Bone spurs, or osteophytes, can contribute to the development of herniated discs by causing narrowing of the spinal canal or intervertebral foramen, which may put pressure on the surrounding discs and nerves. This pressure can weaken the disc structure, making it more prone to herniation. Additionally, the presence of bone spurs can lead to altered biomechanics in the spine, increasing the risk of disc injury. However, while bone spurs can be a contributing factor, herniated discs can occur due to various other reasons as well.

Are bone spurs hereditary?

no Some health conditions such as various forms of arthritis can lead to bone spurs have a hereditary predisposition to them.


Are bone spurs hereidity?

Bone spurs, or osteophytes, are not directly hereditary, but genetic factors can influence the likelihood of developing conditions that lead to their formation, such as osteoarthritis. Lifestyle factors, such as physical activity level and joint stress, also play a significant role in their development. While you may have a family history of joint issues, it does not guarantee that you will develop bone spurs.


Do bone spurs go away?

Bone spurs, or osteophytes, typically do not go away on their own, as they are bony growths that develop in response to joint damage or pressure. While they might not cause symptoms in some individuals, they can lead to pain or discomfort if they impinge on nearby tissues. Treatment options, including physical therapy, medication, or surgery, can help manage symptoms but may not eliminate the bone spurs themselves.


Can hip bone spurs grow back?

Hip bone spurs may regrow after surgical removal in some cases, but this is relatively uncommon. However, the presence of underlying conditions that contribute to bone spur formation, such as arthritis, can lead to new bone spur formation over time. It's important to address the underlying cause to help prevent future bone spur growth.


At t10-T11 there is a central disc bulge which indents the anterior thecal sac and abuts the cord?

Herniated disks can compress the spinal cord as the nucleus pulposa pushes out forward (anteriolaterally) and can cause spinal root compression. This can lead to unilateral deficit causing weakness.

Bone Spurs and Stenosis?

If you have been diagnosed with a bone spur of the spine, not only may it lead to a loss of motion and pain, you may also develop stenosis. This is a narrowing of the spinal column itself. As a result of this narrowing, neurological symptoms often appear. If tendons or ligaments are pressed on by the bone spur, a tear may result. This is more common in other areas of the body.

Common injuries with bench press?

Front deltoid tear (Shoulder muscle) and chest muscle tear. Actually, i would say that most bench press injuries are joint related, such as a rotator cuff tear or labrum tear. Bone spurs can form in the shoulder joint and start carving up the tissue around it if the shoulder is not controlled and secure when bench pressing, so be careful.
