Dehydration or an Electrolyte Imbalance

Dehydration, or not drinking enough water, can lead to toe cramps. Dehydration is likely to be an aggravating factor when the toes or surrounding area are weak, tight or injured.

The body thrives best with well-balanced electrolytes. Electrolytes include potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium. When the body has too much or too little of an electrolyte, it can cause cramping in the toes and other parts of the body.
