Take medication combined with aerobic exercise. Patients of this type can effectively relieve symptoms by taking anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. If symptoms are severe, surgery is the best treatment option for lumbar osteophyte formation. Avoiding excessive load and overexertion on the lower back can reduce adverse stimulation to ligaments and lumbar vertebrae, thereby alleviating bone spur development. After treatment, patients may also perform aerobic exercises to improve joint function, but strenuous activities should be avoided.
