Mild osteophytes in the lumbar spine usually do not heal on their own. Osteomalacia is most common in the elderly or in people with chronic poor posture. Bone is a deposit of calcium, which is very strong and is generally not easily absorbed or transformed. Mild osteophytes can be left untreated if there are no specific symptoms or if the symptoms are very mild and do not affect daily activities. However, if mild osteophytes are accompanied by a series of symptoms such as pain and numbness, active treatment is needed, such as applying hot compresses to the painful area, localized acupuncture, physiotherapy, and acupressure to relieve the symptoms. If the pain symptoms are severe, you can also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, nimesulide and so on. If lumbar spondylolisthesis progresses to the point where it affects daily activities, it is recommended that you seek medical attention in a timely manner and under the guidance of your doctor for surgical treatment. The above drugs need to be standardized and rationally used under the guidance of professional physicians and pharmacists.
