Back Spasms: What Is It, Causes & Treatment

Preventing Back Spasm

Your back puts forth a lot of effort. Your likelihood of experiencing back spasms will decline as you take better care of it. Here are some things to think about:

  • Your joints and spine can experience less stress if you keep your weight modest.
  • Wearing flat shoes and maintaining a straight posture will help to offer stability and ease strain on the lower back muscles.
  • Exercises to strengthen the muscles in your back and (core) abdomen should be done on a daily basis to keep you moving and feeling well.
  • Back problems will get worse if you spend a lot of time sitting or in bed.

If you are not physically active, discuss with your doctor before you start an exercise program. Your physiotherapist will help suggest specific exercises that can be helpful and easier on your back.
