Foot cramps are painful muscle spasms that can strike suddenly and interfere with daily activities. Common causes include wearing tight footwear that restricts circulation and strains foot muscles. Dehydration can reduce electrolyte balance, leading to poor muscle function. Overexertion from prolonged walking, exercise, or standing places stress on the muscles, making cramps more likely. Low potassium levels can also contribute by affecting nerve signals that control muscle movements. While occasional cramps are common, frequent or severe episodes may signal an underlying issue. A podiatrist can assess your symptoms, identify possible causes, and recommend solutions such as wearing better footwear, stretching routines, or dietary adjustments. If foot cramps are disrupting your routine, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist for professional guidance and relief.
