that will depend upon several factors, not limited to: the cause of the spasm, the exact muscle in spasm, the overall health and fitness of the patient, permitting ample healing time, whether or not an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) or analgesic used to treat the symptoms...They can be short term lasting only a day or so, but left untreated, un-rested, can go on chronically.

What triggers a spasm?

a muscle spasm occurs when the muscles have been tense for a long period of time and then you make a sudden movement and it causes it to spasm. I have suffered with muscle spasm's in my back for about a year now due to a back injury and this is what my doctor has told me, it can be treated with diazapam to relax the muscle's.

How many days it takes to heal back muscle spasm?

1-2 weeks, though that depends on quite a few factors; 1. How bad is it? 2. How completely are you resting it? 3. How fast do you generally heal from other muscle injuries like soreness, strains, and bruises? 4. How hard do you normally exercise said muscle with everyday use? 5. Are you treating the cause of the spasm? Obviously, a minor spasm takes less time than a major one. But the difference can be from a small caution but otherwise normal use for a day or two, to fear of the muscle cramping with every movement for days before it starts to lighten up. If you try to work through it you may prolong the effects by up to 3x the time needed if you were resting it. Try to keep use of the muscle to a minimum, use your other arm, sit down when you can, and basically just use (un)common sense. The third point is self explanatory. And if you heal fast then you will probably make it out in just a few days. the opposite is true with slow healers. The harder the muscle is used to working the more likely that it is able to heal faster. In addition, the greater the jump between normal use and resting the muscle, the more resources can be used to heal it. Regular sleep helps greatly as well. And of course, all this is wasted effort if you will just cause a spasm in another muscle or the same one again. Spasms and cramps are thought to be caused by depletion or imbalances of water, energy, and minerals in the muscles. Drinking water till your urine is clear and stays clear as well as taking a daily multivitamin will go a long way to relieving and preventing your spasms.

How long does it take for a muscle wound to heal?

The healing time of a muscle wound is greatly affected by factors such as the muscle injured and severity of injury. It is generally accepted; however, that the normal tearing down of muscles caused by strenuous exercise requires 48 hours to heal and strengthen. People who work out every day usually circumvent this by working out different muscle groups every day while the others heal.
