Neck Spur Symptoms Can Be Treated through Minimally Invasive Laser Spine Surgery
Neck spur symptoms can range from mild to severe, but no matter where you fall in this spectrum, there is no doubt that chronic neck and back pain caused by bone spurs can limit your ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life.
If you have been told that your symptoms are caused by a neck spur, it means that there is an excessive growth of bone tissue on one or more of the vertebrae (or bones) in your neck. This excessive bone tissue growth is called a bone spur, yet contrary to its name, a bone spur is not sharp. A bone spur actually has a smooth surface and does not hurt on its own. The only time you will notice neck spur symptoms is if the spur is causing pressure on your spinal nerves.
Neck spur symptoms may include any of the following:
- Dull pain in the neck
- Neck stiffness
- Pain that radiates to the shoulders
- Headaches
- Pain in one or both arms
- Tingling and/or numbness in the arms
While bone spurs in the neck and spine are a common and natural part of aging, the symptoms they cause can be life changing. Thousands of people who could otherwise work, take care of themselves, and lead an active lifestyle find themselves severely limited by the discomfort of neck spurs.
