What Are Muscle Spasms and Cramps?
Muscle spasms, also known as cramps, are sudden, involuntary contractions of one or more muscles. They can cause sharp pain and tightness, making movement difficult. These spasms can last from a few seconds to several minutes and are often caused by dehydration, nerve compression, poor circulation, or mineral imbalances.
Common Causes of Muscle Spasms and Cramps
➡️ Dehydration – Lack of water and electrolytes (like potassium, calcium, and magnesium) can lead to muscle cramps.
➡️ Poor Blood Circulation – Insufficient blood supply to the muscles can cause spasms.
➡️ Nerve Compression – Conditions like sciatica and herniated discs can irritate nerves and cause muscle tightness.
➡️ Overuse and Fatigue – Repetitive movements, excessive exercise, or prolonged standing can strain muscles.
➡️ Mineral Deficiencies – Low levels of magnesium, potassium, or calcium can trigger muscle cramps.
➡️ Cold Temperatures – Exposure to cold can make muscles contract and cause spasms.
➡️ Stress and Anxiety – Tension and mental stress can lead to involuntary muscle contractions.
