Bone Spurs

📋Overview

These smooth, hard bumps of extra bone often form in response to localized pressure or the gradual wear of joint surfaces. The projections typically develop over long periods and are frequently identified in areas prone to repetitive stress, such as the spine, shoulders, hips, and knees.

While many individuals with these growths remain asymptomatic, clinical concern may arise if the protrusions impinge upon adjacent nerves or soft tissues. These developments are most commonly associated with degenerative changes, including osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc disease.
