I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

Treatment for back pain and spasms usually consists in a combination of physical therapy and medication. Medication used are over the counter pain killers like Ibuprofen and muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine, however they only alleviated the symptoms the best means of addressing the issue is physical therapy, it's very important. If the pain persists for over 4-6 weeks you should be checked by a doctor because imaging may be required to search for uncommon causes. If there are signs like trouble urinating, weakness of the legs, high fever even sooner than 4 weeks.

I hope to have been of help.
