This short video shows Bone spurs and nerve irritation in the context of “Thoracic bone spurs (osteophytes).” Our approach is focused on the contributing factors - muscle imbalance. It also shows the areas where pain, burning or tingling may travel when a nerve structure is irritated or sensitive to movement.
Our approach is focused on the contributing factors - muscle imbalance. The clip places this within “Thoracic bone spurs (osteophytes)” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Nerve-related symptoms are not always felt where the irritation begins. The visual shows a possible symptom pathway, while movement, strength and sensitivity still need to be assessed in the individual person.
This is an educational visual linked to “Thoracic bone spurs (osteophytes).” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
