What causes spasms in abdominal and spinal area?
Patient: I am a healthy 96-year old woman. I recently had spasms in my abdominal -spinal area. I had a heart 3 months ago but continue to do my chosen work and enjoy my daily life. I had an ekg, a CT skan@blood tests which were all satisfactory. Can you tell me what other subjects I could study to determine the cause of the back spasms. Thank you Doctor: hiback spasm in old age is due to degenerative changes in spine commonly by osteoarthritis.treatment is by physical therapy,heat ,massage and application of relaxyl geland, if, spasm moderate, then chloraxozone tabs.consult a orthopedic doctor and have x ray spinedonethanks
