Can you tell me is glucosamine & chondroitin beneficial for lumbar disc disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The studies are hit: Or miss with glucosamine for joints overall, and discs are a difficult area to get nutrients to, so they may not be able to get much from glucosamine. That being said, some people really do have good results. It is a benign treatment that may actually help a great deal if you are one of the lucky few!
