Many people have found relief from bone spurs in their neck by supplementing their diet with a special calcium formula with other minerals. It is important to understand what causes a bone spur to develop in the first place.
There are many hard to believe theories on the cause of bone spurs. After many years of hearing what works for different people, our conclusion on the matter is this:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.
Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent they're just like any other body tissue - they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones are renewed.
Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell.
When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the bone spur.
Many people that have suffered from bone spurs found relief when they properly supplemented their diet daily with "good" calcium. They found that providing their body with "good" calcium along with other vital minerals stopped the "leaching process" (calcium deficiency) thus allowing the bone spur to shrink down and eventually disappear. With the bone spur gone, the surrounding damage from the spur is able to heal also.
Important: The calcium+ must be carefully formulated to be easily digested to accomplish the "good" calcium environment in building healthy body/bone cells.

What does L5 nerves abutted by osteophyte in neural foramina mean?
As I understand it L5 is one of the vertebrae each vertebrae has cartilage between it to keep them apart and give them movement and protect them from wearing on each other. Neural foramina refers to the area where nerves from the spinal canal make their way out between the vertebrae to the rest of the body. If for one reason or another the cartilage or vertebrae is damaged you have a problem. in this case spurs of bone have grown (probably as a result of osteoarthritis) between the vertebrae. these spurs are touching and interfering with the nerves that pass between them. This can result in pain, tingling in parts of the body and other malfunctions. Spurs or osteophytes are formed as a result of bone being worn and damage control forming new bone to replace it, Not a good idea where joints are concerned.

Are horse spurs right?
The sole purpose of spurs is to act as a leg aid. For riders that have weak legs or horses that tend to be 'dead sided', spurs are a great way to communicate to your horse. Spurs in the wrong hands, however, can do great damage to the horse. Sharp edged spurs should never be used. Small, smooth spurs are all that is needed as an extension of the riders legs and heels.
What does a MRI mean if they say multilevel posterior disc osteophytes at c3-c4c4-c5 and c5-c6 which indent the anterior CSF column but do not flatten the cord?
Many patients are told that they have "bone spurs" in their back or neck, and many think that the bone spurs are the cause of their back pain. However, bone spurs are just an indication that there has been degeneration of the spine. They really are not the actual cause of the back pain. The term "bone spurs" is really an accurate description, and the term "spurs" might suggest that these bony growths are pressing some part of the nerves or spinal cord and causing pain. Most of the time this isn't the case at all. Bone spurs are in fact smooth structures that form over a prolonged period of time. The medical term for bony spurs is osteophytes, and they represent an enlargement of the bony plate of the vertebras. Actually, they are a XRay marker of spinal degeneration (�arthritis�) and are a normal finding as we age. Just about everyone over 40-50 has some (a lot of it depending on the "wear & tear" on the spine: type of job, genetics, weight, etc). In your case, this report says that the bony spurs are growing into the spinal canal and pressing on the sac that surrounds the spinal cord, but are not pressing on the spinal cord. If an MRI was ordered they must suspect a disc issue. The discs won't show on the x-ray but an MRI they will. This is why they'll typically order an x-ray 1st, it's much cheaper and easier to do and you can see degeneration, like spurs and arthritis. You can also see the disc spaces. Either way you need to work on spinal alignment. This helps to slow the degenerative process and pull the discs back in place as much as possible.
