What Are Bone Spurs?
Bone spurs, medically known as osteophytes, are smooth, hard overgrowths of bone that develop on the edges of bones. They most frequently occur in joints, where two bones meet, or where tendons and ligaments attach to bone. While they can form anywhere, they are particularly common in the feet, often associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis.
Symptoms of Bone Spurs
-
Localized pain or tenderness, especially when weight-bearing or during activity.
-
Swelling or inflammation in the affected area.
-
Reduced range of motion in the adjacent joint.
-
A visible bump or hard lump under the skin.
-
Numbness or tingling if the spur presses on nerves.
Causes of Bone Spurs
Bone spurs primarily result from the body’s attempt to repair itself or protect a joint from chronic stress or injury. Factors such as repetitive pressure, long-term inflammation from arthritis, or tight ligaments and tendons can stimulate excess bone production. They are often a natural consequence of aging and wear and tear on the joints.
Treatment Options for Spurs
-
Anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling.
-
Custom orthotics and shoe inserts to provide support and cushioning.
-
Soundwave therapy to stimulate healing and reduce discomfort.
-
