Hi,

You have a mild form of arthritis that is enough for your body to cause sever back muscle spasm. Since it is from a long time both your deep and superficial back muscles will be involved with multiple trigger points. Hot packs with exercises like Back press, Diaphragmatic breathing, Keagles Active back movements, Walking or jogging, Yoga (all exercises should be pain free and all should be done gradually without any strain). Also comfortable sleeping mattress, and following proper work and daily activities ergonomics will help in pain reduction.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks,
Dr. Jenis Bhalavat
