Short Description of Bone Spurs

A Bone spur is a bony projection that forms along bone edges. They are also known as osteophytes and develop often in areas where bones meet each other such as the joints.

Symptoms of Bone Spurs

• Burning or tingling (pins and needles in the hands or feet)
• Dull neck pain or lower back pain upon walking or standing
• Lack of coordination in part of the body
• Muscle cramps and spasms/numbness
• Radiating pain in the thighs and buttocks
• Radiating pain into the shoulders or headaches

About Bone Spurs

A bone spur or osteophyte is a tiny pointed outgrowth of bone. They are usually due to local inflammation like degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis or tendonitis. They tend to develop in areas of inflammation or injury such as nearby tendons or cartilages.

Etiology of Bone Spurs

Age

As we get older, our discs wear down and the ligaments get looser. The body attempts to thicken the ligaments in order to hold the bones together. Over time, the thickened ligaments begin forming flecks of bone.

Other risk factors are:

• Patients with disc and joint degeneration
• Genetics
• Injuries such as sports-related and motor vehicle related accidents
• Nutrition
• Poor posture
• Structural issues that a person is born with

Conditions that can make it more likely for a bone spur to develop:

• Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Spinal stenosis

Diagnosis

Tests that the doctor may request include:

• Electro conductive tests
• CT scans
• MRI
• X rays

Areas of the Body Affected by Bone Spurs

• The Knees — pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Hips — pain and reduced range of motion
• Spine — can be a contributor to spinal stenosis
• Shoulder — decreased range of motion
• Hands — loss of motion and knobby appearance
• Foot and Ankle — painful heel spurs

Outlook

Patients with a bone spur do not necessarily require treatment. If the bone spur causes only mild pain, the healthcare provider may prescribe an over the counter medication. Steroids can help by temporarily reducing the swelling and inflammation. Physical therapy focuses on strengthening the muscles around the affected joints.

Bone Spurs and Sound Therapy

Sound therapy is a procedure that focuses on returning balance to the body. It is based on frequencies that tune the body to the correct frequency in order to create healing. Sound therapy has been around for hundreds of years and is used by many alternative treatment practitioners as a means of creating a healing environment for the body without the need for surgery or worry about side effects of drugs.
