If you do not have any pain or discomfort associated with the bone spur then no treatment is not necessary. However, it is important to understand the underlying cause for the bone spur such as premature degeneration or instability issues of your spine. Understanding the root cause allows you to make educated medical decisions and take an active role in your care. Often, having a better understanding of your spinal health and making any necessary lifestyle adjustments prevents problems from worsening later and will possibly help slow down the degenerative process.
