Back muscles can spasm because of:
Some conditions that can cause spasms include:
The short answer is "concentrated lactic acid." Concentrated lactic acid can get trapped in the spindle in the muscle fiber and can not get out. When this lactic acid gets trapped in the muscle spindle the feedback nerves that are protected in the muscle spindle can only send a weak signal to the cerebellum. A weak signal from the feedback nerve to the cerebellum tells the cerebellum to contract a muscle. The feedback nerve is trying to send a strong signal which would tell the cerebellum to relax but because the concentrated lactic acid is trapped in the spindle and interfering with the feedback nerve the correct signal can not get to the brain. As a result the muscle keeps contracting and it never relaxes. The muscles gets stuck in this "bad signal loop" which causes many other problems in the body.
Healthy muscles will do what they are supposed to do, contract and relax, because they can. Unhealthy muscles contract and never relax. This is a very painful state to be in when it happens to you. A muscle in this state is called a hypertonic muscle or a muscle in spasm. To read about why muscles contract and never relax go to: www.neurosoma.com. Thomas Griner is the foremost expert on muscle spasms and he has developed a way to treat this unhealthy muscle condition. Most MDs study muscle physiology for 5 hours or less in med school and are virtually ignorant as to why muscles go into spasm. They have no idea how muscles function and as a result have no idea why they malfunction. If someone has no idea why something malfunctions they are not going to have any idea how to fix the problem.
Luckily for all of us Thomas Griner understands muscle physiology and devoted his life to treating and helping people. When you read his work you will understand that most people are walking around with muscles in spasm and most people's Back pain, hip pain, joint pain, etc. are a result of muscles in spasm. Thomas Griner also wrote a book with a patient of his that he helped called, "What's Really Wrong With You?"
There are several herbs for muscle pain(anti-inflammatories) such as: devil's claw, frankincense, and even ginger. I use bromelain and find it works. The bromelain I use is a standardized extract. From what I have read, tumeric is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory.
Muscle spasms can often be caused by mineral imbalances. Supplementation with Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium can lessen them. Also make sure you have enough "B" vitamins because nerve function and the firing of the muscle fibers can be caused by a lack of nutrients in this respect as well.
Sharp spasms on the lower left side of the back is caused by overuse of a muscle, injury, or a possible tear. The sharp pain is a muscle spasm.
There are a few underlying causes for back spasms. It could be caused by stress, a strain, sciatica, a pulled muscle, over exertion and lack of physical activity.
Yes it can, especially if it is on or near the sciatic nerve.
Could be that you "tense up" during your dream, and when your muscles finally relax when you wake up, the blood flows back into them which can cause cramping. You could also be low on calcium or have poor circulation. Check it out with your doctor.
I have back spasms.
No, back spasms would't cause a person to collapse. More likely, a spasm causes a person to abruptly stand still, bend in the direction that gives the most relief, and causes a "seizing" or tightness in the back muscles that are affected. Typically, if the person can lean or bend holding onto a wall or piece of furniture, or sit or lie down, the spasm eases and the person can move about again. Most back pain has spasms of varying degrees.
The prognosis for recovery from chronic pain depends on the underlying cause.
Spasms are the constriction of muscles, which can result in pain in different areas of the body. Spasms can be caused by many things such as injury, over working a certain group of muscles, and starting a new exercise routine too quickly and without proper warm up.
It can when there is a point where nerves pas between joints where cartilage that normally holds the bone apart becomes thin or disappears, causing pressure to be put on the nerve which in turn can effect muscles elsewhere in the body.
Back spasms are very painful cramps in the back muscles. The pain can be the consequence of overdoing it through an athletic workout or just moving erroneous while getting out of bed or even doing a household chore. Most of the back spasms will affect the lower area of the back. You can lighten the pain of a muscle cramp in the back through certain home remedies. https://globalinfocus.com/perfect-home-remedies-for-back-spasms
If you have a twitch on the left lower back, it might be a muscle spasm or even a pinched nerve. This could also be related to vertebral damage or back spasms in the muscles.
The main muscle that is involved with expelling the stomach contents (vomiting) is the Transverse Abdominus muscle. This particular muscle is the deepest abdominal muscle and is responsible for stabilisation, especially for the lower back. After ongoing vomiting, this muscle becomes fatigued and temporarily not be able to stabilise and support thus placing you at great risk of back injury and spasms.

Back spasms and Migraine can be comorbid. This means they are separate conditions that one person has at the same time. Spasms can also trigger Migraine in susceptible individuals. See your physician or headache specialist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and headache disorders.
