I have had good luck doing yoga (after a few weeks of physical therapy to start). I probably waited too long before I finally went to the dr. I walked into the PT with a limp and when I was through with the evaluation, I didn't limp anymore.
I don't really enjoy yoga like some people do, but it really has helped with both my back and my neck.

After a couple of days applying ice for abut 20 minutes at a time several times a day, then use the heat alternately with the ice. Gradually resume walking. Once you are recovered take up an exercise routine that strengthens you core. If you have a gym nearby employ the aid of a certified trainer who can teach you the moves. I can tell you from my own experience that's the long term secret to avoiding the hassle of such spasms.
