Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The treatment for charley horses depends on the underlying cause.
If a charley horse is exercise-induced, simple stretches and massages can help relax the muscle and stop it from contracting.
Heating pads can accelerate the relaxation.
I also suggest using muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
