  – Joint movement. If the joint in question developed the bone spur because of repetitive activities from work or sports, the physical therapist may recommend ways to move the joint such that the activity no longer stresses the joint in the same place. This may necessitate the use of devices such as orthotics in the shoes or knee, back, shoulder and ankle braces. […] – Stretching. Careful stretching and assisted movement can help limber up a joint and contribute to easing the pressure of the bone spur on soft tissue. […] – Strengthening. Building strength in the surrounding muscles can help the joint move properly without rubbing bones together. The physical therapist can prescribe an exercise regimen tailored to the patient’s ability and age. […] – Deep tissue massage.

  Facilitating the Reabsorption of the Bone Spur with Iontophoresis […] Iontophoresis is an effective treatment for Bone Spurs […] Bone spurs comprising calcium carbonate, sometimes can resolve without the need for invasive surgery. Surgical removal has been the last resort treatment for those that do not reabsorb on their own. However, once the conditions that brought on a bone spur are corrected, a relatively new treatment for osteophytes, called iontophoresis, can further accelerate the breakdown and reabsorption of the excess bone in a rather short period of time. […] Iontophoresis is the act of sending charged ions of therapeutic substances into the skin using a weak electrical current. While the technique has many uses, from delivering medications without needles to treating excessive sweating, for bone spurs, it can painlessly transport the chemical, ascetic acid, to break down the calcification without disrupting any other subcutaneous structure. The acetic acid used with the electrical charge reacts with the calcium carbonate of the bone spur and forms calcium acetate which is more soluble than the calcium carbonate, thus facilitating easier dissolution. The process is painless, requiring no injections or other invasions of the skin. The patient only feels a slight tingling as the electrical charge pushes the acetic acid into the affected area. The body’s natural ability to dispose of waste carries the excess bone material out of the body through the capillaries and lymph system.

While the technique has many uses, from delivering medications without needles to treating excessive sweating, for bone spurs, it can painlessly transport the chemical, ascetic acid, to break down the calcification without disrupting any other subcutaneous structure. The acetic acid used with the electrical charge reacts with the calcium carbonate of the bone spur and forms calcium acetate which is more soluble than the calcium carbonate, thus facilitating easier dissolution. The process is painless, requiring no injections or other invasions of the skin. The patient only feels a slight tingling as the electrical charge pushes the acetic acid into the affected area. The body’s natural ability to dispose of waste carries the excess bone material out of the body through the capillaries and lymph system.

  Dear Reader: Bone spurs, which are also known as osteophytes, are rounded, bumpy or knobby overgrowths that can develop on the surface of a bone. […] Treatment for cervical osteophytes usually begins with a conservative and nonsurgical approach. This includes the use of medications and ice packs, along with rest, to reduce inflammation and manage pain. […] For those reasons, physical therapy to strengthen muscles that support the neck can be helpful. […] Your doctor may also recommend integrative treatments, such as acupuncture or chiropractic adjustment, which can increase mobility and manage pain.

  https://softwaveclinics.com/blog/can-softwave-therapy-help-manage-bone-spurs/

  Bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are bony outgrowths that can cause pain and restricted movement. They commonly occur in joints affected by osteoarthritis or inflammation. SoftWave Therapy offers a non-invasive treatment for managing bone spurs and improving symptoms. […] SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of broad-focused shockwaves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. By delivering acoustic waves to the affected area, SoftWave Therapy promotes increased blood circulation, tissue regeneration, and pain reduction in the management of bone spurs. […] Although SoftWave Therapy does not eliminate the bone spur itself, it can effectively help manage the pain and inflammation associated with this condition. The treatment stimulates cellular activity, which aids in reducing the inflammatory response and slowing down the degenerative process in the surrounding tissues. This multifaceted approach can lead to a significant reduction in pain levels, improved joint function, and increased mobility for individuals suffering from bone spurs.
