Vertebra or vertebral bones are stacked one on top of another in a straight and neutral alignment from the front. The vertebrae are separated by intervertebral discs, which act as a shock absorber or cushion in between two bones.

The main areas of the spine are the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Bone spurs can occur in any part of the spine and typically occur where the bone meets the discs either above or below.

The bone spur does not generally cause pain. The pain occurs when the bone spur starts to press against other parts. Symptoms are determined by the patient factors such as age, severity, location, and cause. In some cases, they can affect joints, and they become painful since they decrease the range of motion. As they get bigger, they can limit motion, which leads to stiffness and pain. When in the spine, it can affect the nerves and then affect what is controlled by such nerves.

The most common cause or diagnosis associated with bone spurs is osteoarthritis which is also called degenerative joint disease. Often this is a cause of misalignment, compression as a result of gravity, and when there are alignment issues, the section of the spine will present degenerative changes faster than the rest of the spine.

Treatment for bone spurs is case specific, but the most common is medications and drugs to treat the symptoms of the condition. This does not treat the underlying cause; it just reduces the pain. Adjusting the spine into better alignment to stop the vertebral bones from putting pressure can greatly help improve the symptoms the patient is experiencing as well as slow down the progression. This can help improve mobility and pain and return alignment to its normal curvature to stop this accelerated damage in the area. Effective treatment for bone spurs is done by treating the cause of the bone spurs on their underlying symptoms.

At The Scoliosis Reduction Center, we offer proactive treatment by looking at the alignment of the spine and trying to put it back into its normal position so the bone spurs put less pressure on the nerves and spinal cords and stop the progression so the bone spurs don't worsen over time.
