Why Do My Muscles Cramp?

This topic came up twice in the last two days so I thought I would put together a little information about muscle cramps.  I have suffered with muscle cramps in my gastrocs, quads, and the very painful abdominals throughout my life.  In my case, it is due to dehydration and mineral depletion due to diet, medications and exercise.  Whatever the case may be for you, it is generally treatable if you gently stretch the involved muscle, stay hydrated, eat right, and supplement with minerals if you need to.  








Before I get carried away, this is a great article here on everything muscle cramps.  If you suffer from them I suggest you take a look :  Great Article on Muscle Cramps.   My own remedy includes generously salting my food with a good quality sea salt and taking liquid minerals such as these that you can purchase on Amazon which I have linked to.  I have recommended them to many of my patients who have had successful results.  If you are suffering frequent muscle cramps I suggest you give these a try.

Muscle cramps can also be caused by spinal radiculopathies. when spinal nerves are affected and not working as they should,  which you know by now, Grimm Physiotherapy specializes in.  If you are experiencing neck or low back pain with arm and or leg muscle weakness, then your muscle cramps may be related to this condition.  You know what I am going to say!  "Everyone deserves a Good Mechanical Assessment and Treatment Plan."  Call or text 504-228-0524 to set up your evaluation today!
