The treatment of bone hyperplasia is relatively complex. Because bone hyperplasia will exist for a long time, most treatments are mainly aimed at improving the clinical symptoms of patients. Although symptoms improve after active cooperation with the treatment, the pathological basis of bone hyperplasia always exists. Later, in the case of increased numbers or fatigue, it is easy to cause the recurrence of pain symptoms in patients. Bone hyperplasia can be treated with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs and anti-bone hyperplasia medications. It is also necessary to reduce the amount of exercise, minimize local irritation, never get cold, and local heat application can be beneficial.

What are the symptoms of bone hyperplasia?

Bone hyperplasia is mainly caused by degenerative joint changes. The symptoms vary depending on the affected area. For example, bone hyperplasia in the cervical spine can cause symptoms such as limb pain, numbness, weakness, dizziness, and nausea when it compresses and irritates vessels and nerves. Bone hyperplasia in the joints can lead to joint pain, swelling, fluid accumulation, restricted movement, and even deformities. In the case of lumbar spine bone hyperplasia, when it stimulates the nerve roots, it can cause symptoms like back and leg pain, and numbness and weakness in the limbs. Thus, it is evident that the symptoms of bone hyperplasia differ depending on the location.

Causes of bone hyperplasia

There are several reasons for the onset of bone proliferation in clinical practice, with the main considerations being the following situations. For example, as age increases, it can lead to bone proliferation in patients. Additionally, some patients may engage in heavy physical labor, and the repeated local friction and stimulation can also lead to bone proliferation. Furthermore, if a patient sustains a local trauma, it can similarly lead to bone proliferation. These are common causes of bone proliferation. In mild cases of bone proliferation, the symptoms are usually localized pain. In severe cases, it may cause joint deformities and even impinge on spinal nerves.

Causes of lumbar vertebral hyperostosis

The first reason is aging of the human body. As the body ages, the lumbar spine inevitably exhibits degenerative changes due to wear and tear from movement, and the majority of people over 60 show the formation of bone spurs in X-ray images. The second reason is injury caused by overexertion. Overexertion, due to excessive workload and excessive activity, aggravates the degeneration of the lumbar spine, leading to the formation of bone spurs. The third reason is a history of trauma. Trauma to the lumbar area during one's youth can lead to bone proliferation in the lumbar spine in middle and old age. The fourth reason is improper posture. Bone proliferation in the lumbar spine in young patients is mainly due to maintaining the same posture for long periods, improper posture, and sleeping on soft beds, all of which can lead to bone proliferation over time. These are the main reasons for bone proliferation in the lumbar spine currently observed in clinical settings.

Is it good to lie flat with lumbar hyperostosis?

In general, for patients with lumbar spondylosis, if there are no symptoms of sciatic nerve pain, lying flat is usually very effective, but it's best to sleep on a hard bed. If the patient's lumbar spondylosis has caused spinal nerve compression resulting in sciatic nerve pain, it is best for such patients to lie on their side. Side lying allows the knees and hips to bend, thereby reducing the tension on the sciatic nerve and effectively alleviating the symptoms of sciatic nerve pain. Additionally, for those with painful symptoms due to lumbar spondylosis, it is advisable to wear a lumbar support belt to protect the area.
