Preventing Bone Spur
If bone spurs are a result of arthritis’ normal wear and tear, they are typically unavoidable. But you can take the following actions to prevent bone spurs brought on by other factors:
- Put on footwear with a wide toe box, strong arch support, and sufficient cushion to soften each stride. Hire a professional to fit your shoes so that they won’t rub on your feet as you walk. To keep your shoes from rubbing, put on thick socks.
- To safeguard your bones, eat a balanced diet [3] rich in calcium and vitamin D [4].
- To maintain your bones strong, engage in frequent weight-bearing activities like stair climbing or walking.
- Try to maintain your weight loss.
