I request a smart field (NFT or audio) to
âDissolve nonfunctional bone spursâ
I also request a smart field (NFT or audio) to help us maintain good posture. âHelp us maintain good posture by strengthening all the muscles that we use to have good posture.â
Reason: Ive used âSymmetrical Bodyâ for over 4 months with good results. BUT my muscles have a a difficult time maintaining this torso symmetry. Ive been using both Hardcore and MBL on alternate days for months, but it hasnt fixed the problem. I know many people have bad posture, so this could help them. (BTW read my review of âSymmetrical Bodyâ, an excellent field)
Thanks for your consideration.
"Bone spurs come in two flavors, functional and non-functional. Despite this, many patients consider a âbone spurâ a bad thing. Patients often believe that bone is like inanimate cement. However, itâs really more like living hard plastic. It responds to new forces placed on it. Bone spurs occur when the joint is unstable or a part of the joint needs âshoring upâ. Two interesting examples are in the knee. When a patella (knee cap) is pulled too much to one side, the joint responds by adding new bone (essentially extending the joint out further in the that direction). We call this new area a âbone spurâ but itâs really just a new part of the joint thatâs been created through local stem cells. Another example is when the post-surgical meniscus starts spitting outside the joint and bone spurs are created out in that direction to take advantage of the new position of the meniscus. In both of these examples, these bone spurs are functional, because they allow the joint to work better.
Non-functional bone spurs can begin life as functional spurs, but at some point too much bone is laid down and this dramatically reduces the range of motion of a joint. Literally the new bone gets in the way of normal joint motion. These can be removed surgically, but did you know they can be removed through a needle? This new technique is called barbotage. The area is numbed and then a needle is placed under ultrasound guidance to break up the bone spur. The spur is then naturally reabsorbed by the body and the joint can now move freely. This is a great example of how stem cell therapy can be combined with advanced image guided needle techniques to help restore normal joint function. Hereâs what a patient, about two months out from this treatment had to say:
Overall My ankle feels much better. Range of motion â 20% better â Overall pain relief â 40% better. Now I can stand for long periods of time (e.g. 2 hours) , whereas before I could only manage 30 mins max. I can also manage cycling (no pain) and some elliptical trainer (running machine work âapprox 15 mins). Iâm hoping for further improvements in the range of motion as the strength is (slowly) restored. Overall Iâm very pleased with progress to date.
So, in this case, it appears that treatment of a non-functional bone spur can be performed without surgery and that this can improve range of motion and function. Since this was non-surgical, recovery time is also shorter."
