Bone spurs
Free Consultation
Bone spurs are actually quite common as they often form as a natural process of aging. Over time, as a response to arthritis or other degenerative conditions, ligaments can calcify and develop into bone spurs(osteophytes). These calcifications can irritate the spinal cord and nerve root branches that control our CNS (central nervous system). When the spinal cord and nerve roots become irritated symptoms can arise.
Symptoms a patient may experience from bone spurs can include:
Pain that is local to the mid back, low back, or neck
Numbness or tingling
Radicular symptoms such as pain shooting into the extremities (shoulders, arms, hands, legs, hips, and feet)
Weakness or atrophy in extremities
