BONE SPURS

Bone Spurs are extra pieces of bone that typically form at the joints where two bones meet.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR BONE SPURS?

In addition to plaguing joints, these hard and smooth bones pieces can also grow on the edge of your spinal discs and cause compression of the nerve as it tries to exit the disc space causing extreme pain and discomfort.

Bone spurs can be treated with conservative treatments like physical therapy, rest and over the counter pain medications. If the pain persists, spinal procedures to remove the extra bone are typically most successful for full relief.

what our patients are saying

[Since my bulging disc correction] I haven't had pain in my leg at all and had only a little pain in my back from my surgery, but zero pain in my legs, the sciatica is gone.
EdwardAge 55, bulging disc injury
Today my back and hip feel tremendous. My legs are still a bit weak, possibly from nerve damage that occurred prior to surgery. I’m going to physical therapy 3 times per week. I was back at work on November 15th, 3 weeks after surgery.
RobertAge 58, History of disc herniation and previous surgeries
Nobody likes to be injured and neck surgery is a delicate procedure, but Dr. Massoud explained what needed to be done, which made me feel more comfortable. [Post-surgery] I felt great, and today the pain is completely gone.
FranciscoAge 48, Cervical Injury
Dr. Patel was so nice and explained everything to me. He likes to see the MRI images and see for himself what shows up on our report. He answered all my questions and I was able to get a late appointment (and by late i mean [past] 6pm).
