Muscle Spasm Market to Observe Strong Development by 2020

Posted by Sachin Darakhe on September 23rd, 2019

Muscle spasm market is involuntary, sudden contraction of muscle or group of muscles of the body. Muscle spasm is also known as muscle cramp or involuntary hypertonicity. Muscle spasm usually occurs after muscular injury and is a sudden blast of high intensity pain, which ceases after five to ten minutes. Muscle spasm, in general condition, does not cause any chronic harm to the body. The most commonly affected muscles are lower leg muscles, front of the thigh and back of the thigh. Additionally, muscles of arms, feet, hands and abdomen are also affected, although the proportion is less.
 
The major causes of muscle spasm include muscular injury, spinal nerve compression, sprains and strains of the muscle (due to overuse) and diabetic ketoacidosis. Additionally, rickets, low blood potassium and sodium, animal instincts, and heat stroke are some of the other important causes of the condition. Since these cramps do not lead to any chronic condition, usually medical diagnosis and treatment is not advised. However, if the condition is persistent for longer period of time, a proper diagnosis is required. Blood test is a major diagnosis test (to understand thyroid functions, potassium and sodium levels) for muscle spasm. Additionally, electromyography is also performed to diagnose the disease.
