What Is Causing Muscle Spasm In The Lower Back
Muscles spasm is a part of almost all injuries, even a stomach ache comes with muscle spasm, but understanding how muscle spasm is caused and how it impacts lower back injuries will help you make better decisions when it comes to remedying the back injury itself. Ultimately, this will lead to better results and lasting recovery from back pain.
The first major mistake is that people view back muscle spasm as the problem in itself, and of course, it certainly doesn’t make the problem or injury better. The problem however, with this error in judgement is the resultant actions we take when we assume the primary problem is the muscles spasm rather than the injury. If you can first shift the way you view back muscle spasm, to an injury first, muscle spasm second approach you’re ready to start getting results.
When you view the problem in the right way we can start to understand that we want to build the strength of these muscles that protect the spine. We also want to re-learn how to control for good movement at the level of the spine and hips.
By learning to brace (protect) your spine with a good muscular corset, and then use your hips to do the moving, you’ll find your back is much less aggravated and less room for muscles to spasm as a result. This leads to more progress, less pain, and finally, you getting back to the things you love sooner!
From here, you can then work on more objective strengthening of the muscular chains that support and protect your lower back, building the resilience of your body. With all of these steps the Back In Shape Program can help you each and every step of the way!
