Are there any home remedies for muscle spasms?

I'm 56 and have been experiencing muscle spasms in my lower back for the last three months. Are there any home remedies that can help me ease the pain?

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.
