Muscle cramps can happen suddenly and painfully—but what actually causes them? While the exact reason is still not fully understood, many experts believe that inadequate stretching and muscle fatigue can disrupt the body’s natural mechanisms that control muscle contraction.

Can you guess some of the other contributing factors?

A. Working or exercising in intense heat
B. Dehydration
C. Low electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, or magnesium)
D. All of the above

Most cramps are harmless and short-lived, but frequent or severe muscle cramps can be a sign of an underlying musculoskeletal or nerve issue.

If muscle cramps are interrupting your day—or your sleep—our specialists can help identify the cause and guide you toward effective treatment and prevention.
