When patients have neck symptoms like pain and discomfort, numbness through the arms or hands. Xrays or MRIs performed may find the patient has bone spurs.

Bone spurs are growths that protect from the bone edges and can be found where bones meet the joints. They are also called osteocytes. Bone spurs do not have sharp edges; instead, they are rounded and flattened. They form the spine most commonly in the neck and lumbar spine and, on rare occasions, in the thoracic spine.

Bone spurs in the neck are commonly a result of abnormal weight bearing. Since bones are constantly renewing, osteoblasts will start creating more bone to fix the area that is unstable, which are what we call bone spurs. They most commonly occur in the front of the spine.

They can also be called osteoarthritis. which means bone joint inflammation.it is usually a result of alignment, meaning either the spine or joint is not aligned properly. The most common area is the lower half of the neck.

Bone spurs tend to be asymptomatic; they only cause pain when pressing against nerves. That is usually when you start to feel pain, tingling, and numbness. Radicular pain in the shoulders, arms, and hands. If the bone spur isn't pressing on something, it is normally painless.

Treatment of the bone spur isn't about trying to remove the bone spur but about improving the symptoms.

You may need to change your lifestyle as the symptoms can be aggravated by what you are doing that can cause the spine to shift and the bone spurs to press on the nerves.
Rest and limiting stressful activities can decrease inflammation in the area allowing more space for the nerves.
Ice and heat therapy can help relax muscles and decrease pain and reduce inflammation.

Physical therapy can be used to help strengthen the neck and relax muscles and maintain a normal range of motion.

Adjustments or techniques to help realign the spine can help.
Chiropractic techniques and adjustments can help improve mobility.

What is recommended at Scoliosis Reduction Center is proactive treatment to help get the spine to proper alignment to address the underlying cause of what's causing the bone spurs to develop to stop the ongoing degeneration of the spine. Reduction Center
