Hello, Regarding your condition—bone spurs (osteophytes) and associated lower back pain—we recommend targeted treatment based on diagnostic test results. If the low back pain is indeed caused by bone spurs, it’s important to actively treat the underlying condition. Moreover, since low back pain can stem from numerous causes, we advise avoiding excessive or overly strenuous physical activity in daily life. Additionally, maintaining a nutritionally balanced and comprehensive diet is essential. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
