11Bone Spur Treatments
Apply Heat and Cold
A simple yet effective way to alleviate pain caused by a bone spur is to alternate between heat and ice therapy. Ice would relieve swelling and inflammation, while heat would improve stiffness and pain. You just need to put a heating pad or cold pack on the affected joints for 10 to 20 minutes a couple of times per day. Also, you might soak in a hot bath or take a hot shower to relax your muscle groups. When applying ice packs, make sure to cover the ice with a cloth or something similar to avoid skin burns. These options can give you quick relief for your pain and swelling. [11]
