What Are the Causes of Chronic Muscle Spasms?
Muscle spasms can be a chronic problem that is extremely painful. In many cases, chronic muscle spasms are the result of overused or damaged muscles that have been torn or strained. Unfortunately, muscle spasms can also lead to other lower back problems that are chronic and can make the spasms even worse. Common treatment for this type of problem is rest and hot and cold compresses against the skin. However, if the spasms become chronic and do not go away, a physician may prescribe a muscle relaxant medication.
