Dr. Lin Yunfei
Trampolining may cause lumbar osteophyte formation. Excessive force during trampoline use can, over time, lead to calcification of the tendons around the lumbar vertebrae, eventually developing into bone spurs. Patients with lumbar osteophytes should avoid intense physical activities in daily life. Local massage or heat application can be performed to promote blood circulation and alleviate discomfort symptoms.
