The treatment of osteophytes mainly focuses on the symptoms caused by osteophytes, such as pain can be treated with oral pain medication. Osteomalacia is a normal physiological phenomenon due to the protective hyperplasia reaction formed by repeated pulling of the vertebrae and the bones around the joints. If the osteophytes do not cause pain, soreness and swelling and other symptoms, there is no need for treatment. If the osteophytes compress the surrounding tissues and cause pain, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs for pain relief, such as Nimesulide, Diclofenac, etc. If the compression of nerves causes numbness, you can take oral neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and so on. If the osteophytes are particularly large, affecting the joint flexion and extension activities, they can also be removed through surgery. If there are symptoms such as bone or joint pain, swelling, or in severe cases, limitation of movement, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital and receive regular treatment after a complete examination. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
