There are many causes of knee spurs, such as degenerative changes in the joint as we age, including damage to the synovial membrane or cartilage in the joint, which can lead to osteophytes, and long-term weight bearing on the joint is also a major cause of bone formation in the joint. This can lead to swelling, pain and discomfort in the knee joint and restriction of knee movement. Treatment for osteophytes in the joints mainly includes: physical therapy such as massage and acupuncture, oral anti-inflammatory and pain relieving drugs, drug introduction with the help of instruments, and surgical treatment. Professional massage and acupuncture can improve the local blood circulation in the knee joint as an adjunctive treatment, thus reducing the swelling and pain. Although oral anti-inflammatory painkillers can help with pain, they are not as effective because the bone layer is deep and the oral medication enters the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract and finally reaches the affected area. At present, there is another better treatment method, which is to do drug ionization through heat therapy instrument, and this treatment method has less side effects compared with oral drugs. Surgical treatment is to remove the enlarged bone, but as the knee joint continues to degenerate over time, new bone spurs may still appear. Therefore, for people with knee spurs, lifestyle adjustments are particularly important. It is important to avoid weight-bearing on the joints and excessive exercise (but not inactivity, after all, appropriate exercise can help relieve the symptoms caused by osteophytes). You can do non-weight-bearing exercises, such as pedaling, or sitting on the edge of the bed and rocking the knee back and forth. It is important to look at bone spurs in the knee with a calm mind, not with negative emotions, and proper exercise and treatment can improve the function of the joint.
