Muscle Cramps Treatment and Causes 

Muscle cramps treatment: Muscle tissues can be found in almost every part of the body, from the head, neck, limbs, torso and the lower limbs, they stretch to cover the body and are always in close association with the skeletal system to help us carry out all types of movement and physical activities necessary to sustain life. A large percentage of the energy produced from the breakdown of food and respiration are used for muscular functions, but in some cases, the muscles can also be the source of pain.

Maybe you are working or just sitting to relax, then that freezing sharp pain jots in to leave us stretching and writhing to find some relief. These bouts of pain that comes from the muscles, usually in the lower limb, are actually caused by irregular spasms, but when the spasms become more painful and drag on for some time, it is referred to as muscle cramps.

What causes muscle cramps?

Our muscles are always at work, while we are running, walking or even resting; they keep contracting and relaxing to maintain balance and posture. Sometimes, these muscles contract involuntarily which results in an almost visible pull of the muscles that can cause very excruciating pains.

Muscle cramps are quite common and happen to everyone, although they occur more frequently in older people, they also happen in children. All the muscles in our body that can be controlled voluntarily are subject to cramps. When these cramps become too regular and prolonged, it can be signs of some underlying problems.

Muscle cramps can result from many causes and some of the most common of these include:

Dehydration: This is a very common cause of muscle cramps, especially during physical activity like sports, it occurs frequently in athletes and during warm weather, when the excessive loss of body fluid through perspiration can easily lead to dehydration, resulting in muscle cramps. Dehydration also causes depletion in body sodium levels, which is associated with cramps.

Physical activity: Engaging in strenuous physical activity can also have a toll on the muscle, causing what is known as muscle fatigue. This also occurs when you engage in a physical exercise that your body is not accustomed to, which then results in cramps. Sometimes these cramps can occur a while after engaging in this physical activity.

Rest cramps: Muscle cramps can occur while you are asleep, and this is quite common. These cramps have been found to be cause by certain movements that shorten the muscle, such as stretching the toes while asleep which shortens the calf muscle of the leg and leads to a cramp.
