Ice and elevate.
Magnesium Citrate is a commonly used supplement to help with muscle spasms. I advise to consult with a chiropractor to see if it is a contraindication for use. It is generally safe and effective for muscle spasms.
The best natural remedy for muscle spasms is taking magnesium supplements. 
You may try switching ice and heat to the area of complaint. A magnesium supplement can also help reduce the spasms.
