Muscle Spasm treatment in Tuxtla Gutierrez

A muscle spasm is an involuntary, sudden contraction of one or more muscles, which may feel like a hardening or a brief pain in the affected area.

Common causes: It is usually related to overexertion, fatigue, dehydration, poor posture, or imbalances of mineral salts; at times it accompanies other muscle conditions.

When to see a doctor? It is a good idea to seek care when the spasms are frequent, very painful, limit movement, or do not improve with rest.

Which specialist treats it? The physical therapist and the physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist work with these conditions, and sports medicine is useful when they are linked to physical activity. Having persistent spasms evaluated by a professional helps find their cause.
