Bone spurs in the lumbar region are bony growths that develop along the edges of vertebrae in the lower back, often due to degeneration from conditions like Arthritis or chronic stress on the spine. They can lead to pain, stiffness, and nerve compression, potentially causing discomfort or radiating pain in the legs. Treatment options include physical therapy, pain management, and, in severe cases, surgery to remove the spurs or relieve nerve pressure. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent their formation.
