What causes leg cramps at night? Causes, prevention and solutions for Nocturnal Leg Cramps
What causes leg cramps at night? Causes, prevention and solutions for Nocturnal Leg Cramps
[ATTACH]77385[/ATTACH]
Studies show around 1/3 of adults aged 60 or more experience nocturnal leg cramps, and nearly one-half of those aged 80 years or more.
Of those affected nearly 40% experience nighttime episodes several days per week.
This annoying condition is exceedingly common in aging adults AND athletes. But it's not just annoying.
Disrupted sleep patterns and frequent waking seriously detract from your quality of life.
Not to mention having to deal with the painful cramp episodes.
If you, or someone you know, has experienced leg cramps at night --- this article is for you.
In this article, we cover:
why nocturnal leg cramps are caused by a completely different condition than typical muscle cramps
why magnesium supplements alone do not solve nocturnal leg cramps
what leading neurophysiological studies show could be the cause and solution
