Guest guest Report post Posted May 13, 2007 Hi Sharon That does not mean bone spur. First i would like to state again, for the most part bone spurs do not cause symptoms actually they are often useful for stability. Changes in areas were one can see changes, ie peripheral joints, do not mean a bone spur or any other calcification is removed. A decrease in inflammation can often result in reduced capsular or other soft tissue size and texture. I have tried to document actual changes in bone spurring both in peripheral joints and spine and just could not. I am now starting to do musculoskeletal ultrasound dx and will have a lot of opportunity to follow pt. If i find something to report i will share - sharon weizenbaum Sunday, May 13, 2007 10:15 AM Re: bone spurs Sharon Do you have imaging you can show me thanks Alon Hi Alon, No, no imaging but clear changes visually and in relation to symptoms Sharon Sharon Weizenbaum 86 Henry Street Amherst, MA 01002 413-549-4021 sweiz www.whitepinehealingarts.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks, Beata. I'll try these. Andrea Beth coastacu wrote: Hi Andrea, I would look for Ah Shi points in the mirror of the affected area, these may be on the yin side of the hand, ie the thenar eminence. In the absence of Ah Shi, try needling the mirror alternating with the yin side. Also, there are 2 points Dr Tan talks about, Mu Guan and Gu Guan. Mu Guan is distal to the wrist on the line of the web margin of the 4th and 5th finger to the midpoint of the wrist, ie P7. Gu Guan is on the line of the web margin of the 2nd and 3rd fingers to the center of the wrist, distal to the wrist crease. These points are good for any bony growth, and I find that Gu Guan in particular is often very tender. I would use ear needles in a tender area such as this, quick insertion, easily manipulated. As for orthotics, I refer locally to a great physical therapist who makes orthotics. I must say, I was quite skeptical of the efficacy of the Tan points until I started using them. Now I am amazed.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 20, 2009 I was bothered by bone spurs in my early days, until I found out that too much calcium is just as bad as too little. It seems that unless it is balanced with magnesium and vitamin D, it lacks the enzymes that form the chemical steps to transform blood calcium into bone calcium. So, the calcium just deposits onto other bones, or even worse, it forms calcium deposit in various places including the lungs and breasts of women and men. The usual " nutritional " balance taught in schools still is a 2/1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, but I found that's too low for people that drink milk and eat a lot of meat, and not enough green veggies. I take equal supplements of calcium and magnesium citrate, and get the rest of the minerals and vitamin D from a megavitamin (Solgar VM-75) and haven't any real problems since -- Phil Bate PhD http://drbate.com - Free Alternate Health Advice Neuroliminal Training (NT) helps solve mental problems without drugs at low cost.
