Causes and treatment of back muscle cramps =======================
There are many possible causes, including poor posture, overuse of muscles, and stretching, that lead to **lower back cramps**. People who suffer from cramping and frequent pain in the lower back should see a pain specialist. In fact, cramping or spasm in the back is an involuntary contraction of the muscle in this area. This condition can be accompanied by severe pain that makes it difficult for you to move.... Back spasms can usually be treated without surgery... If the back pain is related to nerve problems in the spine, it may need to be treated by a doctor.
Possible causes of back cramps This condition usually occurs due to injuries or inflammation.... In some people, the cause of the spasm may be a minor problem such as mild pressure. However, in some people, a serious underlying condition such as a ruptured or herniated disc of the spine contributes to such a problem. Some of the more common causes of back pain can include: ### Bad situation Improper body position, especially when sitting at the desk or while driving, puts pressure on the back muscles, eventually the person suffers from back cramps with pain. ### Not doing sports activities Usually, people who spend most of their time during the day sitting or hunched at the desk, over time, their back muscles and other parts of the body become weak. The back tries to compensate for such weakness, which can eventually be associated with spasms... in fact, sitting for a long time can also lead to muscle spasms caused by muscle weakness and inflammation. ### Excessive use of muscles and pain after exercise Overuse of any muscle can lead to muscle cramps within days.... Some people experience a condition called "delayed muscle soreness" after exercise. ### Sprained back A sprain is an injury to a ligament.... This condition can also include a tendon or muscle tear.... These cases cause muscle cramps and pain in the lower back. Excessive stretching in the lower back area or falling down are common causes of sprains and strains in the lower back area... Sometimes overuse of muscles also causes sprains. These types of injuries often heal on their own, but can be very painful for several weeks with back cramps.

### nerve damage Conditions that damage the back nerves lead to cramping and pain....radiculopathy nerve damage is one of the most common of these problems.. Such a disorder is caused by inflammation, compression or damage to the nerve root in the spine. Radiculopathy can lead to tingling along with pain.... Some people may experience a sensation like a muscle spasm, even if it isn't. Sciatica is another problem caused by radiculopathy... Read more: Sciatica treatment without surgery Patients with sciatica feel pain that reaches from the pelvis to the leg.. but the pain may also spread to the lower back. Diabetes, spinal cord injuries, and some other conditions that cause nerve problems can mimic back cramps and spasms. ### Disc disorders The discs between the lumbar vertebrae prevent the lumbar vertebrae from touching each other... If the discs are damaged, the patient will feel severe back pain. One of the most common vertebral disc injuries is known as a herniated disc, in which the disc is compressed and protrudes from the spine. Sometimes a herniated disc can rupture and eventually cause more pain, this condition can be similar to a back spasm. herniated and ruptured discs make it difficult for a person to exercise or move....over time, this condition can cause muscle weakness that leads to back cramps. ### Stress and anxiety Stress is another factor that causes back cramps.... Some people unconsciously contract their muscles or produce more adrenaline in response to stress. Stress reduces a person's motivation, which can lead to lack of physical activity.... All these factors contribute to muscle cramps. ### Spondylolisthesis creating a crack or fracture in one of the bones of the spine leads to "spondylolisthesis".. Following such conditions, the patient suffers from back cramps.... This disease is one of the most common causes of back pain in young athletes. ### Spine structure problems A curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis, may cause muscle spasms in the lower back... Over time, this abnormality in the spine makes the patient less mobile and can lead to muscle weakness, which ultimately aggravates back spasms.
### Spinal canal stenosis Spinal canal stenosis Over time, the spinal canal narrows.. This condition puts pressure on the spinal nerves and eventually causes pain that resembles a muscle spasm. Some people will have poor posture or a less active lifestyle following this disease, which worsens muscle spasms. ### Arthritis Arthritis can lead to pain in the back that looks like a back spasm... but actually the main problem is in the spine joint.... Like other diseases that we have mentioned to you, arthritis also reduces the activity of people, which leads to weakness and muscle spasms. ### Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is an unknown chronic disease that causes pain and sensitivity in different areas of the body. Many people with this disease experience muscle cramps. Diagnosis of back cramps Diagnosing this disease can be a bit challenging... For example, to diagnose fibromyalgia, the doctor may need to rule out possible diseases in order to finally diagnose this disease. When you see a doctor, he or she will first ask about your medical history and ask for details about back cramps. Sometimes a physical exam or imaging scan of the back and spine may also be needed....If you have other symptoms, they may do more tests to see if it's related to back spasms. Treatment of back cramps One of the possible cases that the doctor considers for your treatment is doing physical therapy... In general, the treatment is considered based on the causes of the symptoms. Sometimes doing exercise and stretching exercises may help to treat some of the possible causes of back cramps.. but it is not enough by itself.. Possible treatment solutions are as follows: - housing - Physiotherapy - Surgery to repair damaged disc - Surgery to relieve pressure from the spine - Prescribing antidepressants or other drugs to control stress or the impact of pain on mental health Exercise and prevention To prevent muscle spasms and cramps and back pain: - Daily stretching and strengthening exercises (exercises to relieve back cramps) - Yoga and relaxing movements - Compliance with correct ergonomics when sitting and lifting objects - Stress management Difference between muscle cramps and lumbar disc Back muscle spasms are usually short-term and localized... Lumbar disc can cause severe and chronic pain that spreads to the legs...
