What Causes Muscle Cramps?

Muscle cramps most often affect the legs, but they can also occur in the arms, hands, feet, abdomen and elsewhere. Common causes of cramping include:

Dehydration: Dehydration is one of the most common causes of cramping. This makes muscle cramps an early warning sign of heat exhaustion. People are particularly susceptible to dehydration when exercising in hot conditions, so athletes who participate in warm-weather sports often experience cramps.
Physical strain: You may develop muscle cramps after strenuous physical activity . Alternately, you may experience cramps if your muscles are tense due to a lack of activity or adequate stretching.
Mineral depletion: Having insufficient potassium, calcium or magnesium in the blood can contribute to muscle cramps. Sweating can deplete these electrolytes, as can certain medications.
Pregnancy: People who are pregnant often experience leg cramps due to circulation changes, low electrolyte levels and increased pressure on the nerves.

How IV Therapy Can Help With Cramps

Mineral depletion and dehydration both contribute to muscle cramps. In addition to drinking water and increasing the amount of calcium, magnesium and potassium in your diet, you may consider an IV for cramps to address your symptoms. Because an IV introduces fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, the body can absorb them quickly and in high concentrations.

The Myer's Cocktail we recommend contains magnesium, making it ideal for addressing muscle cramps caused by mineral depletion.
