Answers:
Try to localize the muscle where the spasm exists
Perform slow stretches of the muscle and stroke it with an ice bag in the direction of stretching
Make strokes for 15 seconds to 1 min, whenever you feel the spasm
You can stretch all your back muscles by sitting cross legged and reaching forward with arms completely stretched!. Or you can do it while squatting (if pain extends to gluteal region)!.
Maintain the stretch for 30 sec!. You can deviate your trunk away from the painful side while in stretched position!.
Take care, Muslimah!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try using a heating pad and taking some ibuprofen!. When you sleep at night, prop a couple pillows under your knees to take the pressure off your lower back!. If the pain persists, you may want to consider seeing a chiropractor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
