Bone spurs, also known as hyperplastic arthritis, or “bone paralysis” or “bone pain” in Chinese medicine, are a common chronic joint disease. When it comes to “bone spurs”, many people’s first impression is that “this is the patent of the elderly.” However, with the accelerated pace of modern life and lifestyle changes, bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are finding their way to young people. When it comes to bone spurs, people naturally associate them with the middle-aged and elderly. However, in recent years, the chances of young people suffering from cervical spondylosis have been increasing due to the long-term use of computers and poor sitting and standing posture when reading books. Some adolescents (including athletes) are also often plagued by bone spur pain due to prolonged strenuous exercise. In recent years, due to long-term poor sitting and standing posture, the proportion of adolescents with long bone spurs leading to cervical spondylosis has increased significantly, and osteophytes have become a modern disease. There are also some middle-aged and young people, who do not pay attention to maintaining the correct posture due to long hours of surfing the Internet and driving, have also joined the ranks of patients with osteophytes. In addition, age is also one of the main causes of osteophytes, according to statistics, the incidence rate of middle-aged and elderly people over 55 years old is 60%, and the incidence rate of elderly people over 70 years old reaches 80%. Therefore, both teenagers and middle-aged and elderly people should actively prevent and treat bone spurs. To prevent bone spurs, first of all, we should try to avoid prolonged sitting and standing, and walk in moderation to activate the muscles and bones; usually pay attention to avoid poor sitting and standing posture to increase the load on the lumbar spine, and pay attention to weight control, regular exercise habits, and avoid prolonged and intense exercise; in the daily diet, you can take more antioxidant-rich food, and pay attention to the appropriate amount of calcium supplementation. Prevention of osteophytes should start at a young age, try to avoid joint trauma; control weight to prevent obesity; actively correct the wrong walking and labor posture; women should wear high heels as little as possible; use the correct exercise method, especially the middle-aged and elderly friends should pay attention to good preparation activities, gently stretch the knee joint, so that the knee joint is fully active before participating in sports, the amount of exercise should not be too large; should also do a good job at the joint to prevent cold and keep warm. In addition, you can eat more food rich in protein and calcium, such as soy products, fish and shrimp, etc. If you have osteophytes, you should go to a professional hospital in time to receive treatment to avoid further damage.
