Hi RainbowAbyss,
I'd recommend going to see a doctor to make sure it is a tear. If it isn't a tear I agree with Benjamin. I had severe back problems and scoliosis (which had one hip way higher than the other) and I went to a Clinical Somatic Educator. Somatics is a movement therapy similar to Feldenkrais, though in my opinion faster working. It completely resolved both of my issues very quickly. I was so excited about it I learned to do it myself.
The principle is that when muscles stay chronically contracted (tight or spasming) it is the brain causing this to happen due to habituation of a muscular pattern. Basically you've grooved a movement pattern so strongly that it has become subconsciously turned on all the time. To get out of it you need to do movements that force the brain to move that area very consciously. In its most simplistic form, it involves moving very slowly like a lying down tai chi but with a focus on the transition of movement not chi. It works to restore full muscular control with the end result being more relaxed muscles.
If your curious to know more let me know.
