Does baclofen help bone on bone arthritis?

Baclofen is a muscle relaxant primarily used to treat spasticity and is not typically prescribed for arthritis, including bone-on-bone arthritis. While it may help alleviate muscle tension and spasms around the affected joints, it does not directly address the underlying joint degeneration or pain associated with arthritis. For managing bone-on-bone arthritis, treatments usually focus on pain relief, inflammation reduction, and improving joint function through medications, physical therapy, or surgical options. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment options.
