However, if the extra bone growth compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots, surgery may be needed. Surgery is done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. Surgery to take out the extra bone growth (spurs) in the neck may help with symptoms of difficulty swallowing. You ...
bone spurs, enlarged facet joints and a bulging disc constrict the nerve root canals causing compression and entrapment of the spinal nerves; also called lateral or foraminal stenosis. Central stenosis occurs when the central

such as sitting, leaning forward, or changing positions may ease the pain. Facet joint symptoms may also mimic the pain of a disc herniation. Pain may be felt down the arms or legs if bone spurs form and press on the spinal nerves. The pain may be chronic, or come in periodic flare-...
X-rayscreate images of the bones in your spine and show whether any of them are too close together or whether you have arthritic changes, bone spurs, fractures, or slippage of the vertebrae. Special long-cassette x-rays are taken in standing, flexion, and extension to measure angles and mo...
For bone spurs that compress the nerve, there are surgeries of the spine to help and there are two surgical treatments that are generally effective; ananterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF)or anartificial disc replacement (ADR). If the disc is too degenerative, an ADR would not work...
Symptoms The deterioration of the discs between the vertebrae of the spine is usually a gradual occurrence and leads to narrowing of the spaces between the vertebrae. Bones spurs orosteophytestypically develop. As bone begins to eventually rub on bone, the facet joints (also known as vertebral ...
[between vertebrae], start to lose water content, and it begins a degenerative inflammatory cascade,” explains Dr. Baum. “During that process what can happen is that you develop bone spurs.” These can cause compression of the neck’s nerves, blood vessels or even the spinal cord, ...
The spine is an interconnected complex of bones, nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that provide support to the body as well as our ability to stand straight up. The vertebrae are the bony building blocks of the spine which are supported by the discs in between them. ...
