Muscle Spasms and Cramps Treatment in Eastbourne

A sudden, sharp cramp can stop you in your tracks or jolt you out of sleep with no warning. Muscle spasms are your body’s way of protecting something, but when they become frequent or unpredictable, they may limit your ability to move comfortably and confidently.
People in Eastbourne often come to Cornerstone Chiropractic after trying stretches, hydration, or massage with only partial relief.
Why Do Spasms and Cramps Happen?
Muscle tissue is incredibly responsive. When nerves misfire or joints don’t move well, the surrounding muscles may tense up to “guard” the area. This might protect you in the short term, but over time, it creates tightness, reduced mobility, and that familiar shooting pain or uncontrollable twitch.
Many people think cramps are just muscular, but often they’re the result of your brain trying to stabilise something it perceives as a threat. Common culprits include:
- Spinal joint misalignment
- Dehydration or nutritional imbalances
- Nerve irritation affecting the way muscles receive signals
- Previous injuries that never fully resolved
- Overtraining or prolonged inactivity
How Chiropractic May Help Release the Tension
We begin with a detailed evaluation to determine whether your cramps are related to spinal function, joint restriction, or nerve compression. If we find connections, care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, guided mobility work, or lifestyle changes to reduce triggers.
Rather than simply relaxing tight muscles, our focus is on improving how the nervous system communicates with the body. Many clients report fewer spasms, better flexibility, and more trust in their body’s movement after care.
