Osteophyte means bone spur
An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.
Basically this medical term is bone spur formation. Disc osteophyte is a spinal cord condition that is caused by the development of bone spurs or osteophytes on the vertebrae or intervertebral discs.
Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.
You have a bone spur on the vertebrae that is protruding towards the front of your body and putting pressure on the sac of cerebrospinal fluid that encircles the brain and spinal cord.
A disk osteophyte complex occurs where the soft tissue of the inter-vertebral disk herniates or extrudes outside of the of its normal parameters along with a bone spur(s) of the vertebrae. The bone spurs are smooth structures formed over a period of time, i.e., degenerative changes as part of the aging process. Because of the delicate nature of the degenerative changes, which alone may by asymptomatic, any intervening trauma may make them symptomatic due any combination of the spur or disk protrusion. Pain and numbness may occur because of the combination of the disk and the osteophyte (or "disk osteophyte complex") impinging on the nerve root system, or structure surrounding the spinal cord.

A bone spur is not a disability. If you were able to describe how the bone spur affected your function, that would be a disability. The majority of people have bone spurs in their feet.
It is a bone spur that appears in the neck. When a bone spur develops in your neck it may cause stiffness and pain in the back and neck. It can protrude inward, occasionally making it difficult to swallow or painful to breathe. The bone spur can also push against veins, restricting blood flow to your brain. Bone spurs in your neck is usually caused by osteoarthritis. When the discs between your vertebrae start getting thinner your body may try to compensate by adding bone tissue at the edges of the vertebrae to try and compensate. This bone growth is known as a bone spur.
Since this condition arises due to the aging factor for most of them, this could be cured by proper nutrition. Like persons nearing the age of 45+ should have regular intake of protein + vitamins + minerals to boost up their basic health. Persons diagnosed with disc osteophyte complex should also be given GlucoseAmine supplement which could help them to get back the cartilage function.
A thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone is usually a heel spur.
