Causes Of Muscle Spasms

What is certain movements or positions that make your muscles spasm want? What are the dynamics of a muscle spasm (ie making them happen and what is their purpose?) Any means of reducing pain or stopping them when they occur?

Thank you ...

Lack of potassium can cause muscle spasms. Obviously stretching a region that is prone to make it worse and went into spasm. I get mine late at night and especially in my hands (I am 34) It could also be due to underlying nerve damage somewhere too. I spondylosis (deterioration of the spinal cord) due to a serious car accident three years ago and I have spasms everywhere especially when I am preparing to sleep. You can see if you can set up primary doc with a commitment of Neuro.

It has to do with nerves and communication with the neuro pathways of the brain, the movement control. Some people have bad nerves due to weather, trauma, stress or emotional problems. There are of course causes a lot more for this year and I should write an essay to mention all.

If you have bad nerves, see if the weather or physical activity are the cause. You can buy support from the local pharmacy to keep the muscles more knit, so that buffets are minimized. If all else fails, consult your local doctor and he will refer you to a specialist (such as physiotherapy) to fight against this problem.

Normally, it is really not much to be too concerned unless it becomes painful and permanent.
