Avoid the Warning Signs with the Cure of Lower Calf Pain
by Mark O'Brien Physical TherapistThe calf is the posterior portion of the lower leg. In this particular section the two largest muscles together are known as calf muscle. The muscles pass up to heel region and attached to the heel with the help of Achilles tendon. The medical results show various calf swelling reasons such as Achilles tendon rupture, compartment syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins and many others. The Achilles tendon is the strongest and thickest about 15 centimeters long tendon that begins from the middle portion of the calf. The direct trauma, sudden activation or intense participation in sports and jerking motion results in injury.
Compartment syndrome is a limb threatening condition due to insufficient amount of blood supply to the nerves and muscles. In the deep vein thrombosis there is a formation of blood clot in deep vein and results in life threatening complications. The veins in the leg have leaflet valves that prevent the backward flow of the blood. The muscles in the leg pump the veins for returning the blood to heart, the process is known as calf muscle pump mechanism. The pump performs against the effect of gravity. In varicose veins the valves do not work properly due to the improper meet of leaflets of valves.
The process of lower calf pain treatment demands the proper resting conditions. The common causes of cramps include the low amount of calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium like elements in the blood. If we talk about the diuretics and statins conditions then both also becomes the reasons of leg pain. In the diuretic condition there is too much loss of fluids and minerals. The statins process relates to lower cholesterol that will result in muscle injury. The person has to use the gentle massage and stretching processes on cramped muscles. The use of elastic bandages that supports the leg posture.
The fatigue or strain conditions of muscle are due to the overstretching of muscle, hairline crack in bone (due to hold the muscle in same position for a long time) and inflamed tendons (a pain in leg due to overuse). For the lower calf pain treatment the person has to manage the overweight like conditions and choose the comfortable well fitted shoes. In the specific circumstances person has to consult the physicians especially with the indications of swollen or red painful leg and worse pain during walk and exercise processes. The healthcare provider properly performs a physical examination for the diagnosis of cause of the pain.
The person has to exactly describe his condition related to the location of pain, exact timings of worse pain, the proper practice such as exercise or long period of standing that makes worse feeling of pain and particular posture that provides better feeling. The person has to take care about the specific conditions of blood sugar control, reduction in heart risk factors such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, carefully perform the physical activities with the use of warm up processes. There must be a proper intake of nutritional diet by avoiding all the bad habits of alcohol, tobacco and smoke.
