The Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Bone Spurs

Seeing a doctor. A physician will do a physical evaluation to test a patient’s range of motion. A doctor will also ask a variety of questions to gauge the severity of a patient’s symptoms including their pain levels, the impact of their pain on daily tasks and information about their daily routine. If a general physician suspects a patient might have bone spurs or a joint-related medical condition, they’ll most likely order an X-Ray or MRI to get a look inside and see what’s causing the patient discomfort.
