A painful muscle spasm typically occurs when your spine is out of alignment. The affected joint will also tighten, swell, and become inflamed.
With rest, the pain might go away and you might feel like yourself again, but the misalignment is frequently still present and puts you at risk of suffering further harm.
This is the reason why some people “put their back out” frequently. Every time, the same area is misaligned more and more.
Over time, these misalignments accumulate in layers and can result in severe pain as well as other symptoms like stiffness, muscle tension, pain in other joints, and poor posture.
Unfortunately, the goal of many other types of treatment is to treat the symptoms rather than the cause.
Even if pain relief is experienced using these techniques, it does not necessarily follow that the underlying issue has been resolved.
Overall, they do not improve your condition over time, which is bad for your long-term health.
