Causes and Relief Methods for Calf Pain
Calf pain is a very common urban problem in Hong Kong. Whether you're walking around all day, standing for long periods, running, or even sitting in the office for long hours, it can cause calf muscle pain, cramps, inflammation, or swelling . Often, calf pain is not caused by a single factor, but is the result of multiple factors accumulating.
Common causes of calf pain
-
Overuse or undertraining of muscles : Running, climbing stairs, and standing for long periods can all cause excessive tension in the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus), leading to lactic acid buildup, which in turn causes muscle inflammation or soreness.
-
Poor blood circulation : Sitting for long periods or lack of exercise can slow down blood flow back to the lower limbs , causing swelling, soreness, or pain in the calves.
-
Nerve compression or muscle strain <br />Sometimes calf pain is not just a muscle problem, but originates from compression of the lumbar spine or sciatic nerve, causing the calf muscles to tighten or even become numb.
-
Knee arthritis or joint degeneration <br />For middle-aged and elderly people, knee pain and knee inflammation may affect the lower leg, causing long-term compensatory muscle tension and resulting in soreness.
Relief methods for calf pain
-
Apply heat or massage to relax muscles .<br />Use a leg and foot massager or apply heat to help blood circulation and reduce swelling and soreness.
-
Stretching and light exercise <br />Daily calf stretches , such as toe-up stretches, can prevent lactic acid buildup and muscle stiffness.
-
Improve your sleeping and sitting posture . Avoid letting your legs dangle for extended periods. Elevating your legs appropriately can help reduce pressure on your veins.
