For it to come and go so quickly, I would say this is muscular. But most likely there is an underlying trouble with your discs, etc. which is why your muscles are going into contraction.
You could try:

1) "Static back position" (Do a Google search)
or
2) "Hand leg opposite glides" Do a Google search)
