Most muscle spasms can be managed - once there source or etiology is determined. So yes, there are several pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological options available. A full medical and psychosocial evaluation is necessary to make the 'right' option work for you.

There is no "spasm" in a strict sense but painful/tightened muscle/fascia due to strain that acts up from time to time. Such mechanically jammed tissue must be mechanically released. It can only be resolved by the body itself to initiate self-healing via light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method. Back pain usually takes 1-2 hours to cure. Medications, as well as other modalities/procedures of physical therapy (hot/cold application, electrotherapy, massage, manipulation, etc.), are not effective, stretching/strengthening can aggravate the injury and should be avoided. Back surgery is the wrong thing to do.
Physical Therapy can help with muscle spasms by using techniques such as stretching, massage, heat or cold therapy, electrical stimulation, and exercises to increase flexibility and strength, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of spasms. In addition to traditional methods, physical therapists now also use newer modalities like dry needling, which targets trigger points to relieve tension and spasms, and ultrasound therapy, which uses sound waves to promote healing and reduce muscle spasms. Aquatic therapy is another innovative approach, utilizing the properties of water to gently strengthen and relax muscles, often helping to alleviate spasms more comfortably.
