What Exactly Are Muscle Spasms?

Let’s get all sciency for a moment here – muscle spasms are involuntary contractions that occur suddenly and can be extremely painful. Usually they don’t last long, but can be intense enough to make grown men cry like little babies.

Spasms can occur anywhere in your body where there is voluntary control over muscles; however, common areas include legs (especially calf muscles), toes, and fingers – essentially any place that has ever caused discomfort when wearing flip flops or trying to pull off an air guitar solo

What Causes These Pesky Spasms?

There could be several factors contributing to sporadic instances of these involuntary contractions including dehydration, poor nutrition, lack of exercise/muscle fatigue, poor circulation or nerve damage. Not very reassuring is it?

If the frequency/amount/severity of your burns become really concerning, then it might also indicate underlying health issues such as thyroid problems (aka potato face syndrome)or multiple sclerosis (that means more than one scars sorry kids)Regardless though, simply understanding what causes our muscles spasming makes finding relief much easier eventually…trust us on this one!

Let’s Get Down To The Creamy Center: Solutions!

Now that we know what muscle spasms are and why they occur, let’s discuss the solutions! And lucky for you, there are many ways to relieve these pesky cramps.

Solution 1: Stretch It Out

Stretching is one of the best remedies for muscle spasms. The easiest way to stretch out a specific area is by holding it in a stretched position for at least 30 seconds. Take note here ladies and gents: that means static stretching which usually involves no bouncing movement whatsoever.

A great example if your calf muscles are leadpiped – go ahead and stand facing a wall or other sturdy vertical surface with both palms flat against it slightly more than arm’s length apart from each other then put your weight on your toes coming as far up on them as possible without pain- hold this position till tomorrow morning….just kidding hopefully you can get away with around 20 seconds repeated three times in one session before moving onto any different stretches..

Solution 2: Hydrate Yourself

As mentioned earlier dehydration could also cause sporadic incidents of cramping, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day – coffee doesn’t count FYI Drinking alcohol causes dehydration too BTW…who knew?

Solution 4: Maintain Proper Circulation

Maintaining proper circulation is another effective way to avoid muscle spasms. One of the best ways to do this is by staying active–sit on it doesn’t count unfortunately If you have an office job that requires sitting for extended periods, make sure to stand up and stretch often. Alternatively, ask your boss (politely) for an adjustible desk or even one of those giant rubber balls people sit one–those almost look fun anyways.

Solution 5: Use Warm/Cold Compression

If the above solutions don’t work immediately, then it’s time to bring out some heat/cold therapy! You can either apply a cold temperature pack over affected area OR encourage blood flow using warm compressions through massage (although if one chooses self-massage,a ball maybe below or foam roller would do) As usual minor burns go with heat while major ones prefer ice – just remember don’t skimp on the surrounding areas!
