What is calcaneus spur

Heel bone spur is heel hyperplasia. Its symptoms are tenderness of the foot roots. He is afraid to force the heel when walking. There is stone sting. The feeling of acupuncture. After the activity is opened, the symptoms are reduced. Long bone spurs in the calcaneus are more common in middle-aged and elderly people. people. There are also redness and swelling symptoms, and there may be pain or numbness in the heels and soles, and even the situation of being unable to walk on foot. This pain is especially noticeable when you get up and stand in the morning. Will lighten. It is usually heavy in the morning and light in the afternoon.

The difference between osteogenesis and bone spurs

Bone spurs are called osteophytes and bone hyperplasia in medicine. Bone spurs area normal physiological degradation phenomenon that is humana protective physiological response that everyone cannot avoid. The difference is that some people appear earlier and others appear laterusually after age 40. The bone hyperplasia of the lumbar vertebra is gradually obvious, and the degree of hyperplasia is also different. All the joints with the most activity and the largest negative have the bone hyperplasia earlier. The lumbar vertebrae and the inferior visceral joints bear the heavy load, so they are often the most common ones. Parts.
The causal relationship between bone spurs and pain does not hold, and there is no inevitability between the two. Clinical studies have shown that human vertebral bodies are prone to bone spurs, and vertebral body hyperplasia is usually the leading edge. There is no sensitive tissue that causes pain in the vicinity. That is to say, the front of the vertebral body is a safer place, and the bone spurs are longer. It also does not cause pain, so when orthopedic surgeons perform vertebral surgery on patients, they often plant it in front of the vertebral body-a bone is not a problem. The hyperplasia of the posterior edge of the vertebral body may compress the adjacent tissues, but it is not enough to compress the nerves and cause pain, because the lumbar spinal canal is wider and the nerve root hole is larger. Some people have measured that the nerve root hole is 3 to 5 times larger than the nerve root. It is not easy for bone spurs to compress nerve roots.
Bone hyperplasia generally does not cause compression symptoms, but bone hyperplasia can indirectly cause chronic strain of local tissues, and it can also cause pain and pain. After the formation of bone hyperplasia, it will squeeze to the surrounding, and the muscle tissue around the joints is rich in nerve fibers. When nerve fibers are stimulated and compressed, they can cause numbness and pain, especially after the nerve root is compressed, not only local soreness and pain, but also similar reactions can occur within its jurisdiction.
If bone hyperplasia occurs in the cervical spine, the problem can be serious. For example, bone spurs can compress blood vessels, which can affect blood circulation, especially the vertebral arteries, which supply blood to the brain. They can cause dizziness, unstable walking, and speech. Unclear and other symptoms; if the bone spur extends into the spinal canal and compresses the spinal cord, it can also lead to severe consequences such as paralysis, numbness, and incontinence.
Symptomatic treatment includes the following aspects: combination of movement and static, prevention of overwork, protection from cold and cold, combined with infrared radiation, heat therapy, acupuncture and massage, massage, local closure, nerve block, traction, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. Proper physical exercise, pay attention to maintain a good posture, so that the muscle ligaments are in a relaxed state, in order to consolidate the treatment effect and reduce the recurrence of the disease. For a very small number of people with dysfunction caused by bone spurs compressing nerves and blood vessels, surgical resection should be considered to completely eliminate the root cause. Calcaneal spurs-Home treatments Bone hyperplasia, also called bone spurs, is one of the currently incurable diseases. Although it is not life-threatening, patients must endure a variety of tingling sensations for a long time. It is a very painful disease . At the same time, the disease can also be said to be a normal physiological phenomenon, because with age, the cartilage of the joints gradually degenerates, the elasticity of the cells decreases, and the bones and joints are unknowingly worn, especially with a large amount of activity. The cartilage of the neck, waist, knee, heel, and damaged joints is difficult to repair without blood vessels to provide nutrition. At this time, the blood circulation around the articular cartilage is relatively strong, and modern compensatory cartilage growth will occur. This is bone The precursor of mass hyperplasia. Over time, the hyperplastic cartilage is calcified, and this is bone hyperplasia. Bone spurs are generally asymptomatic and require no treatment. Once the symptoms appear, they can be transformed into terrible or paralyzed when the pathological state is severe.
Bone spurs are a natural physiological phenomenon. Maintaining the same posture of sitting and standing for a long time, or incorrect posture, will cause strains of the neck and shoulder and waist muscles, leaving the cervical spine and lumbar spine in a flexed position or some specific positions for a long time. Increase the pressure in the cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs, the cervical and lumbar muscles are in a state of uncoordinated stress for a long time, the cervical and lumbar muscle groups, ligaments, and fascia are stretched and strained, and the skeletal soft tissues at the anterior and posterior edges of the vertebrae are excessively worn and proliferated, and small joints are twisted 2. Excessive lateral flexion leads to injury, and cervical and lumbar vertebral body edges and facet joint hyperplasia are more likely to occur.
Bone hyperplasia is the abnormality of some bones in the bone during physiological activities, such as thorn-shaped, lip-shaped, wavy, round and so on. It seems that the extra part is actually a common physiological phenomenon of the human body. Occurs in the cervical spine, lumbar spine, hips, knees, ankles, calcaneus, and upper limbs are more common in the elbow joint, interphalangeal joints, etc. Knee joints are best because they carry the entire weight of the body. When a person is walking, one foot is lifted and the other foot falls to the ground. At this time, the entire weight of the body is pressed on the joints (including the knee joints) that fall to the lower limbs. At this time, the pressure on the knee joints is much greater than the other All joints, this is the main cause of bone hyperplasia.
The key to treating bone spurs is not to eliminate bone spurs, but to eliminate aseptic inflammation around the bone spurs. If there is pain, you can use anti-inflammatory analgesics or closed treatment for symptomatic treatment, or use heat compresses, physical therapy, massage and traction to promote blood circulation, relax local muscles and relieve pain, or use a small needle knife to reduce nerve compression. At present, domestic and international patients are generally recommended to use GZ-IIIC drug introduction hyperthermia in daily home nursing rehabilitation treatment. It uses low frequency modulation of intermediate frequency pulse current and drug guidance to combine intermediate frequency electricity and drug introduction. To achieve the therapeutic effect on the disease, it has been proved to have exact curative effect through clinical verification. It is suitable for a variety of bone spurs (cervical spurs, lumbar spurs, knee spurs, heel spurs, etc.), simple and easy to understand, safe to use, and easy to carry, especially suitable for clinics and home use.
After the elderly find obvious bone spurs, proper exercise should still be carried out, but long-term vigorous exercise should be avoided, because long-term vigorous exercise can make the bones and surrounding soft tissues unevenly stressed, overloaded, and increase pain. At the same time pay attention to cold and warm.
Calcaneal spurs-The best method for the treatment of calcaneal spurs is pure plaster of traditional Chinese medicine. It can be applied externally to relieve tendons and blood, relieve swelling and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and dispel stasis, and remove wind and cold. Bacterial inflammation.
Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are generally used. The role of these drugs is to suppress local inflammatory reactions, promote tissue healing, and relieve pain. Many patients feel discomfort in the upper abdomen after taking the drug, and have a greater irritation to the stomach. After stopping the drug, many patients report that the pain recurs. Follow the bone spurs with a small needle knife combined with closed treatment!
Heel spurs are common and frequently-occurring diseases in orthopedics, and severe cases affect life and work. It is understood that the cause of calcaneus spurs is the contraction of the long patellar ligament and the patellar aponeurosis, which causes continuous traction damage at the attachment point of the calcaneus. The treatment mechanism of the small needle knife is to peel off adhesions, unblock qi and blood, loosen muscles, relieve spasm and analgesia, and apply a small needle knife on the heel bone spurs to loosen tense contracture muscles or ligaments and release the adhesion to the heel. The point of injury is stretched, so as to achieve the purpose of "no pain when loose," and then closed locally with QuAn to reduce exudation, prevent adhesions, and reduce inflammation and analgesia. Both are used to enhance the curative effect.
You can use 150 ~ 250 ml vinegar (preferably Shanxi vinegar) to warm, boil it and put it in a bowl or a small plate (you can also put the vinegar in a bowl and drip it slowly onto a hot iron plate). Lit steam on the heel or wash with gauze and hot vinegar. Add 30-60 mg of weilingxian in vinegar, and then smoke it after cooking, the effect is better. 2 times a day, 6 days as a course of treatment.

Calcaneal spurs-Heel bone spurs are likely to occur in the middle-aged and elderly population, because with age, the heel is worn out chronically and chronically. At the same time, the heel is the place where humans are under the most stress for the longest time. The heels of the elderly do not know how many frictions and shocks they have experienced, so many elderly are prone to heel spurs. According to clinical observations, some elderly people develop onset of biped simultaneously or successively, but most of them occur unilaterally. In general, the pain is heavier when you get up in the morning and get off the ground. After walking, the pain is alleviated. After long-distance walking, the pain will be aggravated. For example, when you accidentally step on a tile or walk down the stairs, your foot will be hit hard. It can cause severe pain. Sometimes there is a tenderness point in the center of the heel. X-rays showed osteophyte formation in the calcaneus.
Calcaneal Spurs-Prevention of Calcaneal Spurs To prevent calcaneal spurs, long-term strenuous exercise should be avoided. Long-term strenuous exercise can make the bones and surrounding soft tissues unevenly stressed and cause bone hyperplasia. Second, proper physical exercise is required, because the nutrition of articular cartilage comes from joint fluid, and exercise can make joint fluid enter cartilage and promote bone metabolism. Appropriate exercise, especially the movement of joints, can increase the pressure in the joint cavity, facilitate the penetration of cartilage between joint fluids, reduce the degenerative changes of articular cartilage, and thereby reduce or prevent bone hyperplasia. The third is to pay attention to calcium supplements in the diet. Heel pain maintenance methods are: rest; choose thick soles, the soles can not be soft, shoes with softer insoles, it is best to have a certain curvature of the heel to adapt to the curve of the heel; apply soft cushions on the heel, such as made of silicone Heel pain pads protect heels and reduce friction; functional exercises.

Anti-inflammatory pain medication. The role of these drugs is to suppress local inflammatory reactions, promote tissue healing, and relieve pain.

Research on modern new therapies for the treatment of calcaneal spurs has found that no matter what type of bone hyperplasia is, it is a disease whose main changes are articular cartilage degeneration, bone and joint edge hyperplasia, exudation due to synovial hypertrophy, adhesion Pathological changes such as exudation, adhesion, and calcification occurred. Bone spurs can grow rapidly under inflammation, compressing nerves and affecting blood flow. In addition, it will further aggravate inflammation, thereby forming a malignant loop of the iliac crest, which is a joint point for the treatment of the disease.

Heel bone spurs are prone to middle-aged and elderly people, because with the increase of age, the heel is worn for a long time and chronically. At the same time, the heel is the place where the human is under the greatest pressure for the longest. Innumerable friction and impact, so many elderly people are prone to heel spurs. According to clinical observations, some elderly people develop onset of biped simultaneously or successively, but most of them occur unilaterally.
