Muscles spasm is a part of almost all injuries, even a stomach ache comes with muscle spasm, but understanding how muscle spasm is caused and how it impacts lower back injuries will help you make better decisions when it comes to remedying the back injury itself. Ultimately, this will lead to better results and lasting recovery from back pain.
The first major mistake is that people view back muscle spasm as the problem in itself, and of course, it certainly doesn't make the problem or injury better. The problem however, with this error in judgement is the resultant actions we take when we assume the primary problem is the muscles spasm rather than the injury. If you can first shift the way you view back muscle spasm, to an injury first, muscle spasm second approach you're ready to start getting results.
When you view the problem in the right way we can start to understand that we want to build the strength of these muscles that protect the spine. We also want to re-learn how to control for good movement at the level of the spine and hips.
By learning to brace (protect) your spine with a good muscular corset, and then use your hips to do the moving, you'll find your back is much less aggravated and less room for muscles to spasm as a result. This leads to more progress, less pain, and finally, you getting back to the things you love sooner!
From here, you can then work on more objective strengthening of the muscular chains that support and protect your lower back, building the resilience of your body. With all of these steps the Back In Shape Program can help you each and every step of the way!

I feel like doctors throw around the phrase "muscle spasms" too closely. I've had severe sciatica and back pain for a year and never had a muscle spasm, yet got dismissed by doctors as them assuming my pain was muscle spasms. Good to hear you explain what they actually are, great video!
You are right there! hopefully you're doing better nowadays! :)
Same here this is insane man

i don't know if mines a "Muscle spasm" in my lumbosacral spot.. mines more like deep ligaments being torn off the bone.. way more painful
@@daltonvoss7693 Just shared a link on one of your other comments i do think it will help :)
My spasm is chronic , only on right side flank to my rib area. Certain movement trigger what i believe is spasm moving around in bed, getting out car, getting off the sofa . The pain is so painful it will stop you in your track for 2 seconds then I can move again. Been dealing with this for the last 6 month, I have a back brace but does nothing for healing . I'm so depress behind this pain . I plan on seeing a Ortho Dr.
I feel you. ❤ stay strong.
You have the exact same thing I have. Getting out of bed is very scary as you know you're going to get hit with a sudden lightening bolt of pain. Going on 4 weeks now. Doing some heat and a bit of stretching.
@@Cigar65 Try facing the wall next to your bed laying on your back (if that's your location, other wise lay on the floor next to one) with both legs vertical for a determined amount of time to let the blood flow in a different direction. Repeat frequently.
This video just tells you to watch another video.
We explain it in a little detail - this video might be more helpful for you ua-cam.com/video/DE5EapObKLI/v-deo.html
Which one?
Great, great video. Hoping for another explanation for upper back/neck/shoulders.
Thanks for the kind words, the best way to think about neck, shoulders and upper back is just like the lower back and the pelvic girdle, (i.e. the "shoulder region and upper back would be the glute region in the example of the lower back) and fundamentally similar rules apply - however, it is additionally more common for there to be objective shoulder issues i.e. supraspinatus etc.
Great explanation ❤
Thanks Gustavo, glad you found it helpful
Thanks for this video, I had at different times had x-rays done on my lower back and they said I had no ruptured disk on my lower back. But they never explained was the problem. Glad I found this video, Thanks!
It's a pleasure, you might find this podcast episode interesting: backinshapeprogram.com/2023/03/do-you-need-imaging-for-lower-back-pain-or-sciatica/ and the one afterwards (next episode)
X-rays don't show discs. They only show bones. You were lied too.
Thanks for this video. I’ve been seeing private physio for a few months now and although he’s explained what’s going on, something just didn’t click for me, but your video has filled those gaps
It’s a pleasure, we actually covered this more in a recent podcast episode which you might find of interest too: ua-cam.com/video/DE5EapObKLI/v-deo.html ☺️
I’ve started going to the gym (10 months in) and with a herniated disk diagnosed via MRI 18 years ago, I’ve had around 4 flare ups in that time which I’m putting down to doing deadlifts and handling 20kg single dumbbells. Looking at my self in the mirror I can tell how bad I am based on how sloping to one side I look. I apply my bag of cold peas regularly while foam rolling my hips (and the tops of my hips which seem really tight) and some yoga poses to gently stretch my lower back and hamstrings. No more deadlifts, wear a belt , and focus on core work and stretching
Sorry to hear you're struggling, you might find this video helpful: ua-cam.com/video/zl28U46oipY/v-deo.html
@@BackInShapeProgram thank you so much 😊 I will check it out now. Weirdly I find I gain more mobility/ flexibility after foam rolling the top part of my hips which are ridiculously tight.
My MRI says i have loss of lumbar lordosis. I had sciatica once. Now i have minute numbness in leg. But constant spasms even though I am very much careful now, not pulling weights, not bending forward. I am regularly doing the three exercises my physiotherapist advised. I have stiff back sometimes and constsnt spasms. Can you please guide what I should do.
If those exercises are things like knee hugs, knee rocks or basically rounding your lower back, stop them - you need to do strengthening work. It is always difficult with an MRI to make assertions about lordosis loss as when you lie flat on your back your lordosis will often flatten - it's often the case that this changes when you stand up... that being said, you'll want to work on building strength for your lower back - check out the program on our website as that will help you :) backinshapeprogram.com
When i back bent my lumber spine pain and also around them@@BackInShapeProgram
I have l5/s1 disc herniation, at first not much spasm, and more sciatica. Now after 3 months of rest, my back spasms more. What you recommend? Im still trying to heal. I think spasm creates more pains as well.
I know it sounds a bit blunt, but join the program on our website: backinshapeprogram.com that would be what i would recommend specifically because rest is not a viable or sensible option for long term recovery.
My pain happens about once a year since I hit 40. I consider myself very healthy and this happens-sort of- suddenly when I've been going through continuous stress, both physical and psychological/ emotional stress. The physical stress is working too many hours and sleeping 4-6 hours a day, along with poor nutrition, including poor hydration. I assume it is a sort of protest or defense the body has to do to make me stop... First occurrence I only thought of NISDs but they didn't do anything,
so I went to see doctors but they either didn't know what was going on, or insisted it was a sort of trauma or something else of a serious nature. I KNEW I didn't hurt myself so I refused to listen and just go home and rest. It goes away in 2 weeks. Definitely doing stretches forward will make it worst.
Micronutrients help a lot.
Often back pain can creep up in this manner over many years, the best way to think of it is like a repetitive strain injury. Its the long hours plus other stuff that exploits an area on the lower back and without proper rehab work, it tends to be a downward trend.
As a top tip it's ALWAYS best to start making positive changes when you're feeling good as it saves much of the EXTRA stuff you have to do mid-flare up. but if you do make a start you can get on top of these occurrences and turn things around :)
I have been having lower back pain for three months now and the spine center I went to today (referred to by my doctor) just said that I have been having muscle spasms for three months regardless of my history with a lower back bulging disc that I was diagnosed with when I was younger. I am lost now. How can I tell if it is my disc or not?
The discs will almost always have some degree of involvement however unless it's a raging disc prolapse it's often not considered to "be a disc". It is better for you to work on rehabilitating properly treating the problem as a spinal issue - muscles do not spasm for no reason and they certainly don't do so for months on end. - I would certainly recommend checking out the program on our website and working through that consistently over time. - website: backinshapeprogram.com
My problem is the
right side muscle of my lower back just above the belt line . The muscle starts out strong, walking for 10 to 15 min it starts to spasm again. Then I bend forward to stretch which helps . It doesn't spasm when I sit or right after I sit and walk for a bit. What causes my lower back to spasm periodically. The pain is dull , when I stretch i feel pain in the muscle . Its been over 4 weeks . The pain comes and goes , its very frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You've a lower back injury (spine causing the muscle spasm and symptoms). And are falling into the classic downward spiral with the forward bends that so many fall into, you might find this video helpful ua-cam.com/video/9zLPn1Tbfh0/v-deo.html as well as checking out our program at backinshapeprogram.com/premium - that will help you get this fixed and avoid making mistakes like those you mention above.
we have exact same problem! how did you turn our??
@@max9677 I'm still dealing with the pain . We are working on the insurance to approve physical therapy. They've dragged their feet on it so still waiting.
Getting pain killer and gel but filling no relax. Pls tell me the right way to get rid of it and also tell the duration of the treatment... Thank you..

The same applies, you have a back issue :) and need to work on fixing that :) the L5/S1 - if you neeed help with this do check out the website: backinshapeprogram.com
I'm facing lower back muscles spasm since last 10 days
Hope they're doing better now!
Mine were like an electrocution. I only get them if I hyper extend my back at home or gym. I’ve been to physical therapy for a few months and now to the gym for about a year now. I had a few relapses. Hopefully in another year I can put this behind me. Just awful and feel like I have PTSD over this. Hope your doing better and can find someone who can help.
When I was working out I did pull-ups to failure..and bent over rows..Heavy.. rested a full day..low back only tightened and spasmed once today..will the TENS MACHINE Help ? Wife brought one home but I’m afraid to try it..lol..to me it would stimulate spasm..? Any advice is appreciated
I'd really look at whether your form could have been a little off especially with that kind of superset. if your form isn't really good, then the heavy rows can lead to rounding of the low back. Some ice and decompression work like we teach in the program will be helpful as well as some reflection on what might have happened. - especially if it doesn't feel like your normal DOMS. you can learn more on our website: backinshapeprogram.com
How are you bro now? How long it took for you to heal? Please reply?
@@harish5466 used the tens machine..lots of rest.. then started back slow ..building back up..I’m good to go now.
I've been going through lower back spasm for 2 months , when I go out with the motor cycle it seem to get worst. Do you recommend heat or cold ?
We would recommend joining the program to fix the issue properly to be honest, ice is of course the best option directly on the lower back (spine) but check out more about fixing it properly here: backinshapeprogram.com/premium/
I did leg lunges with just the bar and immediately my lower back started to hurt or spasm. I feel tight with pain. I'm 31 years old and I had back issues since my early 20's.
It would be best to start off with more of the basics, do have a look at our program on the website as it will likely be helpful in guiding you especially if you're approaching a 10 year history of trouble with your back.

@@BackInShapeProgram he said lunge withconly bar what is more.basic than that? Dont sell sh.t
even on 2km slow jogging,im getting pain, whole lower body till feet,,,spasms in calves,,,,wats the prblm sir,wat shld i do?
I am having stiffness or spasm in my lower back while bending backwards? Any advice
Yeah if it’s been going on a while it would likely be best working on something like the towel exercise as well as some stability work for a few weeks to months then revisit the backward bends. Ps the towel exercise is part of the routine on our channel homepage
@@BackInShapeProgram Thanks a lot for your informative words. It means a lot to me
@@shubhamchauhan5144 Its a pleasure
I'm having lower back muscle spasms for past 4 days...no pain at all. It feels kinda weird. Is it normal?
No, but if you've been working out/dehydrated or taking any medications then that could be why. If there is no reason for it and you don't have a history of lower back isseues, its probably worth going to see a Dr.
My mri is normal but I have chronic lower back pain from past 3 months, what could be the reason?
Normal is a bad MRI report so i would get a second opinion :) There are always observations to be made, but it might well be that damage/injury is minor - which is most probably the case.
@@BackInShapeProgram I have seen the mri copy in that there is no disc issue, as per X-ray lower back has become stiff
No problem then @@satishkumarwali7152
I am having lower back spasm for a month now. Its keep coming back after one year and half. Can I show u my mri so that I can understand the root cause.
Hi there Nitin, i would certainly recommend the program to help out, the Premium Membership will likely be more what you need than the basic as it offers more support, link here:

I would definitely check this longer video out then: ua-cam.com/video/8nJpEjGTYjk/v-deo.html It should help a little.

I'v been suffering for 11 years now and 2 back surgeries later I'm so much worse than I was before. Muscles are completely contracted and crushing me to death. Pain, burning, numbness,pins and needles. Sciatica/ not sciatica.
Can't walk,sit, stand, drive myself anymore. SI joint disfuntion and chronic hip disfuntion 🥺
Sorry to hear about your struggle Julie, It will certainly be worth you checking out this podcast episode we did on Surgery for the low back :backinshapeprogram.com/2023/05/how-to-recover-from-lower-back-surgery-with-exercises-your-comprehensive-guide-to-post-op-rehabilitation/
I’m in real pain. I was hoping this guy would have something productive to say. This is a complete waste of time!
Sorry to hear didn't find it helpful.
Thanks for this. Back in April, I had to go to the hospital because I had the WORST back pain I'd ever experienced. My husband, who doesn't even have a license, had to drive me to the hospital because I couldn't move, cough, sneeze, anything, without screaming in severe pain. And I even sat on the sofa for over 12 hours because I knew we couldn't afford an ambulance but I couldn't take the pain anymore. (I'm a veteran, but the closest VA is over an hour away and the VA doesn't guarantee that they'll pay for an ambulance unless you're actively dying 🙄🙄🙄) I was just glad it wasn't sciatica. The pain subsided after about a week, bit then I fell going down the steps to the basement and had a whole extra week of excruciating pain. Now, it's still painful, but only as an uncomfortable sensation, not the stabbing and horrible pain I had when I went to the ER.
Hope your doing better now, do check out some of the podcast episodes here backinshapeprogram.com/podcast/ as they might be of help and of course if you want a little more help with this do check out the full program on the site too.
Fellow veteran you can go to any emergency room that is close. You just have to let them or your primary care know within 72 hours. At the ER, give them your VA medical ID card and they will bill the VA.
@djuanaberuk9908 that's actually what I ended up doing a couple months ago. The issue was that we live a good drive from the nearest non-VA hospital and I'm the only driver in our home.
