First of all, osteophyte is not a disease, it is a normal physiological process of the human body, and anyone who reaches a certain age will have osteophytes, also known as “degeneration”. There is no drug that can eliminate the bone growth that has occurred, and if any drug or doctor says it can treat “osteophytes”, it’s a “fudge”. Although osteophytes are not a disease in and of themselves, their excessive growth causes nerve compression (e.g., in the spinal canal), resulting in symptoms, and the diagnosis is “spinal stenosis”. The diagnosis is “osteoarthritis”. If your symptoms are low back pain, if there is no leg pain, you can only diagnose lumbar muscle strain or lumbar dorsal fasciitis or supraspinous ligamentitis, if there is pain, numbness and soreness in the lower extremities, it is disc herniation or spinal stenosis, so if you want to confirm the diagnosis, you need to check the lumbar disc CT. clear diagnosis before considering treatment. There are different treatments for different diseases.
