Bone Spurs are hard bumps of extra bone that can form within the bones of your spine, feet, knees, hips, hands and shoulders. Mild to intense pain can occur.
Bone spurs, also called osteophytes, are hard bumps of extra bone that form within the bones of your spine, feet, knees, hips, hands, and shoulders. While some cause no symptoms, others can lead to mild to intense pain that interferes with daily activities. If you’re experiencing bone spur pain, Oasis Orthopedic & Spine offers comprehensive bone spur treatment in New Jersey with both conservative and minimally invasive approaches. Our team serves patients throughout Northern New Jersey, including Bergen County, Passaic County, Essex County, Morris County, and Union County.
Bone spurs develop when bone tissue has been damaged or irritated over an extended period. They most often result from tissue damage caused by osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that breaks down the protective cartilage cushioning the ends of your bones. When cartilage deteriorates, your body attempts to repair the damage by producing additional bone tissue, which gradually forms into a spur.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, osteoarthritis affects more than 32.5 million adults in the United States, making bone spurs a common orthopedic concern.
Knee: These bony growths in the knee can make it difficult to bend or fully extend your leg, causing stiffness and discomfort during movement. This limitation often impacts activities like climbing stairs, squatting, or prolonged walking, particularly affecting athletes and active individuals.
Spine: Osteophytes within your vertebrae reduce the available space in your spinal canal and often pinch nerve roots or the spinal cord itself. This spinal compression can cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms or legs.
Hip: These bony growths make it difficult and painful to move your hip. Although the spur is located in the hip joint, you may feel referred pain in your knee. Depending on the spur’s position and size, your hip’s range of motion may become significantly limited, affecting your ability to walk, sit, or stand comfortably.
Shoulder: Osteophytes in the shoulder can reduce your ability to move the joint freely. Rotator cuff tears and swelling often develop as a result of these bony growths rubbing against soft tissues in the shoulder.
Hand: Symptoms in the hand can include visible bumps or lumps on the fingers or knuckles, joint stiffness, difficulty gripping objects, and pain that worsens with repetitive hand movements or activities. Hand and wrist pain from bone spurs can significantly impact daily tasks.
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause, accounting for the majority of cases in patients over 50. However, several other conditions and factors can contribute to their development, including inflammatory conditions like bursitis:
If you are experiencing symptoms associated with this condition, taking the next step toward pain relief starts with an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment for this condition depends on the severity and location of the spur. The orthopedic and spine physicians at Oasis offer several treatment options to help you find lasting relief, from conservative care to advanced surgical procedures.
The orthopedic team at Oasis exhausts non-surgical treatment options before considering surgical intervention. These conservative approaches focus on decreasing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring function without invasive procedures:
Most patients experience significant improvement with conservative treatment within 6-12 weeks.
If non-surgical options have been exhausted over several months and do not provide adequate pain relief, surgery may be the next step to alleviate pain. Our team provides minimally invasive procedures that reduce recovery time as well as potential complications. Surgical options for bone spur treatment in New Jersey can include:
Recovery from minimally invasive bone spur surgery typically ranges from 4-6 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within 6-8 weeks.
