Everything You Need To Know About Back Spasms

- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2024
- Healthcare professionals usually don’t explain to their patients why back spasms come on. Back spasms come on suddenly and can be very intense, so the focus is usually on putting out the fire and reducing the pain in the short-term.
This is done with pain medications, muscle relaxers, basic stretches, injections and massage. The short-term relief is important so that you can get back to doing things again.
But what about the long-term?
If you’ve had a back spasm, or recurring back spasms, it’s important to start addressing the root problem so that you can start to get rid of them for good!
In this video, Dr. David explains the root cause of back spasms and the best treatment for fixing back spasms for the long-term.

Greetings from England. This is particularly interesting. Next time around I’m coming back as a jellyfish.
Hi Mebbe, Thank you for joining us from England! That's great! It would be awesome to not have to deal with bones and muscle and just be a graceful blob of jelly. 🐙
Great info. Relates directly to my situation. Many thanks!
Hi Dean, You're welcome! Thank you so much for the kind words. We hope you can find some relief for your back. Just in case you're interested, we have a playlist for back pain help. You can access it here: Back Pain Exercises & Stretches

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Thankyou 🦘
Thanks
Hi Hoojammyflip, thank you and thank you for your support! 🙌
Thank you doc.....this information should be a PSA shown on every media 10 times each day!
Hi JS, you're welcome! Thank you so much for the encouraging words. We would love for more people to learn about this as well. We hope you feel better soon!
I have PsA with axial involvement that went undiagnosed for over 30 years. In my early 30s I had a bi-level micro D with laminectomy from L4-S1. Two years later I had a PLIF with instrumentation at those levels. I had my left SI joint fused in 2018 and was finally diagnosed correctly in 2022.
As you can imagine, I have a ton of osteoarthritis as well as the inflammatory arthritis. I currently have bone marrow edema at 3 levels, ankylosing at one level, foraminal stenosis at 4 levels, erosions in my right SI joint, ridiculous amounts of tendonopathy and circumferential bulges from T12-L4.
I exercise most days even if it's just a bit of core work, hip strengthening and trapezius work. I walk when I can and am starting water arthritis classes soon. I work with bands and light weights.
I love physical therapy and do at least 10 weeks a year. For someone with such an extensive and complicated history, should I be doing PT more often? I know my pain management doctor has no problem writing scripts for more PT. With this disease, movement is key.
Hi Alisa, We are so sorry you have been struggling with PsA and the extensive complications that have accompanied it for over 30 years. Many people don't know what it’s like to deal with such a complex and chronic condition unless they are going through it themselves. It's clear you have been through a lot, from surgeries to ongoing issues with osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.
It’s impressive that you stay active despite these challenges, engaging in core work, hip strengthening, trapezius exercises, walking, and even starting water arthritis classes. Your dedication to maintaining your physical health is commendable.
Given your extensive and complicated medical history, manual physical therapy could indeed be beneficial. It's great to hear that you love physical therapy and already dedicate at least 10 weeks a year to it. Considering the nature of your condition and the emphasis on movement, increasing your PT sessions could potentially offer more support and relief.
You might find it helpful to visit the website of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT). They have a "Find a Fellow" search feature that can assist you in locating physical therapists who have advanced training and specialization in manual therapy techniques similar to those practiced by Dr. David. Here is the link to their search tool:

When searching for a therapist, we recommend discussing your specific condition, treatment preferences, and goals with them during your initial consultation. This will help ensure that their approach aligns with your needs and expectations.

Thanks!
Hi Joe, you are welcome! Thank you so much for your support and for being part of our community! We hope your back feels better soon!
Again, another great video!!! I am realizing that my multiple problems need more guidance to coordinate total body health. I’ve tried to find a Manual Physical Therapy in my local area, Baton Rouge, La. Any suggestions on how to find muscle imbalance therapy? What I’ve found is that manual therapy has broad based definitions. Thanks so much for your videos and help!!!
Thank you for the comprehensive video!
I will show it to my therapist, because I've been having mild lumbar spasms, and we've been doing everything but ab training.
Would hanging from my arms also help this condition?
How can I work on my abs with a hiatal hernia please? Working on abs worsens the hernia and the chest gerd/lung space
I had major muscle spasms for months that wouldn't heal (a 9-10 out of a 10) . I tried stretching, muscle relaxants, hot baths, ibuprofen, ice, heat, TENS therapy, and nothing helped for more than an hour or so. I suspected low potassium. All the clues pointed to that. So I took 1 teaspoon of No Salt in water and that same day all of my muscles relaxed. I now don't need pain meds. What is the clue that led to a potassium deficiency? I eat a lot of processed foods with a lot of sodium. High sodium leads to low potassium. Low potassium leads to cramping and muscle tightness. And there's no way I can get 3500 mg a day of potassium from food. The total cost: $6.00.
Doc, where can I find your abdominal exercise program? 28 day program?
Can a super tight psoas pull a disc out? My right psoas where I have a hip resurfacing seems like it pulls my back on the right particularly when the joint hurts. Abs must be the answer.
