CHIROPRACTIC CARE I suffer with a lot of muscle cramping in the winter months in my legs and back. I am active and have no major illnesses, so other than massaging the area, is there anything else I can do at home to prevent them? A Muscle cramping usually occurs secondary to dehydration, muscle fatigue, and/or poor dietary intake of minerals. At home, drink 2 liters of water per day, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated beverages, and consume food and supplements rich in magnesium. Make sure you stretch and rest post increased physical activity and contact your physician if the above recommendations do not reduce your symptomatology within three weeks, to investigate further.
