The affected muscles then become inflamed and over stretched, which may also lead to the weakening of the muscle fibers. Over straining of the muscles while doing physical exercises or any household activities which involve a lot of bending and stretching are some causative factors for lower back muscle spasms. An incorrect position while sitting, sleeping or standing and jerky movements can result in muscle cramps which may be painful.

If the muscles are not 'conditioned' and lubricated as a result of dehydration can cause muscle spasms in lower back.
