In addition to the valuable information on the causes and treatment of bone spurs, this fact sheet also includes prevention tips to help you maintain your bone health. What’s more, we’ve included a section with physical therapist advised exercises complete with instructions. These exercises are designed to help manage the symptoms of bone spurs, improve mobility, and enhance overall bone health.
