a muscle relaxant helps to reduce any spasm in the muscles in the back

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is a muscle relaxant.

Muscle spasm can contribute to back pain so the use of a muscle relaxant would help to reduce the tension in the muscles.

Spasm can occur around any bones that are giving problems or as a result of restricted movements in certain directions.

This is the reason that a muscle relaxant can be used for back pain. It is usually combined with a pain killer in most cases.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
