Many things can cause foot cramps, such as poor circulation, alcohol or tobacco use, dehydration, pinched nerves and even changing hormone levels. However, regardless of the cause, according to FootCare Central, the following tips help treating these annoying cramps:

* Slowly pull the foot away from the cramping position and hold it there until the foot cramp disappears.Try massaging the foot for five to 10 minutes until the foot cramp feels better.
* Take a dose of aspirin or ibuprofen to relieve a foot cramp
* Elevate your foot to the level of your waist.
* If the foot cramp comes from an athletic injury, apply an ice pack around the foot cramp, no directly on it.
* Use moist heat on the foot cramp three times a day if cramping is chronic
* Try a warm foot soak
* Wrap the foot in an elastic bandage, if necessary
* Stay off your foot and give the foot cramp a chance to heal.
* See a doctor about chronic and persistent foot cramps.
