What is a bone spur? ”Bone spur” is medically known as “osteophytes” and is a typical manifestation of joint degeneration. It occurs when the cartilage in the joint loses its protective effect on the bone through wear and tear and degeneration, causing the subchondral bone to grow in response to various forces. What is a bone spur a disease? Bone spurs are not strictly speaking a disease, let alone a standard diagnosis, but rather a pathological manifestation of the development of osteoarthrosis, or a phenomenon in the disease. Can bone spurs be eliminated? To date, there are no medications that can quickly eliminate bone spurs. If a drug can dissolve a bone spur, then the normal bone will also be dissolved. How can there be a “miracle drug” that only targets bone spurs without harming the adjacent bones that have the same structure and composition? How can bone spurs be treated? Bone growths do not necessarily cause symptoms, and most of the pain is not directly caused by the bone spur. Therefore, bone spurs that are not symptomatic do not require treatment. In the past, symptoms such as pain and swelling caused by bone spurs were traditionally treated symptomatically, and blood circulation, anti-inflammatory and pain relief could reduce pain, while bone spurs did not disappear with it. Bone spurs are reactions caused by the destruction of degenerative cartilage or osteoporosis in joints, etc. Therefore, the treatment of bone spurs should first prevent the destruction of joint cartilage, and at the same time repair and rebuild the cartilage matrix that has been destroyed, in order to inhibit and prevent osteophytes.
