@deborahfrick123 Bone spurs form because of uneven pressure as the body's way to try to stabilize something. The first thing to do is to figure out why you got them in the first place. Where is the body out of alignment and where and why is extra pressure being created? A physical therapist can help assess what is happening. If you walk while out of alignment of your pelvis, back, ankles, and knees, you can cause uneven wear and tear on your knees, and you may need a knee replacement in the future. You may also want to consult at PT who also knows myofascial release because overly tight fascial tissue puts LOTS of pressure on the body. If you can correct the misalignment, you can prevent this problem. You can also consult other specialties for example a podiatrist if it is heel spurs, and custom orthotics can help maintain the feet in proper alignment. Foot alignment is usually a first step when there is knee pain. Here is our discussion on Myofacial release. There is a provider finder on the MFR website.
