Thoracic spine osteophytes are a natural phenomenon of human aging: the human body grows with age, generally to 38 years old after the thoracic intervertebral discs degenerate and become thinner, the original muscles around the vertebral body, ligaments, joint capsule physiological balance is disrupted, it is easy to occur hyperplasia. To prevent osteophytes, we must do the following: 1, appropriate exercise Regular exercise to maintain a greater range of motion of the joints, joint cartilage stress and uniform, not to soften. On the contrary, people who do not adhere to the exercise, joint cartilage stress limitations and aggravate the damage, easy to cause arthritis; often adhere to the exercise, so that the muscles and ligaments strong and powerful, can stabilize the joints, strengthen the solidity of the bone; often exercise, can make the joints continue to secrete synovial fluid, synovial fluid has a nutritional effect on the joints, can delay its aging. 2, avoid overexertion and incorrect posture For example, brain workers have more cervical spine hyperplasia, because of long-term low desk work, cervical spine overload; and manual workers such as porters, athletes have more lumbar spine hyperplasia. Carpenters have more elbow joint hyperplasia. Obese people have more hyperplasia of the heel bone. 3, avoid too strenuous activities because the human body tends to excessively pull the ligaments attached to the vertebral bone edge and the joint capsule on the small joint synapse, due to the constant pulling, repeatedly stimulating the periosteum there, will cause vertebral body edge and small joint osteophytes.
