What are Bone Spurs?

• Bone spurs are conditions of abnormal growth in
  bone affecting different parts of the body,
  especially where the bones meet each other. Due
  to the overgrowth of bone, a large bulge is
  formed on the joint or the bones which protrude
  out. This problem is called bone spurs.
• Bone spurs are also called osteophytes. It also
  affects the spinal cord including many parts of
  the body like arms, shoulders, neck, hips, knees,
  and feet. If the problem gets aggravated then it
  can become a serious condition for you. Remember,
  it also causes symptoms, if you pay attention to
  its initial condition.

What causes Bone Spurs?

• Bone spurs are caused by joint damage due to
  osteoarthritis or joint diseases. In fact, the
  cushioning of cartilage between the joints and
  the spinal cord diminishes with age. Due to this,
  the problem of bone spurs occurs. Apart from
  this, diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
  and gout also damage the joints.
• Bone spurs are caused by injuries to the joints
  or tendons. When the body gets a signal about
  bone damage, it tries to repair the bone by
  attaching it to the affected area. Not only this
  but bone spurs are caused due to long-running
  exercises, dancing, aging, poor diet, obesity,
  bone problems since birth, spinal stenosis, and
  genetic reasons.
