We reviewed various studies to see how effective glucosamine and similar chondroprotectors are for treating chronic back pain.
Our findings indicated that these drugs may provide pain relief comparable to traditional anti-inflammatory medications, showing potential benefits in reducing inflammation and improving function.
However, the overall evidence suggests that while they can help with osteoarthritis, the support for back pain relief specifically remains limited. This means glucosamine might not be the go-to treatment for everyone suffering from back issues.

We examined the effectiveness of a chondroprotector called Sustagard Artro against traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for easing lower back pain.
Our study involved sixty patients with spondylarthrosis, divided into two groups receiving either Sustagard Artro or NSAIDs.
After treatment, both groups showed a similar level of pain relief, with no significant differences in effectiveness. This suggests that Sustagard Artro may be a viable alternative to NSAIDs for back pain management.

We examined the effectiveness of glucosamine injections for treating chronic lower back pain in a pilot study. Thirty participants, all struggling with severe back pain for an average of 8.5 years, received injections into their lumbar discs.
After one year, we compared their pain and disability scores to see if there were improvements. Unfortunately, the results indicated no significant change in their condition. While this study highlights the need for more rigorous trials, we're left with no strong evidence to support glucosamine injections for back pain relief.

Best for arthritis
19 people found this helpful
This product is the only one that has effectively managed my severe arthritis pain. I started with double the recommended dosage for a week, finding that this greatly alleviated my aches, including back pain. When needed, I increase the dosage again, which reliably stops the discomfort. It's an exceptional product.

Significant reduction
17 people found this helpful
This supplement needs to be taken daily for at least two months to achieve substantial results, but it has reduced my back and knee pain by 50%. I've regained the ability to do activities I hadn’t done in years. It's essential not to buy weaker brands; this product is effective and offers long-term benefits when used consistently.

Initially sceptical, after a week of taking two of these daily, I experienced relief from pain. I had to reorder, confirming their effectiveness for me.

No more joint pain
7 people found this helpful
After dealing with "Trigger Finger" for years, this product, combined with MSM supplements, worked better than anything I've tried. Remarkably, all symptoms disappeared about a month after starting. Now, at seventy, I have no joint problems, which is a significant improvement. Taking double doses has been effective for me, providing a non-invasive alternative to surgery.

Back and joint pain
1 people found this helpful
This product works wonders for my back and neck pain. It’s the most effective treatment I’ve tried over the years. While it doesn't contain MSM, it pairs well with the supplement I bought separately. Overall, I find much greater relief from pain, including my other joint issues. I will definitely be purchasing this again in the future.
