Four Ways MSM Treats Lower Back Pain

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has estimated that up to 90% of Australians will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. Lower back pain can be the result of a number of health issues, including muscular strain, ligament strains, or sciatica. Whatever the cause, one thing is for certain: treating lower back pain is a slow and often disappointing process. One of the most promising and newest forms of treatment for lower back pain is MSM. Known as Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane, MSM is touted as being one of the safest alternative medicines for helping relieve lower back pain. Best of all, it does not come with any side effects or negative drug interactions which many other natural alternatives do. How MSM Helps Treat Lower Back Pain MSM helps relieve lower back pain in a variety of ways:

1. Reducing Inflammation

The primary way in which MSM helps reduce the amount of back pain one suffers from is that it reduces the painful inflammation that is surrounding the disk or disks in a sufferers back. It is important to note that MSM does not diminish the size of the disk which is protruding or solve the problem. However, it works well in conjunction with other therapies, including acupuncture and chiropractic treatment.

2. Enhanced Blood Supply

MSM has been proven to be able to dilate blood vessels and increase blood supply throughout the body. This is essential to helping heal any wounded or damaged parts of your body, including any strained muscles or damaged disks. An increase in blood flow means an expedited and more efficient flow of essential nutrients to the parts of the body which need it the most. This helps speed up just how quickly your tissues can repair and recover.

3. A Reduction of Muscle Spasms

Many who suffer from lower back pain report numerous muscle spasms which can incite inflammation and cause more pain. MSM has been proven to be able to reduce the number of muscle spasms from which one would typically suffer. Similar to how MSM helps reduce inflammation, it is most effective when used with other therapies (such as hot/cold therapy).

4. Making Cell Membranes More Permeable

The final and least-mentioned benefit of MSM is that it increases the how permeable cell membranes are. This is important as a cellular membrane which is more permeable is one which allows the body's own natural pain killers to be more effective. For those wanting to increase their comfort while treating lower back pain, try taking a natural organic form of Sulphur, like MISMO's MSM to expedite your recovery and to return to your normal and healthy life as quickly and safely as possible.

Powder or Capsules?

MSM Powder – Dietary supplement for general wellbeing and an active lifestyle. The most economical option and perfect for daily use at home.

MSM Capsules – TGA-listed medicine containing the same MSM powder. Convenient for travel or if you prefer to avoid the taste.

Benefits

  • ✅Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • ✅Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • ✅Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take 1–2 capsules daily (equivalent to ¼–½ teaspoon powder) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 5-6 capsules daily (equivalent to 1 teaspoon powder), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, lower your dose and increase gradually. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.
