Having a spasm in your back muscle every once in awhile is normal, but frequent spasms are not. If you suffer from persistent back muscle spasms, they can cause a considerable amount of discomfort that can stop you from enjoying your regular activities and participating in sports. At NuView Health Medical, we offer chiropractic care in NYC for back muscle spasms.

Causes of Back Muscle Spasms

You can end up with back muscle spasms after working, playing a sport or doing another activity that causes you to strain your muscles. Overusing your back muscles or putting too much pressure on them can result in strains or sprains that lead to spasms. You can also have spasms from arthritis or disc problems that affect the nerves. When you have these spasms, it means that your affected back muscles are tensing in an involuntary manner.

Chiropractic Care for Back Muscle Spasms

Chiropractic adjustments to your spine can help relieve back muscle spasms. Our chiropractic doctor can realign your entire spine, which removes pressure from nerves for pain relief and supports healing by improving blood flow. Bringing your spine into the right alignment helps reduce involuntary tensing while allowing your muscles to recover. Our chiropractor might also recommend physical therapy if adjustments alone do not provide enough relief.
