How many times have you or someone you know been woken up in the middle of the night by painful leg cramps and nothing you do seems to make it go? Do you have the time to wait for the painkillers to take effect? It is a pain that is very acute and immediate. So anything that can be done to relieve this painful condition will be most welcome.
But what is special about this kind of pain is that, just as it comes on so suddenly and with such acute pain, so also it calls for quick and immediate pain relief treatment . Taking the usual route of pain relief drugs might not be exactlywhat you need because the effect is not immediate and anyone with the onset of a muscle cramp in the night wants relief ‘right here, right now!’.
In this case time is of the essence! No-one wants to wait in this situation
Rubbing the legs, which is often an immediate reactionary response, doesn’t actually work and often contributes to a worsening of the pain. The problem with muscle cramping is that the muscle becomes locked and very tight so it can’t just be shaken off or immediately exercised away and indeed trying this can even lead to more pain. So there is often a feeling of helplessness in the face of this spasm attack.
So what can be done about it?
When there are so many remedies and conventional treatments out there that don’t seem to work all that well it is really refreshing to come across a self help technique that not only works well but also so quickly. Those who learn to apply this amazingly simple technique are often totally surprised by its results and the comment ‘ What happened to the pain, it’s gone?’ is an often heard and exciting response
This natural, drug free and effective treatment is called EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Technique, and despite its name, works amazingly well and very quickly on physical pains such as those caused by muscle spasms and many more, where conventional therapies often fail. In fact this do-it-yourself pain relief procedure has shown remarkable results in thousands of clinical applications.
It is possible to obtain complete pain relief within minutes and there are thousands of glowing testimonials as to its effectiveness for this and many other painful conditions. In addition, besides a ‘quick fix’ the results can also be long lasting and in this case you can say goodbye to night leg cramps for ever.
According to the theory of EFT, pain has two main causes. The first is attributed to the imbalance of subtle energy flow. Repairing disruptions in these subtle energies by tapping on the acupuncture points or "release points" on the body can lead to complete pain relief.
As the muscle immediately softens and the cramping dissolves, along with the pain by the simple application of the eft technique those who use it are often left in amazement at its power.
The second cause is said to be negative emotions. These are said to have an adverse effect on the body by triggering the release of nasty chemicals that lead to stress, constriction and pain. With a little finger tapping on the main acupuncture points and a specifically chosen focus, the body is given the signal to relax and as it does so, painful symptoms disappear.
So next time you find yourself in the middle of a painful leg cramp it might just be worth giving the eft technique a try. It is a remarkable gift to the world

There are several types of medications that are available; however, some find that these simply cause more side effects or don’t work.
The most common cause that is typically seen in patients who develop leg cramps is exercising in an unusual way, meaning either more activity or a different exercise. Leg cramps are more common in young (adolescent age) and older (over 65) patients.
Individuals that get these cramps often wake up and stay awake for 30 minutes during the night, ruining valuable sleep that is needed. The majority of the time the muscle cramps are harmless and do not signify anything serious or damaging.
