Muscle cramps may disappear on their own, but there are some things that can be done to lessen their severity and longevity. Below are some of the things that can be done to treat muscle cramps.
Stop activity that triggered the muscle cramp
Gently stretch the affected muscle
Keep the affected muscle moving with light activity (standing and walking around)
Massage the affected area to aid blood flow
Drink Vitalyte and replenish electrolytes
To prevent the occurrence of cramps, health specialists advice individuals who workout to drink plenty of water or sports drinks to replace lost electrolytes during training. In addition to hydration, individuals who engage in exercise and other physical activities should give importance to pre-workout activities like warming-up and stretching. These activities may increase flexibility and improve blood flow which may prevent the occurrence of muscle cramps.
