Bone spur is an extra bone that grows on the normal bone. In medical jargon bone spur is known as osteophytes. It occurs on the joints especially on the joints of the spine, feet, shoulders, hips, hands and knees. Bone spur itself does not cause any pain but it can cause pain when it rubs against other bones and nerves around it. Bone spur is quite common among people above 60 years of age and is an indication of spine degeneration.

Symptoms for Bone Spur

Symptoms for Bone spur

Back pain and neck pain are the most common symptoms of bone spur. Patients could experience mild pain in the neck and the lower back while standing and walking. If bone spur is developed in the cervical spine then the patient will experience pain in the shoulders and headache in some cases. Patient will experience pain in thigh if bone spur is developed in lumbar spine. Numbness, tingling, progressive weakness and pain in arms and legs are some other symptoms of bone spur due to compression of the nerves.

Causes for Bone Spur

There are many hard to believe theories on the cause of bone spurs. After many years of hearing what works in eliminating bone spurs for different people, our conclusion on the matter is this:

Amount of calcium

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one factor; An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%

Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent, they're just like any other body tissue; they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones are renewed.

Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body, where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell. The role of calcium is so vital in these fluids and tissues that, if it's supply runs low, the body will actually leach calcium from its own bones.

Many people that suffer from bone spurs/heel spurs find relief without heel spurs surgery when they properly supplement their diet daily with "good" Calcium. The reason for this is that when the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body, as the calcium is being leached it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the bone spur, and when the body is fed the right amount of "good" Calcium the eruption subsides along with the pain.

The best way to eliminate this "leaching process" (calcium deficiency) SAFELY, is to supplement your diet with a specially tested formulation of calcium along with the other vital minerals mentioned above.
