 6 week program here: www.sootheclinic.com/back-pain-boot-camp
This is the best video on immediate care for back spasm. The instructor seems very empathetic of the condition and the tips she gave worked excellently for me.
Thank you so much! I was alone in my house and I got a lower back spasm while cleaning my fridge. I was hardly able to breathe! I managed to get a couple of ibuprofen and sit down. I took a few breaths and grabbed a cold water bottle and somehow wedged it between me and the chair. Stayed like that for like 30 min until the pain killers started working. I m using the hot and cold pack technique right now as I write this. Thanks again because I was panicking been on my own
I had this problem two weeks ago when I was playing basketball (without proper warm-up). I was in extreme pain the first 5 days, even with pain killers, until I decided to go to the doctor, where I got two injections, one was a pain killer and the other an anti-inflammatory. 30 minutes after the injections and the pain dropped to half. The doctor gave me three medicines to take for the following week, two kinds of pain killers, one every four hours, and one muscle relaxant to take before sleep. The night after the injections and the medicines was the first night I could sleep deeply. Today is the day 7 after the doctor's visit, I am pain free, little bit tension is still there, I think because I didn't do any massage to the muscles. Hope my experience will help you. Much love and stay healthy!
Omg thank you so much currently having back spasms from having a panic attack where I tensed up so much, and now the pain is unbearable so pleased I clicked on this video xx
How great for me to find this video last night after I had finally gotten myself off the floor after an hour of, as you say, terrifying, EXCRUCIATING! spasm. How many videos here are about 'back spasm' and yet none of them really address the critical situation that you so well describe here. It was a great relief for me, being alone through this, to see your clear explanation of what exactly I was going through. Thank you so much for your work and for being 'here'.
Thanks Coby for explaining so clear what to do against the true horrors i experienced last week a whole night long. Even after a week i still feel the fear it comes back. Your video is very clear, i wish i had seen this earlier.
I want to say thank you and God bless you!!! Today I got a really bad back spasm I wasn't really able to move and I had a lot of pain. I didn't have anyone to help me but this video. I am now able to walk and the pain is almost completely gone. Once again thank you!!!
💙💙💙How can another woman thank you whole heartly for this amazing informative advice and compassionate treatment???!!! By sending you HUGE air hugs from New Mexico on how grateful I am by this video! My mind is richer and my heart blessed by people loving people with GOLDEN ADVICE 😘Mona B
Was just changing the laundry when it happened. Couldn’t move, locked in the position I was in for 15 minutes before getting to the floor, crawling through the basement and up the steps. I’ve experienced natural childbirth twice, but if you ask me today, this was more painful, terrifying, don’t think you’ll ever be okay again levels of pain. Wish I saw this two days ago. I am walking, still sleeping on the floor though. Now it feels like I’ve been in a car accident, and all my an muscles are sore as well from compensating. Just reading comments on these videos saved me
This was so nice, when and if you have someone to help you, but for those of us who live alone, we are alone. I try to calm my back down, slowly get up, and get my ice. Sure wish I could have someone rub me gently...I've got Icy hot that I like, but I have a heating pad I use too. It is crazy living with chronic back and nerve pain and never gets better. It is a long journey of enduring every day...some days better than others, but woe when it takes you down again.
Great video. I had lower back spasms after a muscle strain. Its very true about the vicious cycle you mention. The pain causes you to worry and tense up, which causes more pain, and on and on. Breaking that cycle is very hard to do. It's true about the effect mental stress has on your body. Feeling anxious causes muscle tension.

Here we go again, 2nd spasm almost exactly 1 year later. Not as bad as my first though. The hot and cold thing really helped! And the exercises from the other video. Good to know now what to do! Thanks a mil
Thank you so much. I just found this video and it's amazing! I have a family friend who has these. She doesn't know I know because I'm still a teen and she didn't tell me about her condition to not worry me but my mom did tell me and I couldn't find any good videos that would show me what to do if those were to happen. I really wanna be able to help her so thank you so much
Thank you. I’ve had back spasms out of nowhere since getting CRPS over a decade ago, Can you do a video on what to do if you’re alone? So often no one is around and that helpless feeling of not being able to get anything to help yourself is just terrifying. Many thanks 😊
In my case, I've just had my second spasm in almost 2 years. I've gone through online videos but I think this one is really helpful. I took painkillers, applied heat pad, and ice pack alternatively, and applied emulgel. I've started to walk on the second day. Hope this would be over in the next couple of days max. Thank you for taking out time to put up this video.

This is the best advice I have ever seen ... I deal with crippling back spasms for about 4 years now and can't get any answers... I get injections that only last about a month 🙏🙏💝💝
Hi, This will help you stop your back spasms: www.sootheclinic.com/back-pain-boot-camp It's my 6 week exercise program designed to rebalance your back muscles and re-activate core stability, thereby stopping back spasms. Warmest wishes, Coby
Thank you for this video, going to try the hot cold technique! I’m having my first muscle spasm - fortunately it’s not debilitating but it is uncomfortable! Thank you for your kind, practical and soothing delivery 🙏✨
Dude I’m 18 and just had my first back spasm experience and I will say..... I was acting like I broke my back not gonna lie... it was embarrassing... BUT HOLY SHIT IT HURT
Hey! That's tooooooo young to be having a back spasm!! I would suggest you consider taking up yoga to relax you back muscles - they are just too tight... Also make sure you haven't damaged a disc - it can happen in teenagers who play a lot of high impact sport. Warmest wishes, Coby
@@SootheClinic my lower back really hurts and cant walk straight when am in pain so my doctor told me my back is spasmin just found your video going to try it out
I had my first back spasm in college. I was with some friends and no one knew what to do. I think they thought i was joking. Back spasms HURT holy shit. I had to crawl to my bed.
Yes indeed, back spasms are incredibly painful and incredibly scary... But luckily they do stop eventually. I hope you got through yours ok. Warmest wishes, Coby
Add me to the long list of back spasmer's (pretty sure that's not a word) on here looking for desperate help...i bent over to get something out of the oven and got bumped into...scared me and i jumped a bit....then came the WORST lower back pain i have experienced in my entire life. I couldn't even stand or breathe without excruciating pain. Currently lying on my stomach on a yoga mat googling how the heck i get out of this. This video was perfect...thanks for the clear and concise tips and exercises to ease the pain. Doing it solo but its working good
I’ve suffered at least a couple crippling back spasms that were drawn out over a week. Really bad, couldn’t get up to use the restroom. Wish I had watched this video sooner. Thank you!
My upper back spasmed almost two weeks ago. Wouldn't go away and was getting worse, so a phone visit with the nurse practitioner got me prednisone. It has helped, I can move my arms again. I see the pt tomorrow. Last times this happened to me I was stuck in bed for a week, couldn't get up to use the bathroom or go to the emergency room. I hadn't heard of people falling to the ground, that was new. Thanks!
thk you so much for sharing your expertise and mostly your honesty about how painful a back spasm is--right then--i knew your advice was the one i wanted to follow..thks again and i ll be checking out your back strengthening program..your a saint!!!
I have degenerative disc disease, cerebral palsy, with a herniated disc and recovering from sciatica in February.. i had a bad muscle spasm yesterday afternoon.. very stiff and very painful especially right when i wake up.. it took me a whole hour to get out of bed.. i live alone any tips for single people? I never experienced so much bad pain in my life as of recently.. I've had back spasms since i was a teenager.. I'm 38 now but never this painful.. honestly it's so true! The fear with the excruciating pain and crying... that makes it spasm even more and trigger the sciatica!! Thank you for your post at the very least to know and understand with compassion, you have been a blessing and your voice is very soothing as well.. it's a calm tone which helps as you watch the video! God bless you!❤
I had bells palsy when I was 21. It made permanent stiffness on my face. I am 37 now, just had back spasm last month. Didn’t knew much about it, but just came across this video. I have started drinking hot turmeric milk now. It makes good blood flow in my veins, Along with exercise and ice packs. You try it too. Thanks
One of the very best videos offering tangible methods to try, and which address the underlying problems. It's hard to improve upon Common Sense, and this vid has it. Thank you!
I’ve been struggling with extreme back spasms for years. When they hit it can be debilitating. I appreciate your insight regarding heat and cold treatment and your suggestion re Diazepam. I will discuss this with my doctor and see if it’s an option for me. Thanks for posting this video.
Diazepam, Diclac and tramadol are a good combination for severe back spasms. But any muscle relaxer anti inflammatory and painkiller combination should work.
A couple of years ago I had what appears to be a muscle spasm because I have three bulging disc’s in my lower back. I was washing my car and I fell down on the ground and I couldn’t get up I managed to crawl into a bank and say help help ambulance came and took me to the hospital. I’ve had these spasms throughout the years they’re very very painful beyond the number 10. Today is 15 March 2020 and I had a small one. It’s The remnant of one that I had last week that was very severe while I was in the shower. When these things hit me the paralyze me because I really can’t even breathe. So I have to hold my breath until I can move and then I’ll crawl in your bed or someplace to lay down because this is freaking extremely painful. Monday I’m calling the VA again so that I can get some chiropractic health. Thanks for sharing this video
Hi, first of all you need to get a diagnosis from a physical therapist (ideally an Osteopath). Then they should be able to give you a personalised set of stretches to do on a daily basis. Stretching is the best way to manage and fend off back spasms. Warmest wishes, Coby
I never had a back spasm, but I think that is what happened to me last week and I am still feeling the pain, a lot less though. I am thankful for this series of videos!
Really wish I had a friend around right now. This looks super helpful! Sadly, I live alone with my 3 cats (who do seem very concerned), and have been self-isolating from the virus for the last 4 months 😢.
Don’t worry... it will pass. But good to educate yourself on how to prevent it happening again www.sootheclinic.com - look at my online course. Warmest wishes, Coby
I'm 18 and have about 10 spasms a day. Some are really bad some are tolerable. I have severe lumbar lordosis and a mild scoliosis. I'm so over the spasms!
Hello Dean, if you want to prevent the recurrent back spasms, you need to strengthen and re-balance your back muscles. You can do this with my 6 week back program in the link below. If you do this full 6 week program, and then a maintenance program, it will be very unlikely that your back will be able to spasm.

My back "locked" last night after bathing my children.I managed to get downstairs lay down and my partner gently pushed my back,it made a loud crack and seems to have cured the locking sensation.
You are incredibly kind as you are knowledgeable , wish So much I could come to you ..... and in a perfect world, be true friends..... you just gave me some great things as I am having a really bad upper back spasm. Thank you so much !
Hi Dominick, That's really rotten. Sorry to hear that. Once your spasm has eased off, you need to take steps to address why it happened in the first place, and prevent it happening again. You need to re-balance and strengthen your back muscles so you don't live in fear of it returning. I would recommend my 6 week back strengthening program to prevent a recurrence of spasm.

Honestly I spent nearly 6.months in hospital due to a spinal disease that causes spasms... The quickest fix for anyone who gets them. Ask your doc for a packet of Valium, put one under your tounge and let it sit next to one of your big veins under the tounge. *5-7 mins* spasm stops! - don't rely on it daily (build up your back and neck muscles when you can) but this stops any muscle tares
My spasms were so aggressive that it would force my body into a semi-fetal position, pain level 9. I had to lay and sleep on the floor. I did this type of treatment for 2 days. My wife couldn't even touch my legs at the beginning. Third day, I am up but cautious. The back muscle feels like it was beaten though. Thanks for the info.
I wet a towel and put it the microwave for 2-3 mins. Put it a grocery bag and use it as a heating pad. I apply it to my lower back, and keep it in place with my waist trainer, wrapped real tight. The cold doesn't work for me. Heat is really soothing. I threw my back out earlier today working out. My foot slipped on the carpet. #TheStruggle #InsomuchPain
Hi Doja, I would recommend you get a hot/cold pack belt. It is a lot less messy! I recommend this one: amzn.to/2Sm3e3W If you want a convenient option for just heat, watch my video here for my recommendation: ruclips.net/video/GXd3ShTzEAI/видео.html Warmest wishes, Coby
I had another spasm while walking to the bus stop...I made it through school but I couldn’t make it through work and had to go home...I’m desperate for the pain to go away
Shit i am in the ER right now. I just had my first back spasm at 35 years old I was about to call 911. I was just brushing my teeth when it happened. It lasted 20 min and I never felt that much pain before. I thought I broke my spine
Sergeant Danelarton I was a dancer I had my first muscle spasm in my twenties. During rehearsals I lifted my arm. The pain took my breath away. I don’t get the as much now that I’m older. Except for yesterday I has a spasm in the upper back. It was a rough day. It hurt really bad. I even went to the ER before as well. I hope you feel better.
Oh you poor thing. Watch this video I just put live - it will give you an explanation for how your back could spasm from brushing your teeth. Also, the second link explains what causes a back spasm. It's important to know so you can try to avoid another one. ruclips.net/video/GMhmn9HBH4I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/eaWg_P2T63I/видео.html
Thank you so much. Your tips really helped me. I just had a horrible back spasm while doing yard work and I'm all by myself. Watched this video and I'm totally more relaxed now. Will enjoy cup of tea once my son gets home from work. Your angelic voice also helped me to relax. Gracias 💜
Greetings from Texas! Was browsing through RUclips videos searching Videos to treat Spasms. Because sometimes i get them & it causes me pain. So i will use Your Suggestions in Video helpful Video Thanks
Really helpful- especially recognizing and acknowledging the pain stress cycle- I have gone to many people over the years- they say do this and do that which requires blind faith- when you explain it so well I am more likely to do it - like the 3 min hot cold which brings up a question - I am in a heating pad with a tens unit trying to unlock my sacroiliac….. how do you feel about heating pads?
Hi, Aw I'm so sorry to hear that... it is a rough experience to have first time round (and every time after that to be fair). Try to get a diagnosis for the cause of the spasm, and if it is muscular in origin, you can prevent a re0occurrence with my Back Pain Bootcamp - www.sootheclinic.com. Good luck! Coby
*Inflamed related back pain* _92% of American doctors don’t know that most back pain can come from inflammation, not all back pain comes from physical injuries or wrong posture sitting._ _If you’re suffering from back pain muscle spasm that seems to go away when your walking, that is inflammation._ _Most inflammation comes from processed sugar of all sorts; white bread, white rice, pasta, Red meat, burgers and popular processed meats like hot dogs, sausages and bacon are associated with high inflammation and should be avoided if you suffer from back pain. Red meat contains a sugar called Neu5GC, which promotes inflammation._ *_Neu5Gc,_*_ a non-human sialic acid sugar molecule common in red meat that increases the risk of tumor formation in humans, is also prevalent in pig organs, with concentrations increasing as the organs are cooked, a study by researchers from the UC Davis School of Medicine and Xiamen University School of Medicine has found._ _Other causes of back pain that almost 98% of doctors don’t know as well as chiropractors, physical therapist is back spasms that come from a _*_lack of bowel movement._* _When you have large ounces of stool sitting in your bowels it can cause a _*_back spasm_*_ due to your bowels and intestines enlarging pushing up against the _*_arch of your spine_*_ causing the back muscles to spaz in order to _*_protect_*_ that arch in your lower back; Wendy’s to force is a working against one another he can cause a herniated disc_ _Another cause a back spasm is low magnesium in your blood, you are not getting enough or eating enough magnesium rich foods._ *Here’s a list of vitamins and minerals that fight inflammation* *Omega-3s in fish oil* *Vitamin D* *Garlic* *Vitamin C* *Vitamin A* *Vitamin B6, folate (B9), and B12* *Vitamin E*
Thank you very much for this video. I'm just a bit confused over the timing of the hot-cold application. The first time you say to add hot for 3 min, then cold for 3 min, then when you sum it up, you say hot for 3 min and cold for 1 min. Great video, and thanks again.
Ok Mohammed - these things will help you get out of an acute spasm - but they won't stop it coming back. If you diagnosis is muscular back pain then you can control your back spasms with my 6 week program: www.cobylangford.com/backpainbootcamp Warmest wishes and best of luck! Coby
Hello Shernah, for a diagnosis of muscular back spasms with no underlying medical cause, I recommend my 6 week muscle re-balancing program - it completely stops back spasms. www.cobylangford.com/backpainbootcamp Warmest wishes, Coby
I pulled my back out at pt that I had knee surgery for. The pain was so unbearable I ended up in the chiropractor office be I am out of line. I was ok I thought but it came s is pure hell.back. I am on day 8. Going back today for the chiropractor. I went to my pcp for muscle relaxes. I go back on Monday to see if I am any better. He told me to take 2 ibuprofen and two extra string Tylenol 500 mg along with my medication relaxant. It’s helped but I am still not quite there yet.
3 months! I've had mine since Friday. Diazepam, codeine and paracetamol has done absolutely nothing and I'm already off work sick 1 day do far (today) and I don't know if I've got the mental strength to go through this crap for months...🤣
you describe this so well. I have these on occasion since I have had compression fractures. It terrifies me and I scream and take incremental movements and try to relax. Eventually it subsides.
Thank you for this video - I don't think anyone can understand the pain unless you have experienced it. I am frightened about if it happens when I am alone. could you give any advice please? Thank you
I have a lower back spasm and it hurts like HELL!! Been a couple days, but no relief. I can't lay down to sleep cause no position feels good for my muscles to completely relax and waking up in the morning is a complete nightmare! I have to deep breaths and maneuver at the pace of a tortoise to sit up and even then the back is hit with a spasm. It's so terrible 😭 I'm in tears. When will this pass?!
II was in the ER twice in less than a week with excruciating pain now I have some pain meds. I am afraid to lay down, and I’ve barely slept in the last 24 hours
Thanks a ton for this video. Since last to last night i started having spasm suddenly, could hardly sleep for 2 hours the entire night on day 1. Even breathing was so painful. The very next morning went to therapist, who performed electrotherapy and cuping therapy. Unfortunately pain took over within few hours as brutal as day1 night. This time i stumbled upon your video. Honesly i could hardly keep my back straight even 10 min on stretch but somhow i got the painkiller med(Aldigesic) and did alternate hydro therapy as guided by you followed by oil massage. Though i live alone still pushed myself to complete it, just to enusre i could atleast breath freely. Infact the pain was bad enough to i dice mild fever and nausea, i could barely finish my food any of the three times. The pain was less by 90% post completing the three steps. Initially I thought this to be a painkiller effect. So i slept without waisting time and pain relief affect, anyway i was sleepless since previous night. Now this next morning the pain has further lessened... And I am less of words to thank you. I can atleast move, lie down on my back and go to loo which became so difficult initially. Will work on now to get my core muscles back. Thanks again - Subhajit
Had my very first back spasm today. Hit the floor that fast with the pain. Never knew it could hurt so much. Watched many videos on back spasms and I have to say yours was one of the best. Thanks so much.
Glad it helped :)
I had one in the truck stop last week and it was hell walking back to my truck
@@grovedwayne390 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Maria Luna i drove from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire that same night, and it felt like i hit every bump on the interstate 😆 🤣
I agree 💯.
Muscle spasms are no joke. I was so stressed out when it happened to me for the first time a few days ago. I was like " Something as terrible as this sh*** exists?" Now, I'm a little "used to" to it and have learned how to prevent and or manage such panicking moments. Sitting and sleeping in a correct position has largely controlled the frequency of spasms, and heat/cold applications does give me some relief but I think positioning is a most important part in the healing process.
This girl's voice is soo soothing
That first 2 minutes of explanation is the best description of the problem I've heard on youtube or in a written article. Very useful , calming me down a bit. Im having an episode right now and lying in bed desperate.
im in tears. back spasms are sooo painful.
Mine too😢
You are amazing!!!!!! Thank you for clearly explaining back spasms and putting my mind at ease. I feel i can run. The confidence your explanation gave is priceless. I've been suffering for the past month.❤️❤️❤️

Yianna Merky Thankyou, comments like this make all the effort of posting worthwhile 🙏🏻
I had this problem two weeks ago when I was playing basketball (without proper warm-up). I was in extreme pain the first 5 days, even with pain killers, until I decided to go to the doctor, where I got two injections, one was a pain killer and the other an anti-inflammatory. 30 minutes after the injections and the pain dropped to half. The doctor gave me three medicines to take for the following week, two kinds of pain killers, one every four hours, and one muscle relaxant to take before sleep. The night after the injections and the medicines was the first night I could sleep deeply. Today is the day 7 after the doctor's visit, I am pain free, little bit tension is still there, I think because I didn't do any massage to the muscles. Hope my experience will help you. Much love and stay healthy!
Omg thank you so much currently having back spasms from having a panic attack where I tensed up so much, and now the pain is unbearable so pleased I clicked on this video xx
You are welcome 🙏🏻 Good luck x
How great for me to find this video last night after I had finally gotten myself off the floor after an hour of, as you say, terrifying, EXCRUCIATING! spasm. How many videos here are about 'back spasm' and yet none of them really address the critical situation that you so well describe here. It was a great relief for me, being alone through this, to see your clear explanation of what exactly I was going through. Thank you so much for your work and for being 'here'.
Thank you. I am in the middle of a severe spasm and this and your previous video have helped me a lot. Your voice is so soothing
Great - glad to help! Warmest wishes, Coby
Same . It feels so bad im lying on my back its hard to raise my legs up
I agree, love her idea of getting herbal tea, and just talking about the calming effect, very important.
Thanks Coby for explaining so clear what to do against the true horrors i experienced last week a whole night long. Even after a week i still feel the fear it comes back. Your video is very clear, i wish i had seen this earlier.
Thank you so much Coby, I was in acute pain and I found this so helpful and made me feeling safe and relaxed 🌷
I want to say thank you and God bless you!!! Today I got a really bad back spasm I wasn't really able to move and I had a lot of pain. I didn't have anyone to help me but this video. I am now able to walk and the pain is almost completely gone. Once again thank you!!!

Was just changing the laundry when it happened. Couldn’t move, locked in the position I was in for 15 minutes before getting to the floor, crawling through the basement and up the steps. I’ve experienced natural childbirth twice, but if you ask me today, this was more painful, terrifying, don’t think you’ll ever be okay again levels of pain. Wish I saw this two days ago. I am walking, still sleeping on the floor though. Now it feels like I’ve been in a car accident, and all my an muscles are sore as well from compensating. Just reading comments on these videos saved me
This was so nice, when and if you have someone to help you, but for those of us who live alone, we are alone. I try to calm my back down, slowly get up, and get my ice. Sure wish I could have someone rub me gently...I've got Icy hot that I like, but I have a heating pad I use too. It is crazy living with chronic back and nerve pain and never gets better. It is a long journey of enduring every day...some days better than others, but woe when it takes you down again.
Hi, my 6 week program may help you get some more permanent relief: www.sootheclinic.com/back-pain-boot-camp

Great video. I had lower back spasms after a muscle strain. Its very true about the vicious cycle you mention. The pain causes you to worry and tense up, which causes more pain, and on and on. Breaking that cycle is very hard to do. It's true about the effect mental stress has on your body. Feeling anxious causes muscle tension.
Thank you so much I can't explain how much pain I was in but your video helped me so much.
I had this problem two weeks ago when I was playing basketball (without proper warm-up). I was in extreme pain the first 5 days, even with pain killers, until I decided to go to the doctor, where I got two injections, one was a pain killer and the other an anti-inflammatory. 30 minutes after the injections and the pain dropped to half. The doctor gave me three medicines to take for the following week, two kinds of pain killers, one every four hours, and one muscle relaxant to take before sleep. The night after the injections and the medicines was the first night I could sleep deeply. Today is the day 7 after the doctor's visit, I am pain free, little bit tension is still there, I think because I didn't do any massage to the muscles. Hope my experience will help you. Much love and stay healthy!
I can’t get off the floor nevermind making a hot water bottle 😂

Here we go again, 2nd spasm almost exactly 1 year later. Not as bad as my first though. The hot and cold thing really helped! And the exercises from the other video. Good to know now what to do! Thanks a mil
Thank you so much. I just found this video and it's amazing! I have a family friend who has these. She doesn't know I know because I'm still a teen and she didn't tell me about her condition to not worry me but my mom did tell me and I couldn't find any good videos that would show me what to do if those were to happen. I really wanna be able to help her so thank you so much
Thank you. I’ve had back spasms out of nowhere since getting CRPS over a decade ago,
Can you do a video on what to do if you’re alone? So often no one is around and that helpless feeling of not being able to get anything to help yourself is just terrifying.
Many thanks 😊
In my case, I've just had my second spasm in almost 2 years. I've gone through online videos but I think this one is really helpful. I took painkillers, applied heat pad, and ice pack alternatively, and applied emulgel. I've started to walk on the second day. Hope this would be over in the next couple of days max. Thank you for taking out time to put up this video.
@@KumaranPilot sorry to hear that mate.. as I said, take it easy, medicines, hot pad, and a muscle relaxant gel. And give yourself some time.
You're so lucky!

This is the best advice I have ever seen ... I deal with crippling back spasms for about 4 years now and can't get any answers... I get injections that only last about a month 🙏🙏💝💝
Hi, This will help you stop your back spasms: www.sootheclinic.com/back-pain-boot-camp
It's my 6 week exercise program designed to rebalance your back muscles and re-activate core stability, thereby stopping back spasms. Warmest wishes, Coby
I've tried going to a chiropractor. That has changed my life!
This was best approach to relief spasm on spot., not treatment . Thanks really works.
Thank you for this video, going to try the hot cold technique! I’m having my first muscle spasm - fortunately it’s not debilitating but it is uncomfortable! Thank you for your kind, practical and soothing delivery 🙏✨
Dude I’m 18 and just had my first back spasm experience and I will say..... I was acting like I broke my back not gonna lie... it was embarrassing... BUT HOLY SHIT IT HURT
Hey! That's tooooooo young to be having a back spasm!! I would suggest you consider taking up yoga to relax you back muscles - they are just too tight... Also make sure you haven't damaged a disc - it can happen in teenagers who play a lot of high impact sport. Warmest wishes, Coby
@@SootheClinic my lower back really hurts and cant walk straight when am in pain so my doctor told me my back is spasmin just found your video going to try it out
Derp I had my first one last night and im only 16, had a paramedic come out cause 111 said to with how much pain i had, it really sucks
I thought I was going to be a paraplegic.. worst pain I've ever experienced
I got my first at 14, then 19, 25, 30, 31 and 32... It hurt so much, only painkillers would help..
I had my first back spasm in college. I was with some friends and no one knew what to do. I think they thought i was joking. Back spasms HURT holy shit. I had to crawl to my bed.
Yes indeed, back spasms are incredibly painful and incredibly scary... But luckily they do stop eventually. I hope you got through yours ok. Warmest wishes, Coby
Add me to the long list of back spasmer's (pretty sure that's not a word) on here looking for desperate help...i bent over to get something out of the oven and got bumped into...scared me and i jumped a bit....then came the WORST lower back pain i have experienced in my entire life. I couldn't even stand or breathe without excruciating pain. Currently lying on my stomach on a yoga mat googling how the heck i get out of this. This video was perfect...thanks for the clear and concise tips and exercises to ease the pain. Doing it solo but its working good
I’ve suffered at least a couple crippling back spasms that were drawn out over a week. Really bad, couldn’t get up to use the restroom. Wish I had watched this video sooner. Thank you!
My upper back spasmed almost two weeks ago. Wouldn't go away and was getting worse, so a phone visit with the nurse practitioner got me prednisone. It has helped, I can move my arms again. I see the pt tomorrow. Last times this happened to me I was stuck in bed for a week, couldn't get up to use the bathroom or go to the emergency room.
I hadn't heard of people falling to the ground, that was new.
Thanks!
thk you so much for sharing your expertise and mostly your honesty about how painful a back spasm is--right then--i knew your advice was the one i wanted to follow..thks again and i ll be checking out your back strengthening program..your a saint!!!
😃 Best vid on the tube by far covering back spasms - Thaaaaaaaank you!! 🌞💚🌞
Wow, thank you!
I have degenerative disc disease, cerebral palsy, with a herniated disc and recovering from sciatica in February.. i had a bad muscle spasm yesterday afternoon.. very stiff and very painful especially right when i wake up.. it took me a whole hour to get out of bed.. i live alone any tips for single people? I never experienced so much bad pain in my life as of recently.. I've had back spasms since i was a teenager.. I'm 38 now but never this painful.. honestly it's so true! The fear with the excruciating pain and crying... that makes it spasm even more and trigger the sciatica!! Thank you for your post at the very least to know and understand with compassion, you have been a blessing and your voice is very soothing as well.. it's a calm tone which helps as you watch the video! God bless you!❤
I had bells palsy when I was 21. It made permanent stiffness on my face. I am 37 now, just had back spasm last month.
Didn’t knew much about it, but just came across this video.
I have started drinking hot turmeric milk now. It makes good blood flow in my veins, Along with exercise and ice packs.
You try it too. Thanks
Am in worst kind of pain but watching the video itself is a relief
One of the very best videos offering tangible methods to try, and which address the underlying problems. It's hard to improve upon Common Sense, and this vid has it. Thank you!
Glad it has helped you!
I’ve been struggling with extreme back spasms for years. When they hit it can be debilitating. I appreciate your insight regarding heat and cold treatment and your suggestion re Diazepam. I will discuss this with my doctor and see if it’s an option for me. Thanks for posting this video.
Diazepam, Diclac and tramadol are a good combination for severe back spasms. But any muscle relaxer anti inflammatory and painkiller combination should work.
I learned that some of these, like muscle relaxers, interact with certain meds like anti-anxiety meds. So talk to a doctor.
A couple of years ago I had what appears to be a muscle spasm because I have three bulging disc’s in my lower back. I was washing my car and I fell down on the ground and I couldn’t get up I managed to crawl into a bank and say help help ambulance came and took me to the hospital. I’ve had these spasms throughout the years they’re very very painful beyond the number 10. Today is 15 March 2020 and I had a small one.
It’s The remnant of one that I had last week that was very severe while I was in the shower. When these things hit me the paralyze me because I really can’t even breathe. So I have to hold my breath until I can move and then I’ll crawl in your bed or someplace to lay down because this is freaking extremely painful. Monday I’m calling the VA again so that I can get some chiropractic health. Thanks for sharing this video
Hi, first of all you need to get a diagnosis from a physical therapist (ideally an Osteopath). Then they should be able to give you a personalised set of stretches to do on a daily basis. Stretching is the best way to manage and fend off back spasms. Warmest wishes, Coby
I never had a back spasm, but I think that is what happened to me last week and I am still feeling the pain, a lot less though. I am thankful for this series of videos!
Really wish I had a friend around right now. This looks super helpful! Sadly, I live alone with my 3 cats (who do seem very concerned), and have been self-isolating from the virus for the last 4 months 😢.
😢😢
having spasms all day. Terrified. Thank you so much
Don’t worry... it will pass. But good to educate yourself on how to prevent it happening again www.sootheclinic.com - look at my online course. Warmest wishes, Coby
Well explained. Your voice and manner are soothing, as well.
I'm 18 and have about 10 spasms a day. Some are really bad some are tolerable. I have severe lumbar lordosis and a mild scoliosis. I'm so over the spasms!
Great video 👍. Thank you for sharing. I'm currently laid up for the second time because of severe back spasms. There no joke.
Hello Dean, if you want to prevent the recurrent back spasms, you need to strengthen and re-balance your back muscles. You can do this with my 6 week back program in the link below. If you do this full 6 week program, and then a maintenance program, it will be very unlikely that your back will be able to spasm. Warmest wishes, Coby Download link here:

Best video I found on low back spasm..... thank you ma'am
My back "locked" last night after bathing my children.I managed to get downstairs lay down and my partner gently pushed my back,it made a loud crack and seems to have cured the locking sensation.
Thank you so much! My mum has been in a cycle for a few days now, been trying to think of new things to try
Thank u currently I am having pain on my left side of my Back . I hope doing ur tips I will get relief from pain .
Watched this video while putting an Ice pack and hot water bag. You illustrated very nicely. Thank you.
You are incredibly kind as you are knowledgeable , wish So much I could come to you ..... and in a perfect world, be true friends..... you just gave me some great things as I am having a really bad upper back spasm. Thank you so much !
You are welcome! Glad they helped!
Nice technique shown, systematically. Good.
7:40 Sounds like you're saying "...just torture them." (LOL)
But seriously, great video. You've been very helpful to me.
Thanks so much ,my lower back is in so much pain I'm going to try this now.
i'm the one with the spasm and have to do this solo...much appreciated!
Hi Dominick,
That's really rotten. Sorry to hear that. Once your spasm has eased off, you need to take steps to address why it happened in the first place, and prevent it happening again. You need to re-balance and strengthen your back muscles so you don't live in fear of it returning. I would recommend my 6 week back strengthening program to prevent a recurrence of spasm. You can download it here: www.sootheclinic.com/product/easing-back-pain-six-week-yoga-program/Warmest wishes, Coby

Did anyone else hear her saying '3 minutes cold' and then she said '1 minute cold'?
Hi! The correct timing is 3 mins hot, 1 min cold, 3 times in a row. Warmest wishes, Coby
Cinéaste Studio he said 3mins hot 1 mins cold and then do it 3 times
3 minutes hot 1 minute cold, 3 times ending in cold
People, I found out from a different website -- it's 1 min cold, 3 min hot, 3x ending w/cold.
Even breathing hurt! I hopped in the shower and I did the warm/cool cycle thing and now my pain is almost entirely gone!
Honestly I spent nearly 6.months in hospital due to a spinal disease that causes spasms...
The quickest fix for anyone who gets them. Ask your doc for a packet of Valium, put one under your tounge and let it sit next to one of your big veins under the tounge.
*5-7 mins* spasm stops! - don't rely on it daily (build up your back and neck muscles when you can) but this stops any muscle tares
My spasms were so aggressive that it would force my body into a semi-fetal position, pain level 9. I had to lay and sleep on the floor. I did this type of treatment for 2 days. My wife couldn't even touch my legs at the beginning. Third day, I am up but cautious. The back muscle feels like it was beaten though. Thanks for the info.
I wet a towel and put it the microwave for 2-3 mins. Put it a grocery bag and use it as a heating pad. I apply it to my lower back, and keep it in place with my waist trainer, wrapped real tight. The cold doesn't work for me. Heat is really soothing. I threw my back out earlier today working out. My foot slipped on the carpet. #TheStruggle #InsomuchPain
Hi Doja, I would recommend you get a hot/cold pack belt. It is a lot less messy! I recommend this one: amzn.to/2Sm3e3W
If you want a convenient option for just heat, watch my video here for my recommendation: ruclips.net/video/GXd3ShTzEAI/видео.html
Warmest wishes, Coby
It hurts to breath and laugh.
Argh I have never pulled my back out like this before.
You said exactly what I am being right now. I wish I had watched this video earlier.
Ive ordered some of the soothe cream, payd express delivery but still havnt recieved it. Hope it arrives soon!
It’s so difficult to take care of yourself when you’re alone. I just lay in bed in pain.
How long did it take to heal?
This is so true i did it and is wonderful! Thanks Godly woman
Watching this lying on the floor with a spasm right now, help!
Oh dear - that's not fun. I hope you got through it ok :)
Thank you so much ma'am 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 respect from india🇮🇳
U are amazing u liked almost every comment
Yes... every comment takes effort and comes from someone in pain so deserves acknowledgement 🙏🏻
I had another spasm while walking to the bus stop...I made it through school but I couldn’t make it through work and had to go home...I’m desperate for the pain to go away
Shit i am in the ER right now. I just had my first back spasm at 35 years old I was about to call 911. I was just brushing my teeth when it happened. It lasted 20 min and I never felt that much pain before. I thought I broke my spine
Sergeant Danelarton I was a dancer I had my first muscle spasm in my twenties. During rehearsals I lifted my arm. The pain took my breath away. I don’t get the as much now that I’m older. Except for yesterday I has a spasm in the upper back. It was a rough day. It hurt really bad. I even went to the ER before as well. I hope you feel better.
Oh you poor thing. Watch this video I just put live - it will give you an explanation for how your back could spasm from brushing your teeth. Also, the second link explains what causes a back spasm. It's important to know so you can try to avoid another one. ruclips.net/video/GMhmn9HBH4I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/eaWg_P2T63I/видео.html
Thank you so much. Your tips really helped me. I just had a horrible back spasm while doing yard work and I'm all by myself. Watched this video and I'm totally more relaxed now. Will enjoy cup of tea once my son gets home from work. Your angelic voice also helped me to relax. Gracias 💜
You are very welcome. Glad to be able to help you. Warmest wishes, Coby
Greetings from Texas! Was browsing through RUclips videos searching Videos to treat Spasms. Because sometimes i get them & it causes me pain. So i will use Your Suggestions in Video helpful Video Thanks
Thank you for this video. I’m on day two of being down due to this. So painful.
Really helpful- especially recognizing and acknowledging the pain stress cycle- I have gone to many people over the years- they say do this and do that which requires blind faith- when you explain it so well I am more likely to do it - like the 3 min hot cold which brings up a question - I am in a heating pad with a tens unit trying to unlock my sacroiliac….. how do you feel about heating pads?
Perfect video.. came to look for a back spasm video.. going through a bad pain right now 😭 can't move , breath or laugh
I am 23 years old
Currently having pain in my back just like broken I can’t even bend myself
Had my first spasm yesterday. My back was already hurting bad from a strain and then it hit me.
I thought my spine had ruptured, it was terrifying.
Hi, Aw I'm so sorry to hear that... it is a rough experience to have first time round (and every time after that to be fair). Try to get a diagnosis for the cause of the spasm, and if it is muscular in origin, you can prevent a re0occurrence with my Back Pain Bootcamp - www.sootheclinic.com. Good luck! Coby
This happened to me recently. Still dealing with the spasms. What did you do to help you ?
Time...and the usual things@@BerthaRamsey-e9o
*Inflamed related back pain*
_92% of American doctors don’t know that most back pain can come from inflammation, not all back pain comes from physical injuries or wrong posture sitting._
_If you’re suffering from back pain muscle spasm that seems to go away when your walking, that is inflammation._
_Most inflammation comes from processed sugar of all sorts; white bread, white rice, pasta, Red meat, burgers and popular processed meats like hot dogs, sausages and bacon are associated with high inflammation and should be avoided if you suffer from back pain. Red meat contains a sugar called Neu5GC, which promotes inflammation._
*_Neu5Gc,_*_ a non-human sialic acid sugar molecule common in red meat that increases the risk of tumor formation in humans, is also prevalent in pig organs, with concentrations increasing as the organs are cooked, a study by researchers from the UC Davis School of Medicine and Xiamen University School of Medicine has found._
_Other causes of back pain that almost 98% of doctors don’t know as well as chiropractors, physical therapist is back spasms that come from a _*_lack of bowel movement._*
_When you have large ounces of stool sitting in your bowels it can cause a _*_back spasm_*_ due to your bowels and intestines enlarging pushing up against the _*_arch of your spine_*_ causing the back muscles to spaz in order to _*_protect_*_ that arch in your lower back; Wendy’s to force is a working against one another he can cause a herniated disc_
_Another cause a back spasm is low magnesium in your blood, you are not getting enough or eating enough magnesium rich foods._
*Here’s a list of vitamins and minerals that fight inflammation*
*Omega-3s in fish oil*
*Vitamin D*
*Garlic*
*Vitamin C*
*Vitamin A*
*Vitamin B6, folate (B9), and B12*
*Vitamin E*
Fantastic information. Many thanks.
This video was hugely helpful ty so much!!!!!!
Good to hear :)
I’m in spasm now. Took 30 minutes to get out the car - screaming. 😢
Thank you very much for this video. I'm just a bit confused over the timing of the hot-cold application. The first time you say to add hot for 3 min, then cold for 3 min, then when you sum it up, you say hot for 3 min and cold for 1 min. Great video, and thanks again.
3 mins hot, 1 min cold :)
Thank you mam. I'm on bed rest for more than a week and tried mild swimming today.
Just wanted to why not coffee during Spasm!
3 disc bulges! The poor woman! Made my eyes water just hearing it. Hopefully all this time later she is doing ok.
i m the latest victim of spasm...tried everything...will use this technique...thanks
Ok Mohammed - these things will help you get out of an acute spasm - but they won't stop it coming back. If you diagnosis is muscular back pain then you can control your back spasms with my 6 week program: www.cobylangford.com/backpainbootcamp Warmest wishes and best of luck! Coby
Soothe Clinic Thank you so much coby...will check out your programme
@@SootheClinic mine happens every day for almost a year wat do u suggest i do?
Hello Shernah, for a diagnosis of muscular back spasms with no underlying medical cause, I recommend my 6 week muscle re-balancing program - it completely stops back spasms. www.cobylangford.com/backpainbootcamp

I pulled my back out at pt that I had knee surgery for. The pain was so unbearable I ended up in the chiropractor office be I am out of line. I was ok I thought but it came s is pure hell.back. I am on day 8. Going back today for the chiropractor. I went to my pcp for muscle relaxes. I go back on Monday to see if I am any better. He told me to take 2 ibuprofen and two extra string Tylenol 500 mg along with my medication relaxant. It’s helped but I am still not quite there yet.
Spinal muscle spasm from last few weeks ,will try this
Thank you so much. This will help me deal with back spasm i get becuase of my car accident
Thank you for this really well made video🙏
Still recovering from my first spasm after 3 months 😞 At least I can walk now.
3 months! I've had mine since Friday. Diazepam, codeine and paracetamol has done absolutely nothing and I'm already off work sick 1 day do far (today) and I don't know if I've got the mental strength to go through this crap for months...🤣
you describe this so well. I have these on occasion since I have had compression fractures. It terrifies me and I scream and take incremental movements and try to relax. Eventually it subsides.
Had one the other day for the first time ever. Floored me. I couldn't breathe for a few seconds and got double-vision. Bloody horrible.
Thank you for this video - I don't think anyone can understand the pain unless you have experienced it. I am frightened about if it happens when I am alone. could you give any advice please? Thank you
I have a lower back spasm and it hurts like HELL!! Been a couple days, but no relief. I can't lay down to sleep cause no position feels good for my muscles to completely relax and waking up in the morning is a complete nightmare! I have to deep breaths and maneuver at the pace of a tortoise to sit up and even then the back is hit with a spasm. It's so terrible 😭 I'm in tears. When will this pass?!
You need to see a good ortho doc
II was in the ER twice in less than a week with excruciating pain now I have some pain meds. I am afraid to lay down, and I’ve barely slept in the last 24 hours
Thanks a ton for this video. Since last to last night i started having spasm suddenly, could hardly sleep for 2 hours the entire night on day 1. Even breathing was so painful. The very next morning went to therapist, who performed electrotherapy and cuping therapy.
Unfortunately pain took over within few hours as brutal as day1 night. This time i stumbled upon your video.
Honesly i could hardly keep my back straight even 10 min on stretch but somhow i got the painkiller med(Aldigesic) and did alternate hydro therapy as guided by you followed by oil massage. Though i live alone still pushed myself to complete it, just to enusre i could atleast breath freely. Infact the pain was bad enough to i dice mild fever and nausea, i could barely finish my food any of the three times.
The pain was less by 90% post completing the three steps. Initially I thought this to be a painkiller effect. So i slept without waisting time and pain relief affect, anyway i was sleepless since previous night.
Now this next morning the pain has further lessened... And I am less of words to thank you.
I can atleast move, lie down on my back and go to loo which became so difficult initially.
Will work on now to get my core muscles back.
Thanks again - Subhajit
