Bone spurs are a natural aging phenomenon that causes the wear and tear of cartilage in joints for various reasons, and leads to the repair, hardening and proliferation of the bones themselves. However, bone spurs are not exclusive to the elderly. Due to the nature of their work, many people have to sit and stand for long periods of time, and if their posture is not correct, it is easy for their joints and spine to degenerate early at a young age, which can lead to the occurrence of bone spurs. The causes of bone spurs include age, gender, weight, occupation, and habits. Occupation and lifestyle habits are particularly important. For example, the elbow and shoulder joints of foundry workers, the knee and ankle joints of stevedores, the shoulder joints of drivers, the wrist joints of repairmen and weavers, the metatarsophalangeal joints of ballerinas, and the cervical joints of long-term embroidery, typewriting, and desk-bound workers. These parts of the body are often subjected to wear and tear due to repeatedly doing a certain action over a long period of time, causing osteophytes in the joint. The incidence of cervical spine osteophytes is particularly high in long-term ambulatory workers, poor sleep posture, and those with inappropriate pillows. This is due to the imbalance of the paravertebral muscles and ligaments and joints, the side with high tension is prone to different degrees of strain, and because some of the muscles of the cervical spine are under continuous tension, these muscles are subject to static injury, which in turn causes degenerative changes in the cervical spine and causes osteophytes. It is also related to the long-term uneven stress on the joints of the cervical spine, so that the pressure (stress) is concentrated in a certain place within the joint causing excessive stress and damage to the joint. This is also the reason why the bones and joints with high body load and high activity are the preferred sites of osteophytes. For example, the cervical spine, lumbar spine, knee joint, ankle joint and heel bone. Osteomalacia is a natural phenomenon of human aging. As we grow older, generally after the age of thirty-five, the human skeleton will undergo different degrees of degenerative changes, but most people have no obvious symptoms or signs. There is no need to be overly nervous after discovering osteophytes, as long as they do not cause symptoms, they can be treated without any treatment, and treatment will only be considered after the appearance of the corresponding symptoms. Bone is a type of slow-growing tissue, and even if the bone spurs are irregular in shape, they are growing in a process of mutual adaptation with the surrounding tissues immediately around them, and the relationship between the bone spurs and the surrounding tissues is relatively static, lacking space for movement and friction, and generally do not cause symptoms. In the joint areas of the extremities bone spurs generally do not cause pain as long as they do not stimulate the nociceptive receptors on the ligaments or pull to stimulate the nerve trunks. The diagnosis of cervical spondylosis or spinal stenosis is made only when severe hyperplasia of the vertebral edges and synapses of the spinal joints compress nerves or blood vessels to cause the appropriate symptoms.
