Can cervical bone spurs heal spontaneously?

Cervical osteophytes (bone spurs) generally do not resolve spontaneously. They primarily result from degeneration or aging of the cervical joints and are typically irreversible. Conservative treatments—such as acupuncture and physical therapy—can help manage symptoms. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. Additionally, avoid prolonged sitting or maintaining a fixed posture in daily life to prevent symptom exacerbation.
