The Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Bone Spurs

Treatment. Since bone spurs often don’t cause pain themselves, treatment for the underlying condition is the primary focus. OA is often managed with a combination of medications and physical therapy. Dietary changes can also help in some cases with the increased intake of anti-inflammatory foods such as broccoli, blueberries, pineapples and whole grains. Plenty of antioxidants including vitamins A, C and E can also reduce pain and make symptoms more tolerable. A doctor may also suggest the use of over-the-counter pain relievers. Physical therapy can help treat joint conditions and increase mobility while reducing pain and tenderness.
