Patients with bone hyperplasia should pay attention to rest and reduce climbing activities to avoid aggravating joint damage. At the same time, it is important to appropriately increase calcium intake by consuming foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, soy products, kelp, shrimp shells, and ribs. Additionally, it is crucial to get ample sunlight and avoid overly vigorous activities, opting instead for walking, swimming, and practicing Tai Chi. These activities can help strengthen the body, and when symptoms do appear, symptomatic medication treatment can be used. Other helpful treatments include appropriate heat application, physical therapy, and massage to alleviate symptoms. These methods can effectively improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. (Note: Use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

How to eradicate cervical spondylosis?

First of all, it should be noted that once cervical spondylosis occurs, it is impossible to completely eradicate it. However, actively cooperating with treatment to alleviate the pain symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis in patients is entirely feasible. Usually, the methods of relief require the patient to minimize bending their head down, avoid keeping the neck in the same position for an extended period, and try to keep the neck muscles relaxed. It is crucial not to catch cold. Local treatments such as heat application, massage, and cupping can be used, and it is entirely possible to apply topical ointments that promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and take oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications and drugs that combat bone proliferation.

What should not be eaten with osteophyte formation?

Patients with bone hyperplasia should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as fatty meat, barbecue, fried foods, and foods with high sugar content, as these are detrimental to health and can easily lead to diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Patients with bone hyperplasia are encouraged to consume more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, shrimp shells, beans, and ribs. These foods are rich in calcium. Additionally, it is beneficial to get more sun exposure, adequately supplement with vitamin D, and engage in proper physical exercise, all of which help promote the absorption of calcium.

Cervical vertebral hyperplasia surgical methods

In clinical practice, for patients with severe cervical spondylosis, such as those showing clear compression of the spinal nerves, exhibiting numbness, weakness, and pain in one or both arms, instability in walking, a sensation of stepping on cotton, or even abnormal urination and defecation, it is necessary to actively pursue surgical treatment. The surgery usually requires general anesthesia and involves the removal of the intervertebral disc, enlargement and decompression of the spinal canal, and vertebral interbody fusion with internal fixation. This should suffice. After the surgery, it is necessary to wear a neck brace for protection for about a month and a half, after which the neck brace can be removed to allow for appropriate activities.

What should I do if the bone hyperplasia becomes inflamed?

Bone hyperplasia inflammation generally refers to the situation where the bone hyperplasia irritates the surrounding tissues, resulting in aseptic inflammation. The symptoms of bone hyperplasia inflammation mainly manifest as pain and limited mobility in the affected areas. For the treatment of this condition, it is important to rest initially. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications can be used to improve symptoms. Other treatment methods such as hot compresses, physical therapy, and injections can also be effective in improving bone hyperplasia inflammation. When symptoms are severe and cause movement restrictions severely impacting daily life, surgical methods can also be considered for treatment. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

Symptoms of the early stage of bone hyperplasia

The early symptoms of osteophyte formation mainly include pain and limited local movement. If these symptoms occur in the early stage of osteophyte formation and there is no further protection of the affected area, or if vigorous exercise or injury occurs, it can lead to a gradual worsening of the symptoms. Patients may develop conditions such as lumbar disc herniation, cervical disc herniation, and osteoarthritis, which can worsen the symptoms. Therefore, it's crucial to take early symptoms of osteophyte growth seriously and manage them carefully. For instance, first and foremost, rest is important to avoid strenuous activity. Secondly, the local application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, as well as medications that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, can be used to alleviate local pain.
