To the best of my knowledge, baclofen is for symptomatic relief only. Baclofen is a difficult drug...hard to tolerate and hard to discontinue later. If you decide to go off, you must taper carefully.
If someone is low in dietary magnesium you can replace that deficiency and improve muscle functions. It is estimated that 70% of US residents are low in magnesium because of our poor diet. 3 ounces of unsalted almonds have 270mg. You can start there or read my thread on magnesium. Notice that magnesium OXIDE has been found to be useless except for laxative effect. This is because it is not appreciably absorbed, and it is found in many products because it is so inexpensive. Don't use Oxide form expecting muscular improvements.
