Answer 2

The answer depends on the type and cause of your muscle spasms. Depending on the cause, you might see a sports doctor, an orthopedist, a physiatrist, endocrinologist, or neurologist, or specialist in occupational medicine. Start with your primary care provider, who can start completing a history and physical that will help guide the next steps.

Assuming that it is a spasm of the back muscles, manipulation works faster than rest or medication. Self treatment with ice is a good pain reliever.
