Bony Spurs-Definition, Symptoms and Treatment

In Dr. Koshes’ massage therapy training he reviews commonly diagnosed musculoskeletal conditions with protocols for treatment. He tells his class that bony spurs are calcium deposited in a soft tissue like a ligament, tendon or muscle due to repeated trauma or increased stress on the structure.

Symptoms that can be produced can be neurological, ligamentous or involve other soft tissues that the spur impinges upon.

Treatment initially should include “PRICES” which stands for; protection of the injury, rest of the injury, ice, compression, elevation and support for the injury. Treatment of this type of injury could take 4-6 weeks. In-office care protocol could include massage treatment (to the surrounding tissues but not directly over the spur), acupuncture, physical therapy, and chiropractic, mild to moderate support bracing and/or exercise therapy.

A well-known CEU Instructor For LMT's, Dr. Koshes offers a number of Continuing Education Classes for Massage Therapists including Advanced Training For LMT's, and Florida CEU Programs For LMT's. His CEU classes are accredited by the Florida State Board Of Massage Therapy.
