Muscle cramps are common during the summer, but dehydration isn’t always the only cause. Heat, electrolyte imbalances, overuse, and muscle fatigue can all contribute.
Most cramps resolve with hydration and rest, but persistent or recurring cramps deserve attention. Identifying the underlying cause early can help prevent more serious injuries.
Stay Ahead of Cramps
• Drink fluids before you’re thirsty.
• Replace electrolytes after prolonged exercise.
• Warm up gradually.
• Stretch after activity.
Call iOrtho If
• Cramps are accompanied by swelling.
