Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Osteophytes are mostly due to healing of previous spine injury.
And these Osteophytes can cause compression of the nerves and pain, numbness etc.
These are two options for treatment.
1. Medical management (conservative)
2. Surgical management.
In medical management, aggressive physiotherapy in the form of massage, ultrasound, wax, diathermy, warm water pad application etc are included.
If conservative approach fails then surgical removal of Osteophytes is the only option.
So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
