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.

What should I do about bone hyperplasia?

For the issue of how to deal with osteophyte formation, the incidence rate is very high clinically. The treatment method mainly depends on the severity of the patient's osteophyte formation. If the patient's osteophyte formation is very severe, such as deformities in the joints or nerve compression that affect the patient's normal work or life, it is necessary to actively perform surgical treatment. For example, joint replacement or discectomy, spinal canal enlargement and decompression may be performed to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. Additionally, it is necessary to actively use nutritional and neurological medications to promote nerve recovery. For cases of mild osteophyte formation, conservative treatment options include oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and medications that combat osteophyte formation. (Please use medications under the guidance of a professional physician and do not self-medicate.)

Cervical spondylosis hot compress method

In clinical practice, there are numerous methods of hot compresses for patients with cervical spondylosis. For example, one can use a bag of heated salt, fried bran, or a hot water bottle for hot compresses. The main purpose of hot compresses is to promote local blood circulation, which can effectively alleviate the pain symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis, and the effects are quite good. It is best to apply hot compresses twice a day, with each session lasting more than half an hour for more noticeable effects. Additionally, patients with cervical spondylosis should try to keep their heads up as much as possible and not maintain the same neck posture for extended periods. Engaging in activities like playing badminton, flying kites, or swimming can help strengthen the neck muscles.

What medicine is there for bone hyperplasia?

The treatment primarily depends on the condition and location of the patient's bone proliferation. If the bone proliferation occurs in the joint area, early treatment can often involve oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, as well as medications that nourish the cartilage. If the bone proliferation occurs in the cervical or lumbar spine and is accompanied by spinal nerve compression, treatment should include oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, anti-proliferative agents, and medications that nourish the nerves. Additionally, strict attention should be given to rest and protection, as these are the best conditions for patient recovery. Local applications of heat or washing with hot water can further improve the symptoms of bone proliferation. (Specific medications should be administered under the guidance of a physician.)

Symptoms of lumbar hyperostosis

The symptoms of lumbar spondylosis mainly include localized pain and limited mobility. This condition can be alleviated through conservative treatments such as massage, acupuncture, electrotherapy, and magnetotherapy to relieve localized pain. Alternatively, block therapy can be used for relief. It is important to note that block therapy rapidly reduces pain symptoms, but its duration is limited. Also, the frequency of using this method is strictly limited to a maximum of 1-2 times per month because the injection contains a high concentration of steroids, which can damage local muscles or ligaments and potentially worsen the pain. (For specific medication use, please follow the guidance of a doctor and do not self-medicate.)
