In general, chiropractic adjustments of your back are the very best thing you can to help with back spasms and pain. Please call for an assessment and consultation. Thanks!
Stretches and chiropractic adjustments.
First, the reason for your spasms must be determined. Are you well hydrated? Often, dehydration causes cramps and spasms, so drink more water. Spasms can also be associated with nerve interference. Find a good chiropractor and have an examination to determine the cause of the spasms. Stretching, massage, and manipulation can all be effective treatment.
I hope you find this info helpful.

Take care and be well,

Back spasms are usually a response to dysfunction in the pelvis and lumbar spine. The best way to alleviate the spasm is to restore proper alignment and function to that area of the spine with a Chiropractic treatment.
To soothe a muscle spasm, press on the affected area for 30–60 seconds, then rub the surrounding area in a circular motion. Firm massage may be uncomfortable, but should not be painful. If you feel a pulse on the area you are massaging, do not apply pressure. Both heat and ice can relieve the pain of a muscle spasm
A proper evaluation is needed to determine the cause and then the proper treatment.
One must determine the cause like mineral deficiency of magnesium or calcium or dehydration or spine misalignments.
