Spurs are a degenerative joint disease that is quite common in over 40 years. Long-term sleeping posture, bad sitting posture, and often wearing high heels can all cause the cause of bone spurs. What sports should be avoided after raw bone spurs? Can Tuina make bone spurs disappear? Luo Zhiguang, an orthopaedic consultant, will answer your questions.
When she was pregnant with her second child, she was found to have pain in one of her feet, thought it was a calcium deficiency during her pregnancy, or was related to her weight gain. She got out of bed every morning and felt pain in her heel. After a little walk, the situation improved a lot.
After the child was born, she found herself struggling to walk like she was. Her weight after production has returned to about 54 kilograms. There should be no problem with foot pain. After seeing a doctor, she learned that it was the pain caused by bone spurs.
Luo Zhiguang, an orthopaedic consultant, asked readers questions related to spurs.
Q: What is a spur?
A: In medicine, it is caused by inflammation of joint cartilage due to aging of joints and cartilage wear, which causes joint spurs.
Western medicine is generally referred to as proliferative osteoarthritis, hypertrophic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis. The correct statement is osteoarthritis. According to statistics, 50% of people over the age of 40 have spurs, and up to 90% of those with 60 or more long spurs.
After articular cartilage wears, it is impossible to regenerate, but the injured cartilage can be treated with drugs or acupuncture to promote cartilage repair and protect cartilage.
It should be noted that after treatment, if the knee is not painful, improper exercise, overwork, feeling cold, or accidental injury may all result in the regeneration of bone spurs.
Q: Heel pain, must be spurious?
A: Spurs are a kind of degenerative joint disease. It is quite common in those who are over forty years old.
If you have pain in your heel, especially in the first step of getting out of bed in the morning, it may be caused by plantar fasciitis. Women, obese and older people often suffer from this condition, and the incidence of women is twice that of men. It may be related to the contraction of Achilles Tendon caused by wearing high heels. It is overweight, overweight, and prolonged walking. People who have been standing for too long, as well as those suffering from spondylitis are high risk groups of the disease.
Plantar fasciitis has many causes, including:
1. The abnormal force of the foot causes excessive fatigue of the fascia and thins the foot fat pad.
2. Often walking on uneven stone pavement for too long will cause inflammation of plantar fascia.
3. Displacement occurs between the sacrum and the cuneiform, causing the sacrum to fall.
4. About 50% of patients have spurs at the attachment site of the calcaneus foot aponeurosis.
Q: Will the spurs be born after a long leg?
A: Men and women working in the office are often used to typing or talking on the phone. This may lead to spurs.
Research shows that 57% of men and women have experienced at least one severe low back pain during their lifetime. The original motion of sitting on a leg may be the cause of low back pain. In addition to prolonged leg kicking, in addition to making the feet paralyzed, for a long time, the back pain may be as low as normal, and the nerves may be necrosis in some legs. When people lame, the lumbar spine bends to the left and the upper body bends to the right. The longer the lameness is, the more naturally the body tends to be on one side, and the sitting posture will distort for a long time. This will cause scoliosis and lead to spurs.
In addition, long-term sleeping position, bad sitting posture and often wear high heels, etc., may also be the cause of planting bone spurs.
Clinically found that women wearing high heels is also one of the causes of bone spurs. In order to balance the body, when wearing high-heeled shoes, you have to walk forward and increase the angle of the lumbar spine, causing the spine to be overloaded. In addition, pillows that are too high or long-term drowsiness when you fall asleep can also cause stress in the spine. As time goes on, you can gradually develop bone spurs.
Once the cervical nerve is compressed by bone spurs, in addition to neck pain and limited mobility, the shoulders, arms, and fingers will feel sore and numb. In severe cases, it may even cause muscle atrophy, reduced muscle strength, and even some patients with neck veins. Due to oppression caused by cerebral hypoxia, dizziness, headaches and other phenomena.
After the spurs, the joints feel pain. It is best not to perform vigorous exercises such as hiking, climbing stairs, running, etc., because strenuous exercise will increase the abrasion of cartilage. Patients with spurs should follow the principle of “early detection and early treatment†so as to prevent knee deformities.
Patients should develop regular exercise habits; in their daily diet, they can ingest calcium-rich foods, including milk and milk products, beans and soy products, marine fish, kelp, black fungus, and black sesame seeds.
Spur patients try to smoke less or quit smoking to avoid alcohol abuse. Smoking and alcohol consumption will reduce bone mineral content.
Q: Can massage eliminate bone spurs?
A: The reason why bone spurs cause pain is because the direction and focus of spurs are just pressing against the surrounding soft tissues and even causing inflammation.
Massage can not completely eliminate bone spurs. However, massage can improve the symptoms of bone spurs, promote local blood circulation, eliminate the inflammatory lesions caused by bone spurs, relax spasms and tight muscle groups, but this is temporary.
Q: How to treat plantar fasciitis?
A: The patient can take the following methods:
1. Use crutches to reduce the weight of the load; less back weight.
2. Avoid long walks or long stops. Less hard tread and hard treading to prevent heel spur formation and re-inflammation.
3. Wear a therapeutic insole. The size of the shoes should be moderate. There should be a soft cushion or air cushion at the bottom to provide arch support and prevent the plantar fascia from being stretched.
4. Heat locally for 2 to 3 times a day, about 10 to 15 minutes each time.
5. Each time you walk, you can apply ice on the heel, about 10 to 15 minutes each time, to reduce inflammation.
6. Obvious signs of inflammation can be oral anti-inflammatory painkillers or local injections of steroids.
7. The effect of Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Therapy is 80%.
