In the clinic often come back to the patient to consult, the patient cervical lumbar spine knee joint or heel bone has bone spurs, ask what way to get rid of bone spurs. First of all, we need to know why people have bone spurs Bone spurs are small, pointed bumps that grow on top of the bones, most commonly associated with the heel, cervical lumbar and knee joints, but also in the humerus and other joints with more activity. It is generally believed that the formation of bone spurs is related to changes in the attachment surface of ligaments. This is a reaction of the supporting tissues that occurs when the body ages and the normal bone tissue weakens, or when the normal bone tissue is unable to withstand the pulling force of the ligaments due to the excessive activity of the body. Young people’s articular cartilage is elastic, can withstand a certain amount of pressure, with the increase in age, the composition of osteochondral changes, changing the physical properties to withstand external forces, the late emergence of cartilage limitation damage, so there is a sclerosis of the cartilage below the joints due to weight-bearing and sports stimulation, is the periphery of the cartilage overgrowth, ossification and formation of bone spurs, there are also some people engaged in a long-term special position of the movement, bone and joint activities Some people engage in long-term sports in special postures, and the activities of bone and joints cause excessive injuries, thus causing changes in soft tissues such as muscle ligaments and fascia, and bone quality, thus forming bone spurs. Do bone spurs need treatment? From the causes of bone spurs, we can understand that bone spurs are in fact a physiological phenomenon, only a small portion is caused by pathological reasons, so most of the bone spurs do not need treatment. We can often see many patients in the clinic from the cervical lumbar bone joints to the heel bone a large number of bone spurs formed, the patient does not have any symptoms. Patients need not worry. Why do bone spurs cause pain? Most of the bone spurs will not affect the patient, but in the process of bone spur formation and bone spurs will produce stimulation of the surrounding tendons, nerves and blood vessels, the local formation of aseptic inflammation, thus causing pain around. I am in the so-called treatment of bone spur pain, mainly for the process of bone spur formation to reduce the impact of bone spurs on the surrounding tissue. In the bone around the existence of this sensory-rich periosteal tissue, which is very sensitive to pain, once the bone spur lifted the stimulation of the surrounding tissues of the patient’s pain immediately lifted. Does removing bone spurs affect the human body? Many doctors often tell patients that if they remove their bone spurs, they will have no pain. Is this true? The production of bone spurs is a physiological phenomenon in itself. Removing bone spurs artificially will first change the body’s self-regulation ability, and the body will continue to proliferate and form more bone spurs in order to protect the organism. Surgical stimulation can cause adhesion and calcification of the surrounding tissues, thus affecting the mobility of the joint. Therefore, most bone spurs do not need to be removed, and if they are removed, they will have a negative impact on the human body. It is important to know how to prevent the formation of bone spurs. The formation of bone spurs is a physiological phenomenon, we can not change the process of old age, disease and death, but we can reduce the formation of bone spurs in a healthy way. First of all, we should prevent osteoporosis, in fact, osteoporosis and osteoporosis is a co-existing phenomenon, the result of osteoporosis is the formation of bone spurs. Timely supplementation of calcium, moderate sun exposure, and appropriate aerobic exercise for middle-aged and elderly people are the most basic requirements for the prevention of bone spurs. Inappropriate exercise will aggravate the formation of bone spurs. If there is the presence of osteoporosis, timely anti-osteoporosis treatment can significantly reduce bone proliferation, and the growth of bone spurs will be significantly inhibited.
