How is muscle spasm treated

Method 1: muscle spasm is very common in our life, and the treatment of muscle spasm can be divided into two parts, one is the treatment of acute phase, the other is the treatment of the root cause.

Method 2: treatment in acute phase. That is to say, when the cramp occurs, the patient needs to rest immediately, massage the cramped part gently, and lengthen the muscle of the cramped part slightly, because when you lengthen the muscle, the tension of the tendon will increase. When the tension reaches a certain strength, the nerve will transmit the impulse to the brain, and the brain will release the message to relax the cramped muscle in order to avoid tendon injury. Don't use too much force to lengthen the muscle, so as to avoid secondary injury. After a short time of muscle cramp treatment, you can return to the competition field, but the possibility of recurrence is still very high. If muscle cramps for a long time, you can use hot or cold compress method to reduce pain, or local spray or wipe some loose muscle pain medicine or ointment is also very effective. If it is easy to have cramps again, it is necessary to consider whether the muscle is overtired or dehydrated. The former needs to stop activities and rest, while the latter needs to supplement water and electrolytes.

Method 3: treatment of the root cause. People who suffer from cramps must first understand their own "history", such as their eating habits, the amount of pressure exerted on them by daily exercise (work), the location of cramps, the weather conditions at the time of cramps, and so on. The causes of cramps in wrestling, free riding, or fencing players may be completely different The type of exercise you are engaged in is also an item you need to know to find out the cause of the cramp. After all the comprehensive understanding, find out the causes of cramps, and make prevention and improvement for the causes, in order to solve the problem of cramps. If you have frequent cramps and can't find out the cause, you should handle them carefully and consult your doctor for a thorough examination, because cramps may be a symptom of some vascular diseases, diabetes or nervous system diseases.
