Applying Heat
You can also enjoy quick relief by applying heat to the affected area. Heat helps to soothe/relax the muscle which in turn, eases the tension you experience when you get leg cramps. The heat also boosts circulation which is essential for getting the muscles to work normally. However, you must be extremely careful when using this treatment remedy because excessive heat can damage your skin. You can use a hot towel or heating pad. Taking a warm/hot bath can also help.
If the leg cramps are regular and caused by physical activities such as sports, you can use an effective heat spray recommended for muscle pain relief. It is advisable to do what works best for you. You should stop treatment if applying heat worsens the muscle spasms.
